Watashitachi wa Douka Shiteiru aka 'Cursed in Love' is a drama based on the manga by the same name. It tells a story about a girl named Nao who enters Kogetsuan, a traditional Japanese confectionery shop under a fake identity in order to investigate her mother's death and to prove her innocence.

Honestly, I was quite reluctant to give this drama a chance as I'm generally not big on J-dramas. Plus, I was quite unsure as to how the story would pan out and whether it would really be worth my time. But I finally gave in and once I started watching, I just couldn't stop. This drama was so addictive that I watched 7 episodes in one sitting, which was a first for me. Furthermore, what I especially like about this drama was the fact that there is a little bit of everything - romance, murder mystery, strong female lead, interesting side characters and an evil matron. On some levels, this drama was like a typical soap opera but what made it truly stand out was the way it was executed. The plot, the cast, their chemistry and the overall pace of this drama was just perfect. Plus, if you are into kimonos and Japanese cuisine, you'll like this show even more. Kudos to the entire cast, crew and writers of 'Cursed in Love' for creating such an amazing drama.

Finally, this drama is probably one of the BEST Japanese dramas out there and I can definitely see myself re-watching it again sometime in the future. And to those who are contemplating whether to watch or not, do check it out. I'm sure you won't regret it.
