Really Good Cast, Disappointing Drama


Once in a while, I remember "Unicorn ni Notte" and I get goosebumps all over my body. How did they manage to mess up so badly? They assembled an incredible cast only to produce such a dull and uninspiring outcome!

The story lacks excitement and the characters are incredibly bland. The romance feels lifeless and, to be honest, puts me to sleep. The only redeeming factor is the character of Nishijima Hidetoshi, who showcased great chemistry with Nagano Mei. Their storyline was the highlight of the show, and the exploration of ageism was well-executed.
I am unsure of what they were attempting to achieve with Sugino Yosuke's character. Their romance felt clichéd and completely outdated for 2022. A case of: too stupid to get together. As for the supporting characters, they are hardly worth mentioning, except for Bando Ryota's role, which was... okay.

The company's struggle, which is the main focus, was not particularly engaging, to be honest. I found it difficult to empathize with the ambitions of the main characters. Moreover, their discussions about the company are so basic and simplistic that it's no wonder they are on the brink of bankruptcy, to be honest. (lmao)

Overall, unless you are an avid fan of Nishijima Hidetoshi, who, even when typecast, always delivers, "Unicorn ni Notte" is not worth your time.

PS: nobody come for me pls thx!
