It's a light and enjoyable watch
Kana, who is stressed because of clueless Masa, is my favorite.Stories like this may not be anything new, but I feel like I could enjoy this drama just fine. The comedic acting from some of the characters also makes the drama entertaining.
I personally like Sawa's character, not because she's tsundere, but because sometimes I struggle to express myself too.
I was slightly bothered when Kana said she wanted to marry Masa. However, I understand that a daughter's first love is her father (as long as the father isn't trash). Masa is a likable character.
In other words, watch this drama only if you're looking for something light and entertaining. Don't overthink it, just enjoy it.

Completely Unexpected
This show was absolutely what the synopsis said it was.... However, it was also the complete opposite! From episode one, I did not expect this story to be so exciting. I read the synopsis, saw it had 28 episodes and completely judged a "book" by its cover!The cast really sold this story well. From the beginning, I only knew about 3-4 actors/actresses throughout the entire show; however, as I continued watching it truly was the cast of wonderful actors and actresses that made this story so fantastic. I laughed, cried, got angry (i've never disliked a character so fast lol), was scared, and even held my breath in some spots. Each episode was a surprise. The story seemed to move pretty quickly, though it didn't feel like there was any cliffhanger moment or any questions left unanswered.
This story is great for a binge day or if you're just starting out watching Japanese dramas, since it has a little bit of every genre in one story. I do wish they had more than 28 episodes, honestly; I would really like to see more of Kanaka, Masa, and everyone! This show is the definition of "dont judge a book by its cover"... I hope you give it a chance!
