Slow, sweet and soft romance

This might be unpopular opinion but I like this drama. It can be too slow but their frustrating mutual pinning from start to end is what made my Thursday excited every week lol I will not say it’s a good drama but it’s my favorite especially because of the casting if you are a kamen rider fan like me it’s very interesting to see this pairing together in a romantic drama.

Coming from a smutty manga, this drama went the opposite way of its source material. By going opposite, I didn’t just mean it’s being innocent romance but also the point of view. In the manga, their romance starts with mostly point of view from Yanase who was broken and insecure while Kaneda being the love interest who worship his existence and that pressure more on Yanase even more while in the drama their story is mostly told from kaneda so Yanase’s being seen as the cool and godly senpai most of the time. It’s actually quite fun to compare the different view between the source material and the drama.

Overall, this is the typical Jdrama romcom, not much to think or analyze about and I suggest viewers not to overanalyze it and expect things to be deep. I saw too many people try to make logical debate on the plot, I would say that’s not how you enjoy a simple story it will only ruin your viewing experience. Just sit back and enjoy the chaotic romance between two co-workers.

Oh the ending song and the ending sequence was so good by the way! I never skipped.
