Konin Todoke ni Han wo Oshita dake desu ga

ONLY JUST MARRIED (Tonin kodoke ni han wo oshita dake desu ga) (2021) is a sweet J-Drama Romcom that was worth the watch. Firstly I must say the male lead definitely under preformed here and was just a huge let down. I don't really know the actor but he almost sunk this love ship. He was very hard to stand, with a few little instances of being "meh-okay" sprinkled throughout. The female lead, however, (Akiha Ohkado, played by Nana Seino) was awesome, totally lovable and really grows on you though, so she definitely stole the show. She made it worth the watch and made it memorable. She's definitely an upcoming name to keep an eye out for in future years. Just loved her! So fun, quirky and genuinely down to earth.

Even though the male lead frequently grated on my nerves, the show was quite pleasant besides, with an assortment of interesting side characters as well, and a few great settings and some cliché, but still enjoyable sub-plots. Overall, a good watch and pretty enjoyable show, mostly for the female lead's sake. The romance was alright in the end.

Called "Only Just Married" on Viki. Really did not like this JDrama at all. For starters, it is eerily similar to another drama I watched already, so I can't say it is an original concept at all. Seems like it may be a copy of something else out there already, can't really remember the title of the other one I watched (could be a KDrama, not sure). Also, the ML is way too clueless to be believable - the FL comes right out and tells him her feelings and he still doesn't get it? And lastly, when things do get all sorted out, they only meet halfway? It was so frustrating of a story to watch and even the ending was frustrating. Although somewhat a satisfying ending, the writer could have just ended it there without the addition of the last comments at the end which only made it more frustrating. They should have left that part off completely and I would have given it more stars.

Probably would have given it a 8 if not for the last two episodes, the male lead is kind of a dud even with a bad script and they never were able to create a feeling of clicking as a couple in love. Still its a good watch the FL is quite good first time seeing her and nobody in the supporting cast that i had to FF through.

Actors ***** Romance ***** Sidekicks *** Nagging Grandmother ***** Comedy *****

Akiha Okada (Nana Seino) is a 27 year-old woman with a nagging grandmother who has one thing on her mind to see her granddaughter get married. She's a very content woman with a dream job as a designer at Morita Design, but her personal life was never at the same level of success as her professional one. After a while she felt that single life was best.

She is in no rush to tie the knot and feels awkward when Shu Momose's (Kentaro Sakaguchi) proposes. He is everything that a woman is looking for a man. Handsome, reliable and has a great job... what more can you want? Yet she rejects him.

Will she change her mind and accept his proposal and finally make her grandmother happy?

Japanese Drama " Konin todoke nihan wo oshita dakedesuga " is a light, fluffy drama.

The story is pretty simple, predictable, and full of cheesy twists and cliches, and yet, it was enjoyable. Probably because the main couple had chemistry. Also, the leading lady gave an excellent performance. The rest of the cast did a good job as well.

Unfortunately, the ending was boring and got confusing with the back and forth of their decisions. Things could have been simpler and more entertaining.

So, overall, seven out of ten.
