The story is original and they could've made something big with it, but they did not. Some scenes were ridiculous, and I refer more to the reactions of the characters.
The female lead had some fidelity issues that were left untouched. She makes Hoshio stand by her just because it makes her happy, forgetting about what he may feel or think. Instead of meditating on her selfishness noou she just makes a fuss about it. About Hoshio, well, let's just say I only liked him when he was not Hoshio.
There is poor character development, except for a few side characters, which are pretty good. That old couple was my favorite and kept me watching till the end.
Finally, the story's end is very much like a telenovela. So those of you who've watched an hispanic telenovela may know what i'm talking about. ;)

The drama has a interesting starting plot, however nearing the end it just wandering without clear direction. The last episode had one last chance to bring a big shock, but did not do that - it just ended like what you might already thinking in the first episode. I will also never understand will Hoshio has to fly with that weird pose lol. Regarding the characters, Sawa probably is not what people nowadays want to see - she's egoist and somewhat manipulative but always get away from it. I love the story of Shigeta's family, it adds more to the story. For the funny part, they rely on repeated comedy skits which actually worked with me.The casts are doing a solid job with their acts, some might think Ryoko Hirosue and Sota lacked chemistry but I feel that it was meant to be like that - Sawa is desperate and in need of a partner while Hoshio is just loving without really understanding it. I also liked Ryusei Onishi as a tough on the outside but softhearted Dai.
Loved the main theme (I was very happy when it was finally on Spotify) - it suits the drama and it came out at the right timing, but that's about it.
Nevertheless, it is still fun to watch for those who want just have a light entertaining drama to fill the day.

The plot line is original, I think. I don't know if there is a drama like that.
Story: 10/10 because I haven't really seen the plot quite like this one. I have seen people who fall in love live together, but the reason for living under one roof is different.
Acting: 9/10 becuase I like the side characters are cute to watch & the leads have great chemistry!
Music: 8/10 becuase there are some cute BGM numbers but not memorable.
Rewatch value: 10/10 it's still airing, but this drama is so adorable that I want to watch it again when it's done!

What was interesting about this drama was the family dynamics. The children were adorable and they performed really well. The story had an interesting idea behind it too, however, there were too many cliches in it and the romance was weak and not that entertaining.
Some episodes were boring too. And some scenes were idiotic. But, other than that, the drama had some feel good vibes and cute characters.
So, overall, five out of ten.

Amnesiac alien tries to fit in
This drama started out with an interesting premise. At first, it seemed like a quirky Sci-Fi romance type of story, or a slice of life from the perspective of an alien.Unfortunately, this drama went on aimlessly without really anything happening. We are never made to understand what Hoshio wants or desires, where he wants to go and he kind of awkwardly remains trying to navigate these people he was forced into coexisting with, and also trying to become Hoshio for Sawako. The romance was also not fleshed out enough for me to care for it. Sawako, perhaps out of fear of abandonment, acted like Hoshio was her pet or her possession. There is hardly any character development as the story progresses, only strange interactions that leave you wondering if all of them are aliens themselves.
Overall it was a strange and boring watch. You can skip this unless you're watching simply for Fukushi Sota, which I'm guilty of.
