An Incurable Case of Love

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.

Such an ordinary script. There is not much you are looking for. I watched it to practice my Japanese though.

First of all, the lead male has such an exaggerated acting. While he is trying to look cool, he looks childish, rather than charismatic. It is so exaggerated that I cannot believe how nobody tells them to act a bit natural. I do not see any chemistry between the lead couple. If they were brothers and sisters, that would make more sense. Also, sometimes some scenes are cut so abruptly that you think it is not professional enough. Japanese can do better than that. It's so amateurish. I also had a hard time in feeling the feelings of lead actor and actress when they get upset or jealous, they were not believable enough. When the lead lady cried as she eavesdropped her rival's love confession, I simple said "stupid" rather than feeling sorry for her. Overall, I find almost everything in the movie childish. It could have been better if it were a manga maybe.

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.

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.

Enjoyed watching it. I love the acting of the actors. Both lead actors fit their roles. Story is very uplifting and I especially like the funny scenes.
