CLICHÉ CONTRACT RELATIONSHIP TO REAL RELATIONSHIP DRAMA

There are times I enjoy very cliché plots, especially if it’s made very well. Although this is not the best of this type of story I have watched, I can say that it has its good parts.

STORY:
Two people enter a contract relationship for some reason and then realize that they love each other. The plot is actually simple but somehow there are confusing parts. One is the male lead, I don’t think his reason for getting married is as strange as it’s portrayed. I do get his side but what I do not like is how naïve his character is and it’s a little frustrating. Also, there’s too much misunderstandings that the flow of the story seems to focus more on conflicts.

The ending is not my favorite, I feel like it could ended better. Up until the end there’s still lack of communication. It could have been simple and a cute moment but it wasn’t. Also, I feel like the main leads lacked in chemistry which is disappointing because at first I think they have a bit and expected a build-up throughout the story.

ACTING/CAST:
The actors did well (main and supporting), I think that they’ve embodied there character. The male lead being an introvert, very straight to the point person, very naïve (frustrating) who wanted to be married as a camouflage (so he can continue loving someone he cannot love). The female lead who is a warm hearted woman and very passionate in her career.

In terms of supporting characters, I liked that they have a story outside the plot, but for a 10 episode drama I think that some of these story wasn’t executed properly instead they become a distraction. A character I like though is the sister-in-law. I like her at first and then I didn’t and when I got to know her side I understand. I feel like her story and choices would give a lesson to the viewers that sometimes it takes more than love to be somewhere you want in life.

REWATCH VALUE:
The drama has some cute moments and I think that it’s worth a watch. I am glad I watched it and I do recommend it but I don’t think I would rewatch.

amor e outros amores

foi um processo lento para que ambos percebessem o que estavam sentindo, mas isso é porque temos a idéia de que tudo tem que acontecer o mais rápido possível, que se não acontecer de tal maneira, não existe outra alternativa. algumas pessoas desistem rápido demais, cansam antes de entender os próprios sentimentos. particularmente gostei do desenvolvimento. momose passou boa parte acreditando que só tinha um único amor em sua vida, então tudo era uma experiência nova, fiquei feliz pela akiha ter sido compreensiva e ter acolhido os sentimentos dele, e até posso ver algumas pessoas entendendo isso como um ato egoísta, mas não, no amor é assim, não existe padrão, não existe casamento perfeito, não existe ordem correta a se seguir.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE CLICHE' DRAMA

Please tell me if it is only I who noticed that there is no wedding ceremony on this drama when the story is all about marriage lol. I was wondering if in Japan when they want to marry someone they just have to fill out the contract and stamp on it and there ! They are husband and wife !

Thank fully when I watched it, I was really missing this kind of Cliche' story of a drama and I have chosen to watch a right drama on a right time ! You know just to share I was really planning to watch this one for previous years ago I Knew it would be something that has a predictable story from that time but because I was noticing Kentaro I really want to watch it.
first I like that Kentaro Sakaguchi that is my crush playing the lead like this is the first every drama of him that I watched, I don't usually watch Japaneses Dramas only Korean Dramas and going to Japanese drama like this feels really new to me, Like I found their language cute also, and their gestures, I also learned some of their traditions and daily lives and every thing was really cute !
i watched it for only 2 days and watching like that again is really amazing for me because it means I am really entertained and that the drama is really good ! because you know for someone who is a young adult employed and is busy every day , binge watching is really hard unlike during college and high school days where you can watch a 16 episode drama in one day ! --- so in short this one is good !
Getting Married to keep loving your Sister-in-law is really absurd , but I did not really mind about that because Kentaro is so cutie HAHA lol
I hate Momose san at first because He is so mean to Okado and I also hate that Okado is so weak hearted towards Momose but inspite of it , those moments really made my heart flutter !! like I know how that feels
I hate the influencer who looks like the in law of Momose-san like she is so flirt !
my favorite parts are when Momose asked Okado to wake him up every morning because he is not a morning person, also when Momose found out that Okado has already have enough money to pay her debt and be free from the fake marriage and how Okado kissed Momose .. you know its really funny that Momose san is so innocent that he did not even know that Okado loved him even when she kissed him already those were really cute
I like also the part when Momose san brags Okado on the later part to his subbordinates and office mates of Okado's designs , and on the last part knowing that the husband of Okados idol designer is Momose's Boss ! HAHAHA that was really surprisingly funny.
I thought in my self that Oh Japanese dramas are like this .. and I cannot get over.I just love the progression of their love story , I just love every moments they have specially when Momose used the cat to call Okado to his house , I just can;t contain it ! and now I missed them so much . I am plannin g to rewatch this again next time !

There is no really lesson in this drama but to you know be brave to confess your feelings, also learn to wait , learn to not give up on the person you love for maybe who knows they will change in the way you wanted them to , just don't leave them.
I am glad I watched this drama and before I forgot to mention, I love the OST so so much , like the song has been on my playlist until now ! because of this drama I can't get away from Japanese Dramas now ..
definitely recommended one for my 5 years of being addict on Dramas. i might say I am a pro , hHAHA lol Just kidding !

"Conforme você vai ficando mais velho, você se torna avesso ao risco"

De todos os doramas japoneses que já assisti com essa temática (casamento de contrato/fachada, etc), esse foi um dos que tiveram um motivo mais crível para os dois se casarem (ele tinha uma amor muito proibido e ela precisava de dinheiro). Arrisco a dizer que a Okada, a principal, foi uma das mais sensatas que já assisti ao reconhecer no começo que isso é uma ideia maluca, por isso gostei dela.

O dorama em si tem muitos pontos bons, a família do principal, o principal, o relacionamento da cunhada do principal com o irmão dele, etc. Mas acontece que o dorama vai ficando maçante com tantos mal entendidos e falta de comunicação. Para ter uma ideia, demorei mais de uma mês pra assistir o último episódio por conta disso. Fora isso, a história é boa e rapidinha, se não fosse toda essa enrolação seria um dorama bom e levinho pra assistir depois daqueles pesados que te deixa chorando dias.

Started out great, ended okay

I am a huge fan of the whole fake-marriage-to-lovers trope, so I decided to give this a try and I'm glad I did.

The show started out great, and I had many moments where I really loved the plot and the characters. I liked Okado's unconventional thoughts on marriage and sympathized a lot with Momose's unrequited love. Momose was sometimes unintentionally funny, and I enjoyed their dynamic.

However, I feel like Okado fell in love with Momose way too quickly. By episode three, she already realized she liked him. This gave us seven hour-long episodes of her trying to deny her feelings or trying to find ways to get Momose to love her back. Even so, I still enjoyed the show a lot and was very willing to continue to watch.

There were a few cringey moments, especially when Okado misinterpreted Momose's actions or words and went full-steam ahead with her perception, but it wasn't too bad overall. However, episode seven and eight had too much filler. While I can understand the reasons the characters are doing what they're doing, I honestly found myself just speeding up to get to the point the plot would move forward.

I rarely say that a show should have been shorter, but the pacing of this show was so strange. With the current plot, the show would have worked better with eight hour-long episodes instead. Or, they could have paced it better to fit the ten episodes without filler.

Also, I'm not sure I completely understand the conflict in episode 10. One thing that I get frustrated with during shows about is the lack of communication. They tell their friends the exact reason they're mad, but they expect their partner to magically read their minds? While lack of communication was a recurring trope in this show, it got worse as the show went on. Okado got mad at Momose for assuming things (which he shouldn't have done) but then she herself refused to communicate her expectations to him. It was frustrating to watch at times. However! I do think some of the things I didn't super understand regarding Okado was because they were reflective of Japanese society and culture, neither of which I am a part of, so it makes sense that I don't understand where she's coming from. Watching while keeping that in mind made the show more enjoyable for me.

One small detail I actually really liked - the title card of the last episode changed to fit the current situation. I was actually hoping it would change every episode to reflect their situation, so when I saw that it did actually change in the last one, it was really cool to see.

I am excited to see that there is a spin-off with Makihara!! I felt that Okado really took advantage of him and unfairly brushed off his feelings. He really got the short end of the stick so I am excited to see how his story pans out.

Anyway, although the pacing could have been better, I still enjoyed this show.
