Cinderella Again

Japanese Drama " Seishun Cinderella " is a school romantic comedy with a time travelling twist.

The drama has all the right vibes, with a youthful mood, and all ther tropes and twists of a school romance. The two main leads, moreover, were cute together, however, the time travelling trope presented many problems for the couple, thus ruining the love story, as when the romance was strarting to progress, the 'from the future' protagonist would put a stop to it, thus messing with the pace.

However, the friendship between the girls was spot on, sweet and with smooth dynamics.

The performances were great by everyone in the cast as well.

Finally, the drama handled the fantasy element nicely.

So, overall, five out of ten.

I guess I don't like the genre of fantasy romantic dramas - didn't care for the going back in time, then forward in time vision at the uncompleted confession, then trying to go back to the 29 year old home world but ending up in the original high school world again, then finally going back to the age 29 world again. To me, it was too much going back and forth. You do find out that the male lead liked the Female lead from the very beginning even though she wasn't cute in high school and it didn't really have anything to do about her looking better later when she goes back in time. I thought the couple really looked cute together though in the ending.
