Rinko-san wa shitemitai

Wasn't expecting this J-Drama to be so good and was very surprised to like it so much. Very romantic and the lead male TOTSUKA SHOTA was perfect playing the romantic role. I don't usually mention the female leads much but in this case I thought they had good chemistry and was a good match for the drama. Initially just watched it since it was a short 8 episodes and could watch it in one evening - usually watch K-drama but the romanticism brought out in just 8 episodes here far surpassed my usual dramas. Loved the script and how it was developed and also having the one episode to show the male prospective and what he was thinking all along too, which explained alot. Loved the ending! Hope to see Totsuka Shota again in future romantic dramas.

This has all the beats of a classic romance novel. The leads are fairly likeable, so even if the plot is thin, this is a pleasant way to pass a few hours.
