Story
There's not a single good thing about this series except Nishigataki.
The plot is Western, with an actor who looks particularly Korean, as is typical of series in recent years... Even the song sounds Korean.

The series is boring, with no development or excitement, very banal. The romance isn't romantic, and the girl lacks any character, yet she wants to be a designer, which is the basis for creativity. Like all movies about aspiring fashion designers who suffer on their way to achieving their dream, this strange hype that started with "The Devil Wears Prada"—perhaps because the movie succeeded ( Maybe because massive investment of fashion giants?)—has forced us to endure this phenomenon for years. It's always the same and always boring. I don't understand why anyone would want to watch this.
I've never understood these series.
Is it because women like to buy clothes? Is it because some women think that designing clothes will bring them self-fulfillment? It's hard to understand.

The ending surprised me a lot, even though I skipped most of the scenes. Despite the main character lacking any personality, her strange choice to keep dating a gigolo instead of her best friend, who is reliable, kind-hearted, caring, and doesn't lie or live off her, still surprised me. Usually, Japanese series have wise choices in the end. Since this isn't a truly Japanese series, like many in recent years, they probably had a reason to abandon their usual values here too.

Acting/Cast
The casting of new young lead actresses in romantic series in recent years is a big mystery to me. Is it because of behind-the-scenes connections, agencies, influencers, ratings? It used to be important for her to look Japanese: the same hairstyle, relatively sharp features, small slanted eyes, and a pleasant voice. Today, the preference seems entirely different; it’s better for her to be less beautiful with minimal acting talent, expression, and a high-pitched, childish, or whiny voice.
