Usokon

Japanese Drama '' Usokon '' is a romantic comedy of a contracted relationship between two old friends.

The drama has an unoriginal, but overall an enjoyable story. The main male lead was pretty funny as he struggled to express his true feelings towards the girl and as he was being cheeky behind her back, making scenarios of his own, scenarios that kept failing miserably. The female lead was also enjoyable, though her character got tiring after a while, as she was too much of a victim with no real character development in the ending.

Nevetheless, the couple was cute and the love triangle was nicely handled. However, the ending was ridiculous and so idiotic that didn't make sense if one wanted a more realistic approach to a drama that so far had a smooth sail with its story.

So, overall, six out of ten.

I'm a sucker for cliché and overdone concepts, such as fake marriage plots like in this series. I like these concepts when they're done well and I think that you could say that about this series.

I liked the two main characters and their chemistry together. I found their contrasting personalities entertaining. There were some nice and insightful dialogue between the characters as well. I'm disappointed in the fact that they didn't showcase this chemistry more, because this would have made the relationship feel more natural.

My biggest disappointment was the ending though. I'm not sure what happened, but the ending felt messy and lazy. There wasn't enough character development in this series to make the ending believable. The ending just felt so out of place, which is a shame, because with some better character development and a better ending, this series could have been so much more enjoyable!
