Ousama ni Sasagu Kusuriyubi

I will say this show started off pretty good. The male lead started off being a strong character going after what he wanted as a rich man. Well that is how I expected the show to develop and then he gets tamed a little as he develops his relationship with the female lead. Oh no it became a total 360. By the end of the show he ended up putting on the girl pants and she ended up being the man. The director was obviously trying to make a point that men shouldn't be men anymore. The first 3 episodes I thoroughly enjoyed the series and had to finish it off since I was already committed. I didn't even need to watch the last episode because it was obvious how it was going to conclude and who would rise up to be the man in this relationship. I give 3 stars because the first 3 episodes were good. .

Very wholesome and cute drama, super easy to binge as it's only 10 episodes. I grew to really adore her oldest younger brother, I know it's far fetched but I wouldn't mind a spinoff with him in a couple years once he gets older. Overall a very cute storyline and great chemistry between the main leads. There are a couple slower parts which is why this is rated a 9 and not a 10 but the show has rewatch value and I could see myself rewatching it when I have time. I recommend it if you're looking for something quick to watch without a lot of drama (apart from the ending 2 episodes with his disapproving mother)! Overall rating: 9.4/10.

Japanese Drama " Osama Ni Sasagu Kusuriyubi " is a romantic comedy with the theme of a contract marriage.

The drama has an enjoyable plot, kind of predictable and kind of cheesy, but if you enjoy this kind of dramas then you will probably enjoy this one as well.

The couple was cute as well and had chemistry. The love triangle, however, was boring.

Nevertheless, the characters were adorable and the main ones had a lot of sweet and romantic moments.

The performances were enjoyable as well by everyone in the cast. The female lead was espeically enjoyable.

So, overall, seven stars out of ten stars.

Kissing the Ring Finger (Ousama ni Sasagu Kusuriyubi) is a love contract marriage drama which I love, and loved the casting of the ML in this drama Yamada Ryosuke as he played the traditionally conservative family heir perfectly. He was cute, handsome, romantic and caring. The FL was OK but at times a little self serving and **itchy in her acting when he really did like her after all. I have seen better contract marriage dramas before but this one felt a little short in a couple of ares due to the fault of the script I think in about episode 9 with the breakup that had no explanation - just out of the blue and left the FL hurt and made the ML look like another lying you know what. The script could have been better - not the actor's fault they are just going along with the script. The first love of the FL side story could have been more interesting and come more into play or have been better scripted. Also never did care for large lapses of time at the end of a story - please just get on with the story and forget about the lapses. Cute ending though so appreciate that so I gave it an 8 rating overall.
