It is my first drama review so don't be too harsh on me.

Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru (My Dress-up Darling) is an adaptation of the very warmly received and well-reviewed manga by Shinichi Fukuda.

Story: 7/10
The story follows two highschool students, Gojou Wakana, a young adept of Hina doll making, and his classmate, Marin Kitagawa, a popular gyaru whose secret hobby is cosplay. Their fates meet by accident when Marin discovers what Gojou really does outside of school. Then, she introduces him to the world of cosplay.
The plot in the first five episodes does not differ so much from what we have already seen in anime. The scenes are well adapted, and also the settings fit well. Unfortunately, in the last five episodes we have the impression that the action is too rushed and we cannot feel a greater bond between the characters. The drama would need a few more episodes. In this case my rating couldn't be higher.

Acting/Cast: 7/10
By live-action drama standards, the acting is good. Both the main characters and the side characters fulfilled their tasks.
The styling and outfits also deserve great praise. These did not differ in any way from the original.

Music: 8/10
There's really nothing to complain about in this category. The music matched the appropriate scenes and was very nice to listen to. The opening and ending theme songs were also great.

Rewatch value: 5/10
I'm not really the type of person who rewatches drama, but there were some interesting scenes (especially with cosplay) that would make it worth returning to the series.

Lastly, it was a good adaptation of manga, although not at the level of anime. Some things were good and some of them were used unnecessarily. Overall, I have to admit that I enjoyed this drama.

Overall score: 7/10
