It's been a while since I binge-watch a jdrama. I love them for many reasons and the biggest one is the genre slice of life. Uchi no Musume wa, Kareshi ga Dekinai is a heart-warming series about mother and daughter.

Here is what I love about the series:

The cast. It's been a while since I’ve seen Kanno Miho work so I was super excited for this series. Plus I love Hamabe Minami, she was super cute in here. I love that she is not your typical cute innocent main lead. Instead she this fun, sarcastic, manga enthusiastic. I love the interaction between daughter and mom.

The age gap and the potential romance line for each character. It was exciting and I couldn't wait to see who ended up with who.

Screenwriter Kitagawa Eriko. I’ve seen a lot of her works and the one that I can watch on repeat is Orange Days. This felt like a story similar to Orange Days, in the sense that it focused on the relationship between the characters.

I was hoping to see more romance for mom and daughter. I think there was more that could have happened but I think that was for another story. This one is about the relationship between them as mom and daughter. I recommend watching it if you’re looking for a cute, fun and wholesome series.
