Kono Otoko wa Jinsei Saidai no Ayamachidesu (2020)

The story is refreshing somehow. It starts with Sato Yui depressed over the death of her dog chocolate. At the end president amagi helps her get over chocolate's death. This alone makes the series a good wrap.

It has its own witty moments and displays a different kind of setting, entertaining nonetheless.

Although there is borderline stalking in the series, it somehow works out with the comedy, which is capable of damaging the whole lighthearted part.

Music isn't that great or memorable at all except for the tacky opening song I'm slave for you by reiji. Background music however effectively blends with the scene and brings out the acting of actors on another level.

Overall there is no drag in the story. I find other characters in the story equally lovable if not more. Especially Natori san, he displays cool antics and really deserves the title of president's secretry.

I'm probably overrating it because I laughed a lot wathcing it. It's a hit or miss really depending on what kind of mood are you in, but in general if you can ignore the borderline criminal activities, it's worth a try.

I have not read the manga and this drama is the first experience I have with the story. Clearly, this story is not for everyone since it dives into a story that would be dangerous and wrong if it was in the real world. With that said, I thought this was very funny and I enjoyed every episode. That does NOT that mean that I support stalking people or harassing them after they were clear that they do not want anything to do with you. If you think that the subject matter is not a problem for you to enjoy a drama, then I would definitely recommend.

I really enjoyed the comedy and acting. The main leads were great at what they did and the opening theme was beautiful. I definitely would say that I would rewatch later on since it is a very short 5 hr drama.

This started as such a fun drama, it felt like watching an anime in real life, with the silliness of his masochistic tendencies. I liked her strength, and they had okay chemistry, nothing amazing but there were at least a little? Episode after episode I kept waiting for an advancement in their relationship but got nothing. He turned into a complete and utter, creepy stalker and she sort of floated, like instead of falling in love she just accepted the harassment. It's a shame, what could've been a funny, quirky show about a secret sadist and a masochist turned into a show about, it's okay to stalk someone if we categorise it as romance.

This drama is hilarious! I love it! I found myself laughing out loud while watching. It does quirky, weird, freaky, you name it, but it’s so much fun to watch. The plot is quite uncommon, but I love how the writer put the mental illness to become something acceptable aside the craziness of the male lead, even the female lead sometimes felt sympathy for him.
I don’t feel bored at all and feeling excited to watch the whole episodes.

The acting of Hayami and Matsui is pretty good. As their characters is as boss and employee, so in my opinion there’s no need for character development since the plot just wants to show how madness the boss in chasing the girl. And that’s what makes this drama so funny and enjoyable to watch.

The romance is light, insane, unique, funny, no intrigues, no tons of tears, and the ending is acceptable. This drama cracks me up with lots of jokes and the insanity of male lead.
I will definitely watch again!

Don’t use your logic while watching this drama, just “enjoy the ride” and have a good laugh!

A satire about stalking

I cracked up laughing and I could tell the politically correct part of my brain was trying to get offended but the acting is comedy so as in all good comedy taboo subjects can be lampooned.

The Fl has some awesome, nifty martial arts moves and is constantly flooring her boss.
The ML is suitably in awe and finds everything she does is wonderful and fuels his adoration more.
The two second lead actors are okay too not too nasty and adding to the plotline.
If you can embrace the comedy and want a laugh I recommend this for the 'non precious' audience who don't mind when borders are crossed in aid of entertainment.

Not something that interesting

The story is kinda fresh and usual. It’s a sensitive topic so I’m not gonna cast my opinion on that, but being slaves is kinda prevalent in Jdramas. I have watched kimi wa petto before and this was suggested as a similar drama.

Story:
Very bland and shallow. The lead’s relationship does not even progress and they just move around the whole time and it’s unrealistic and absurd mostly.

Acting:
The ML should be given a trophy for bad acting. You start to see him as a slave but the next day he’s just a hopeless romantic. He is literally something. The FL, on the other hand, is immature and just likes to hit the ML and that’s it? the drama is finished

Overall, a very silly drama. If you have spare time to pass, watch it.

Honestly a funny Yandere type of show!

So i was actually reading the first 2 chapters of the manga and was scrolling through the comments on the pirate site to realise that there was a jdrama version. i didnt want to wait for new chapters to come out for weeks so i decided to watch this in its jdrama format instead.

Omg guys this was particularly wack and just hilarious. We just see the boss appearing in stupid random places in order to stalk the girl whereever she goes. From stalking her through a car roof top including a hotel window and sliding his ass down a stair rail, hes just a legit psycho spider man lol. DID i mention he also photobombs the girls travel pics in the end? The actor who does him, did a great job at playing the role very well! I do wish the ending wasnt rushed cause i just was so addicted man!

Seriously folks, if you need a legit laugh, im proud to say this since so far, i have mostly seen bad manga to live action adaptions, is one of the decent ones to definately check out!!!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Manga comedy lovers will cherish it!

This drama is so refreshing and satisfying. I have to say you gotta keep your "logical" and "worldly practical" ideologies aside. We are watching an adaption of manga, not a webtoon! And this is Jdrama not a sob story of drama. No offense!

Acting- Perfect casting by the directors! There is something so good about adults acting like manga characters XD LOVE it! The way Amagi gets beaten down by Sato is perfect. I kept rewinding those scenes! The guy is incorrigible.
Sae and Aida were amazing and hilariously just messy characters.

The whole drama is a mess! In a lemonade in a hot scorching sun way. Just amazing.

The song- especially the opening song is so perfectly shot and sung. It shows that both of them are from different worlds yet this couple comes together in a weird fetish way.

My only complain is that it is too short! Wish it was longer. Oh well, gotta rewatch this to fill my heart.

As another review said, the first episode had me giggling. To see someone mourning the loss of their pet and then kicking their CEO is funny. The first episode was refreshing until he forced her to accept him as her slave. If you're forcing someone to become a master, they're not a master at all. That is the point that causes the downfall of this entire show.

It's not funny that he waited outside her house for hours. It's not funny that he kept 100 pictures of her in his wallet. It's not funny to pretend to be dead and it definitely isn't funny to follow someone around the world without telling them because you want to 'find somewhere to be alone where no one knows you.' None of that is funny, but it is excellent grounds for a restraining order.

The only redeeming features to this show were that the female lead could act well, as could the second male lead. I stand by my thoughts that she should have gone to America with the thoughtful heart surgeon instead of letting that creep anywhere near her.

Unexpectedly sweet, cute and fun!

My my, I wasn't expecting anything from this Jdrama. It was more a last-minute decision to watch it and boy, I almost missed a GEM.

I thought this drama would be about SM or kin stuff and I'll have to drop it and never come back, but what I discovered instead was well balanced humor, the creepiest yet cutest male lead and the craziest, more honest female lead ever!


Mark my word: this isn't a show you'll ever see elsewhere. It's unique, quirky, fun to watch, although the ending might seem lackluster for some (for myself too, but only because I'm greedy and wanted more haha).

It's a light romance comedy, and it does the job in a wonderful and efficient manner, and there isn't better to cheer you up than these types of dramas.

If you want a light drama, you are not wrong with this one!

I was just randomly looking for something to watch and found this one. I was looking for light drama that is why I am satisfied with it! I had so much laugh. I just want a more specific ending, nevertheless, there were enough clues to guess what will happen to them.

I love the strong female lead. I love the male lead, way back. They have the chemistry!

All in all, it was a fun story with just enough conflict. You have to be open-minded in watching this one. There isn't any sexual contents but this is something that is not normal in today's society.

I enjoyed watching it!

A more comical take on a SM relationship

This is a really funny series!
So this was basically a more comical take on an SM relationship if anything.

But, let's not overlook there is stalking and harassment here, and even after she clearly expressed she didn't want anything to do with him. Which is indeed not okay in real life. This would be my only complaint and the reason why I would remove 1 star. although it does seem she does make sure on how clearly wrong his actions are here.
But in the end, he still keeps on following her, and she just kind of seems to have accepted it although she doesn't seem too happy either with it, which kinda makes me a bit sad here.

Otherwise looking apart from that, only looking at it as an entertainment show, then it somehow works out with the comedy, without damaging the otherwise lighthearted scenes there also is in this series.

But I still come to somehow like to imagine just a bit, of what could have been of these two, if they had turned out to grow into a more healthy relation together, in a world where he somehow could actually pursue her and without being a creep and stalking her, while still keeping their sadistic and masochistic tendencies? as this storyline is incredibly interesting and their characters are mostly pretty great together, I think.

Although I do at the same time feel quite happy with the real ending of how it turned out with this series. I would definitely recommend it as an entertainment drama to watch.
