This show is all over the place. First of all, at no point in time throughout these 10 episodes did I even for a single second feel as though female lead (FL) and male lead (ML) were right for each other. What a weird pairing. Despite that though, FL can act. She has a wide range of emotions in a sea of stiff performances from everyone else. ML has his moments too that made me change my opinion on him for the positive, but I feel this couple pairing felt too forced.
Second, the young antagonist is comically cringe worthy. What is this acting? Holy, it's bad. And this boy be a freak! He nasty! It doesn't make it better he looks dangerously young. And the story has the audacity to give him a redemption arc. Furthermore, all the scenes that revolve around his business are awful - awful concept, awful music, and awful visuals.
Third, there's a range of random characters thrown into this show. Cosplayer girl, while very cute with her different cosplays and general acting, is such a weird addition to the show. Truth be told though, since this show is kind of bad, I didn't really mind her presence. Even with her limited screen time she spices things up visually. Then there is bike boy... This part of the show was an insane miss. Did not care, this entire plot line should have been deleted from the script.
Lastly, I think the only unique thing this show has to offer is the whole realm of highly professional flower arrangements. Although it is an intriguing concept to center a show around, it's just not for me. While the show does a good job of opening up this world to me for the first time, I didn't find it all practically interesting and felt more disbelief regarding how this could be such a big thing in the first place. How should I say it, it's very Japanese.
