This was a great drama to watch! Granted, the story wasn't exactly unique. Many Japanese dramas revolve around the idea that many people portray themselves as something they aren't, but I think that its an idea that resonates with so many people, which allows these dramas to be successful. I liked the fact that the female lead was portrayed as this perfect, delicate little flower, but in reality she could kick butt harder than any guy. The whole play on gender stereotyping was refreshing and amusing at the same time. The characters were like caricatures of actual people, which made it all the more fun to watch. There was plenty of comedy and just enough seriousness to bring it all into balance, and I loved that about this drama. Overall, it was a pretty solid drama, and I think if you're into Shoju manga, or into slapstick comedy and caricatures with just enough realism to leave you with a message, this is definitely going to be something you'll enjoy watching.
