An Incurable Case of Love

I haven't got to the the end of this yet but I've already lost interest as I find that however well acted it's just an unlikely story. The two main characters would just never get together. They are so unsuited to each other. Why would such a skilled and complex man involve himself with a giggly immature schoolgirl as the lead actress seems to portray the character in the same way as an adult as she does in the first scene where we meet her when she's a school kid. She's too subservient and has nothing to show why anyone would want to date her. Yes the male lead has a reason to be the way he is but this woman isn't mature enough to handle him. Taking him bowling and to an amusement park where he looks like he really doesn't want to be there. Really? Disappointing and irritating. A lot of the K dramas I've seen have been so much better.

It was good but not great MONE KAMISHIRAISHI carried it with the help of a good supporting cast the main man was a stiff had nothing to offer at all to the series as far as acting goes, it moves along well with Mone being completely adorable and cute but after 7 episodes i was ready for it to be over as it kinda ran out of gas.

This is a light romantic comedy with some bits of drama thrown in. I really enjoyed watching the actors, I liked watching Takero Satoh since his Kenshin days, but now having seen Mone Kamishiraishi just fell in love with her. I have since watched several of her other earlier movies such as Lady Maiko and recent Startup Girls. Many of the episodes are fairly lightweight and makes for an enjoyable watch, nothing shocking or overly dramatic but just enough to make each an pleasant time. While the earlier episodes had a bit more medical tech situations, and of interest that this taking place in a cardiac ward - I am very familiar as I have been a patient a few times and have undergone several similar operations to make some of the situations interesting to me. Some of the later episodes focused more on the love and relationships and less on medical situations. A few of the situations also were a bit cliche, but that happens in many of these types of series and its perfectly fine with me. As a spoiler alert there were no sudden or unexpected deaths or diseases. While this series focused mainly on the doctor and nurse, there were other relationships that would have been nice to see develop further. But I have since learned there is a sequel to this series that focuses on this, so I am anxious to watch this sequel series Love Will Still Last Forever.

I liked this series at first, but then I started noticing the stereotypical characters. The male lead was the typical mysterious guy that's already portrayed in so many dramas like this, but in reality he was just toxic. As for the female lead, she was portrayed as this childish and naive girl, which is also an overdone character. I feel like the side characters were a lot more interesting and multi-dimensional, so I was more interested in them.

There were some cute scenes and different side plots to root for in this though. I especially liked the slow burn and the soundtrack. I also liked how the ending tied everything together.

Really enjoyed the story line but 1 big complaint is the Female lead actress was too young. She looked like a teenager. Otherwise I loved it. Made me smile and at times laugh outloud. The acting was well done by all and I don't think there is anything Takeru can do wrong in my eyes. He is a great actor and simply gorgeous. Not only in looks but in personality. Seen him on interviews and what a genuine kind and beautiful soul. This is worth watching.
