Amnesiac alien tries to fit in
This drama started out with an interesting premise. At first, it seemed like a quirky Sci-Fi romance type of story, or a slice of life from the perspective of an alien.
Unfortunately, this drama went on aimlessly without really anything happening. We are never made to understand what Hoshio wants or desires, where he wants to go and he kind of awkwardly remains trying to navigate these people he was forced into coexisting with, and also trying to become Hoshio for Sawako. The romance was also not fleshed out enough for me to care for it. Sawako, perhaps out of fear of abandonment, acted like Hoshio was her pet or her possession. There is hardly any character development as the story progresses, only strange interactions that leave you wondering if all of them are aliens themselves.
Overall it was a strange and boring watch. You can skip this unless you're watching simply for Fukushi Sota, which I'm guilty of.
