Iyasaretai Otoko (2019)

Who thought this drama was a good idea? I just want to talk.

After reading such a synopsis most would wisen up and NOT watch this drama. Because clearly this whole concept would fit better as a pink film and is incredibly unsuited as a jdrama or any form of respectable story in general. In fact I found no subs for this drama, most understandable. I saw my favorite Da-Ice song somehow ended up being the opening of this garbage show so now I'm here to review it.

-Story 1/10
The main character is a perverted man who mainly looks at the breasts and behinds of women and he has the skill to fantasize about them in sexual situations. He also has occasional moments of lusting after highschool girls, it really helped in showing how much of a creep he is. He works in a toilet company which explains the amount of toilets featured in his fantasies with women.
Theres no greater plot, he literally just lusts after a lot of women and thats it. Why was this made into a jdrama?

-Acting/Cast 1/10
The female characters all act like actresses in the adult industry because that's the theme of all their scenes anyway. The male lead just has to act like he's shocked all the time or concentrating while sexualizing every woman around him which shows in him making weird faces. It wasn't funny, there was no point in any of it except to have fanservice for the viewers switching channels until they see erotic stuff I presume.

-Music 1.5/10
I liked the song they used for the opening (Da-Ice popgroup) which is why I'm willing to give a slightly higher point. I think for the rest of the OST they just opted to use classical music which played during his fantasies. I was not impressed.

-Rewatch Value 1/10
There is no story, you'd only be rewatching for the fantasies of the perverted guy. I'd honestly just recommend you watch mature movies instead of this if you're after fanservice.

-Overall 1/10
At the end of the day its literally just a perverted guys fantasies. The role of women in the show is severly limited and clearly from a male perspective. It's not progressive in showing sexuality, its just another show to sexualize young women for no reason. If you want a show that actually does the topic of sexuality with an actual plot then watch something like ''Raise de wa Chanto Shimasu''.
Did this show make me lose hope in humanity? By the fact that this was aired.. slightly yes.
So here's your extra warning not to watch it.
