Quirky but Not Memorable
I randomly picked this drama up once I saw that Honoka was apart of the cast. It was interesting to see her expand from her roles in Itazura na Kiss and Nee Sensei, Shiranai no (which are the only two dramas I've seen with her). Peanut Butter Sandwhich is pretty quirky and unusual but the premise was interesting. Sadly, this drama fell flat for it. It was not horrible at it but it was very forgettable. If you just want to watch something different and quick I'd say go for it but it left me feeling very meh.
PLOT/CHARACTERS:
The plot follows five different sets of characters. The first four are the subjects that the PBB crew are assigned to. Each plot line is distinct in it's own way but I found the dynamic of the PBB crew the most interesting. This isn't a spoiler but I thought that Honoka's character Tsubaki was going to pair up with her coworker Kobayashi. They never did, which is not a spoiler since the actual writing never came right out and said it. I think this is a case of "reading too much into the chemistry between characters" but sometimes that happens. As for the other plot lines I found them okay? All of them are searching for love; one looks for it in a man that isn't her long time boyfriend; one tries to find it in a man who has a girlfriend; another desperately clings to anyone yet is always let down; and finally the last tries to pretend like she is someone she's not. All plot lines had a somewhat equal screen time but it's possible that others liked one more than the others.
ACTING:
Acting was okay! I thought most of the love interests were more natural in the acting though. Most of the characters matched the quirky nature of the drama but the most believable was the actress who plays Miharu. She played her character the best and so did the actor who played her boyfriend/secret lover.
OST/CINEMATOGRAPHY:
I don't remember anything special about the OST but the camera work and visuals were really good. If I had to pick my favorite part it would be the production that went into everything. All the set design and shots brought it to life.
Anyways, this was an okay drama. I don't regret watching it because it was a good way to kill time but I'm not sure anything about it will stay with me.
