I loved this movie. I watched it because I knew the main actress Maki Yoko by face and I follow Furukawa Yuki and Kamiki Ryunosuke. I knew about the movie when it was in production but quite honestly had no idea what it was even about when I pressed play. I was pleasantly surprised by the storyline and had such a good time watching it. It's similar to the Disney move Inside Out. Her inner emotions battle it out and decide what she's supposed to do next. I like how awkward and relatable her character is and how realistic the reactions are with someone who is as awkward as she is in romantic situations.

I laughed a lot at this movie, I also had a lot of uncomfortable moments where I paused and didn't want to see what was going to happen next because I knew it was going to hurt. I didn't cry but I can say that when movies/ dramas make me pause a lot, it usually means I'm far too into the show and am emotionally invested.

Would I re-watch this? of course! I watched this without subs as soon as it hit the internet so I plan to re-watch when it's subbed and maybe more times after that because I enjoyed it so much.

The casting was perfect as far as I'm concerned. Furukawa Yuki was stunning as always with his mellow and somewhat uncaring character. Maki Yoko played the awkward turtle role very well. All the actors playing her inner thoughts or emotions had great chemistry.

I voted music rather low because I don't really remember the tracks that well so I guess they didn't leave any sort of impression on me, but I do remember that the mood of the scenes was always accurate.

Overall I recommend this movie to anybody who has ever experienced an awkward love confession or just being awkward around your crush.

The story for this special is very simple, it is about a security guard who is bad at following instructions from head quarters, who is then sent to the first responder section of the company where he answers distress calls. He also struggles with this task as well by telling the victims "it's going to be ok, it's going to be ok" constantly, which is a taboo in their office. One day he makes a huge mistake on the job and is sent home. On his day off, he encounters a suspicious character lurking around the premises of a building that his brothers visited to see an idol group perform.

Nothing about this story is really super amazing, however, you do sometimes want to hide your head under the cover because you know something bad is going to happen or you just aren't ready for the impact that is coming up next.

Nakajima Kento really sold this one to me, his peppy and cheerful yet internally weak character makes him relatable and easy to get attached to. This to me is by far Kento's best drama role that I've seen him play so far. I highly recommend that everyone give this special a try because it's quite good. I won't say that it will stick with you for a life time, but it's like a thrilling movie that's easy to turn on and watch.

There wasn't a lot of music on here except for the ending theme, which is sung by Kento's group Sexy Zone and that song was quite lovely.

I'd definitely re-watch this because it's short and Kento's character is so lovable that you can't help but want to cheer him on just hoping that he'll succeed.

I decided to do a review of this drama because I saw people's reactions to it, I'm just so confused by many people's reactions to this drama. I'm not saying this drama has the freshest and most unpredictable plot that keeps you on the edge of you seat every episode but I feel like people missed the point that this was intended to be a very little hearted and happy go lucky type of drama. There are many humorous parts to this drama and also some touching parts. For me this drama was so addicting, it's something I can watch easily and not get tired of. I started to re-watch it recently and remembered how much I loved it. This is all just my opinion but this drama should be on everyone's to try list at least because it's quite fun and relatable, nothing drags and it's not repetitive. It made me feel warm inside watching this and made me giggle because i feel like there is a little bit of Akiyama-sensei in all of us, especially us drama watchers.

The storyline is has good timing, I never felt like anything was particularly rushed or shoved into the story last minute. I thought the cast's chemistry was there an everything looked really natural. As for Teppei and Alisa, their love story is cute, corky, and very mother/son feeling at times but I feel like that's how some relationships going when people have these huge age gaps so I just figured when I watched it the first time that, that was what the director was going for and it made sense to me.

I do encourage people to at least give this drama a chance, you won't regret it!
