Ridiculous acting & Obnoxious writing
I have only watched 2 episodes of this j-drama and I couldn't keep watching anymore due to a few reasons. I know it may not look very fair to judge this solely on the first two episodes, but if they were that bad, then how worse could the remaining be?
The main reason I dropped 'My little Lover' is because of the artificial acting-dialogue, that to me, it appeared like an introduction to a porn movie. The opening of the series was decent and promising, and while the female lead was still a normal sized human, everything seemed to be nice and cool. The other characters looked interesting and decent as well.
But by the opening of the 2nd episode, things started to look REALLY REALLY BAD for the series.
I said this on another review when it comes to writing sci-fi; It's very important that the characters behave realistically based on the situation, even if the situation itself seems to be impossible in a real setting (thus why it is a sci-fi).
However, when Chiyomi became a small sized human, her behavior and reaction towards it was IRRATIONAL. She never seemed to care that much that something completely out of the ordinary happened to her. She never showed worry, anxiety, fear, thoughtfulness about her situation. When she was immediately brought into Minami's room, she was just drooling over him and having orgasming fantasies about how she lives in the same room with him, completely ignoring that she is fricking 15 cm tall! At times, you could see her jumping to places whereas it would be impossible based on her size. We don't even know if she is actually good at climbing.
From then on, I decided that the series wouldn't really improve anything so I dropped it.
Nevertheless, the opening and ending themes were very good and the SFX work was done pretty well despite some inaccuracies in the physics.
It really is such a shame that people gave this a 10/10 because they are simply hardcore weebs. The story had potential, but it was ruined by the poor character writing and acting.
Don't attempt to watch this if you are a really busy person...
