Who watches Japanese dramas for common sense anyway.

This goes without saying, laughed my heart out at almost everything in this drama. One thing about Japanese dramas is that their lack common sense is actually a gift that keeps rewarding you. The characters are so unpredictable, and you never actually know what it is about these characters that makes you finish the whole show but believe you me before you know it the show is done. Same goes for this series.
A yakuza boss and college student, a pretty uncommon pair yet nothing is impossible in jdramas.
Now this is going to be my take on the Good, the Bad and the absolute bonkers part of this 10-episode drama.
The Bad:
Well to be honest, it would be the lack of proper storyline. I mean this in the sense that I wanted more, this storyline had mad potential, if they had decided to properly dive into their relationship as a whole and not just their intimacy, it would have been great. I wanted to see her fitting in to each other's lives like, the story would have been even more compelling. There would have been more depth to their characters. And that was also another bad, these characters were too 2 dimensional, yes there was some conflict within the series, but they don't really give these characters depth. I f they had gave more character to the side characters as well this would literally be a masterpiece because the idea is good, it definitely had the potential to make me watch the best Wattpad adaptation out there, but it fell a bit short to make me feel for the characters.

Now The Good:
As a person who watches Japanese dramas out of pure intrigue, I can say this was pleasantly intriguing. If you someone who is an absolute sucker for skin ship, then this will definitely feel like a reward, and hey it's not perfect but at least you don't have to wait until episode 8 for them to kiss and act like nothing happened in episode 9.
I mean if you just want to watch a series where the couple gets it on the first episode then be my guest. overall, there is not much I can say in this Category.

now the long awaited Bonkers:
As someone who lives for the absolutely bonkers side of jdramas, I can admit that this was my favorite part.
And as they usually do, they stuck to the main themes of a Japanese manga adaptations.
The "I love you " at first site. A common sight to behold in jdramas, but at least this girl did "deeply" think about, though it only lasted for just about an episode.
The other jdrama trademark has to be the nonexplainable chemistry. Viewers are never sure why the leads love each other so much but yet there they were, willing to die for each other, yet they met 3 episodes ago and for all those who are not aware, these episodes are 25 minutes long at best. So, it's safe to say in an hr. they would have passionately slept with each other a couple times.
But I literally live for these weird jdrama troupes because the leads are just as impatient as we are, so they get the job done fast.
There are more crazy things in store for you but please if you not ready to cringe yourself out at little, then I don't recommend.

end note:
This series was funny, weird, and kind of hot but in a very absurd way.
