I didn't realize this was a mini-series when I first started it, but once I realized I was a bit skeptical that with only ten twenty-two or so minute episodes, I wouldn't be able to grow that much of an attachment to the characters and stories. Most ten-episode J-Dramas are three times that length after all. Fortunately, that wasn't the case.

I loved every episode of this show, and Himari and Shin's relationship was actually so freaking adorable that I don't even know how to express how much I loved them. I don't know quite how to describe it, but I think this show feels like a warm hug. I wasn't expecting such a comforting drama, but that's what I found. And honestly, I'm not sure it can be classified as a drama, because there isn't much drama in it. Even with the lack of dramatic conflict, I was never bored, the story didn't need petty villains, absurd plot twists, or shockbait to be good, and I loved that.

Himari and Shin were the highlight of the show of course. I loved seeing the steady progression of their relationship from two people married for convenience, to a couple that really love and care for each other. There aren't any second leads to drive them apart or miscommunication to drive us insane, just two loveable weirdo's falling for each other. And once they really are together, they have a shockingly healthy relationship, which isn't always common in dramaland. Himari having to learn to care not only about others, but also for herself, and Shin reinforcing that was an absolute delight to watch.

And while I loved them as a couple, both of their individual characters were interesting in their own rights too. I was glad that Shin wasn't the stoic emotionless male lead, and that Himari wasn't your typical naive female lead, it was a breath of fresh air.
There are a few side characters too, which aid to the plot when necessary, but didn't have much story on their own, I didn't mind that though, it gave us more time with the leads.

Though I think that the short length of the drama overall worked, there were a couple of plot points I think could have been fleshed out a little better if we had been given one or two more episodes. And that's pretty much my only real gripe with the whole thing.

Marry Me! was such a simple drama overall, and was an incredibly comforting watch. I had a stupid smile on my face for pretty much the whole show, which by the way, I finished in like one sitting. I'll probably be back for a rewatch too.
