Missed potential and uncomfortable comedy in a workplace romance.
Warning: spoilers ahead!
Content & trigger warnings before watching the show: SA, Cheating, Mean Tsundere Behavior
This exes-to-lovers trope had potential, but it lacked creativity and romanticism. Fuyu’s character starts off stone cold and unreasonable, but I tried to overlook it, understanding people cope with heartbreak differently. She apologizes for her actions by episode 5, so for those wondering, she does make amends.
Fuyu’s character swings between acceptable and illogical behavior, especially since she’s a tsundere who’s mean without considering the other party’s feelings. If you don’t like this type of character, this show might not be for you. While the chemistry between the leads wasn’t as spark-filled as I prefer, their cozy dynamic worked for a more comfortable vibe.
Some emotional scenes could have been better with stronger acting. I did enjoy the contrast between Fuyu’s workaholic nature and Itsuki’s motherly, hands-on vibe, and their parenting dynamic with Tsuki was adorable.
The show also explored workplace struggles for women, like menstruation, having kids, and having to use "female charm" for career gain. The working mother and stay-at-home father dynamic was refreshing, and Fuyu’s character felt grounded in her dedication to work, but was also slightly problematic considering that if the genders were reversed, we would all despise the man for being such a red flag.
However, the show had major issues: 1) Sexual harassment masked as humor, which was uncomfortable and unnecessary. 2) The romanticization of cheating. 3) The lack of background on Fuyu and Itsuki’s past relationship made it hard to root for them. 4) Fuyu's unsure feelings or uncleared feelings toward her husband. How could she say she's a lesbian yet proceed to say she loved her husband without clarifying what kind of love it was? Sure we can maybe read between the lines but this kind of misrepresents lesbians and feels counter intuitive.
Despite these issues, the show was a decent watch, especially with its unique game development plot. However, the rushed ending and unresolved plot points (like Ro Asami’s feelings for Fuyu) left me confused.
