I cried a little when I finished the first episode. I liked Aihara (FL). She was such a cutie in Kimi ni Todoke and Kore wa Keihi de Ochimasen. Overall I liked the side characters, even her colleagues although Japanese dramas tend to exaggerate the positivity of a well-managed team at a salaryman's workplace. But it's fiction so we accept it.
And then came the end of episode 8.
*cringes**eyerolls**internal screaming*
I told myself to get over it because I only have 1 more episode. Can't be that bad. I can do this.
I understand why people gave it a 10 but I do think the FL is taking advantage of the ML. The tone was set to be fatherly, at least to me. He had more chemistry with his ex-MR colleague than FL. As someone who is lazy and doesn't do chores well, I am Aihara and I do think that men who are good at cooking, ironing, and sewing are a sexy bunch of MFs but I do think her decision is selfish, childish, and desperate.
I am also against friends that think they're wise. Not everything your friend says is the truth and can apply to your decisions in life.
There are so many things to discover but *sighs* whatever. As a writer, this annoys me the most. When you knew you saw a gem but the cutter stopped short or miscalculated.
Finished episode 9 while checking my Insta and skimming. Ah, but the cute trainee?
