Kono Otoko wa Jinsei Saidai no Ayamachidesu (2020)

A more comical take on a SM relationship

This is a really funny series!
So this was basically a more comical take on an SM relationship if anything.

But, let's not overlook there is stalking and harassment here, and even after she clearly expressed she didn't want anything to do with him. Which is indeed not okay in real life. This would be my only complaint and the reason why I would remove 1 star. although it does seem she does make sure on how clearly wrong his actions are here.
But in the end, he still keeps on following her, and she just kind of seems to have accepted it although she doesn't seem too happy either with it, which kinda makes me a bit sad here.

Otherwise looking apart from that, only looking at it as an entertainment show, then it somehow works out with the comedy, without damaging the otherwise lighthearted scenes there also is in this series.

But I still come to somehow like to imagine just a bit, of what could have been of these two, if they had turned out to grow into a more healthy relation together, in a world where he somehow could actually pursue her and without being a creep and stalking her, while still keeping their sadistic and masochistic tendencies? as this storyline is incredibly interesting and their characters are mostly pretty great together, I think.

Although I do at the same time feel quite happy with the real ending of how it turned out with this series. I would definitely recommend it as an entertainment drama to watch.

Funny and Charming!

This drama was incredibly funny with loveable characters. I read the summary and was shocked but knowing how jdramas can pull off insane plots I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did because I really liked it. The plot was really fun and the actors when for it with all their might. I loved the chemistry between the main leads and their dynamic. It is very rewatchable because it is just a simple romcom format that will be fun to comeback to in the future. The only cons to this drama is the ending. It was very open ended which I hope means a season two, though it will still be satisfying without one.

DON'T LET THE SUMMARY DECIEVES YOU

this is the most sick, disgusting and trivial romance drama i've ever seen

the writer should be in primary stage to write this SH**
not even a beginner

i couldn't believe my self i bear to continue this rubbish
i watched it really some kind of curious to see if it's going to be better or not
but i just wasted my time 3 hrs and half and my gigabytes on it

AND guess what?? it was getting worse
How come the only good part was the first 4/6 min. Till she met him again at the company

all characters were sticky, shallow, disgusting and mentally sick especially men in this drama
touching women they meet for the first time and getting near too much which was really weird
and i consider it kind of harassment not comedy at all
all fall for her from the first sight

the FL was too aggressive and annoying and beating the ML any where any time
the ML was accepting humiliation as if he was getting reward or present
he was getting beat from the FL and trying literally to kiss her legs all the time and telling her he want to be her slave
(this is not an analogy or figure of speech)
he was clinging to her legs trying to kiss her

which made me feel i want to vomit most of the time
this is literally wasn't comedy drama at all
they should add (DISGUSTING & SICK) to the genre
and above all that the end was too silly and stupid

OMG really it raised my temper
i can't believe my eyes it got that rate
with NO STORY .. NO CHARACTERS.. NO PLOT .. NO COMEDY & NOTHING AT ALL
what you get after watching this, Psychiatric patients (writer and characters) ONLY
AND boiling blood

A Super Silly JDrama

THIS GUY IS THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IN MY LIFE was a funny one to be sure, full of goofy humor and crazy antics. While I didn't really buy into the romance aspect, the comedy is pretty top notch, golden. Definitely made me laugh a whole bunch. It was pretty outrageous and over the top, but in a good way I think. Lots of slapstick, crazy situations and scenarios, as well as very funny main characters. Don't go into this one expecting your average Romcom, because it's pretty crazy!

Overall, this was a really funny and pretty out-there series that I definitely recommend to Jdrama and comedy fans. Japanese anime-esque humor abounds. Also, the main actress was pretty enjoyable. Definitely worth a try!

When trash manga comes live.

You have heard it. Totally trash manga adaption, in this case is BDSM.
I'm sure a lot of people feel disgusting but it really depends on perception. I would say much similar to LGBTQ perception long time ago. However i really don't want trash mangas to enter drama territory at all.
In 2010 i gave up on trashy Hollywood.
About 2016-2017 i gave up on trashy mangas/animes.
But if drama land being invaded by those trashy i'm afraid i might gave up my life soon (lol jk).
Ok back to the show here are the cons:
- Slagging is the biggest problem here. I finished with fast forwarding the whole show, so stressful watching. I would have shrinked them to 5 episodes at most or made it a single trashy movie.
- Female lead (Sato Yui) is terrible. Her facial expressions lead me to nowhere everytime, her reactions are poor, voicing is dull and annoying asf. Her characteristic is a huge problem tho its not her fault lmao.
- Story is like other said will lead you to nowhere, no development or chemistry. Pure dirty jokes.
Pros:
- Luckily the main lead (Amagi Kyoichi) and his secretary (Natori So) save the show, still with fast forwarding. I liked Amagi from Hammer session and his acting here is superb. He made me smiles everytime but i somewhat disappoint that he took this role.

I sometime enjoy trashy animes but please spare the drama land.
Reading this review and decide that you should watch or not. Save you some hours and anger lol.

Master and Slave

I don't even know where to start when it comes to reviewing this drama. The title translates as “This guy is the biggest mistake in my life” and I almost feel like that after having watched it. I have not read the manga so I can't really say how well it compares to the source material, but honestly, I don't want to find out.

The first episode actually made me think that this could turn out to be an interesting story. The main characters had potential and I felt there was room for growth on both sides. Obviously, you need to come into this drama with a grain of salt (or a whole bag of salt). It depicts full-on stalking and borderline obsessive behavior. In my opinion, it sends an awful message to the viewer and I get it's not meant to be taken seriously, but honestly speaking, those issues are not exactly funny.

Other than the most glaring issues that I already mentioned, my biggest issue with this drama is that the characters, especially the main lead do not seem to learn anything. They keep repeating the same patterns of behavior seemingly not self-aware. Or even worse, they are aware but keep doing it anyway, over and over again. By the end of the drama, nothing is learned, there is no character growth, no story development, and the audience is lead in circles only to end up at the exact same place.

I think this drama can only suit a very particular kind of humor, and it does not suit mine.

I found the 1st episode rlly amusing, but I think it was part to shell shock. When I get surprised, I laugh. When FL Yui-chan is in the bar, lamenting about a lost love, and it's filmed in fish bowl POV, where she's feeding a mystery person at eye level etc - and then u find out she's mourning her DOG - i was so surprised, I burst out laughing. The laughing ctd, when she tripped CEO up, and he declares his love for her the next day, while wishing to be her slave. Whenever she kicks, presses him to the ground with her foot, body-threw him, he appeared more and more besotted. So when I watched 1st episode, I told myself I was alright with it, coz it was comedic. He appeared to get off on being man-handled and humiliated and degraded.

By ep 2, I was no longer laughing.
At the end of the day, when he turned up outside her flat in 3hr wait with roses, he is a creepy stalker. Yet, he is also opening himself up to a lot of abuse. If he gets off on being slapped around, there's a point I stop laughing and feel sorry for him. Oc, this drama doesn't ask us to feel sorry, it's just Japanese drama and not everyone has to be "fixed" of their hang-ups but just because someone wants to be slapped around, doesn't mean people should oblige. Till what point will he be someone's b%^&. I know masochism is a thing, and FSOG was a thing, and BDSM is a thing, but ok.

The FL appears very irked by being made his master, and tries to dissuade him, and when she inflicts violence, I don't think she's a bad person per se. I don't think she's strong, or whatever ppl laud her as. And I know she's been thrust into this role unwillingly.

But at this stage, neither of leads are super likeable
BUT since this drama is 25min long x 6, I vowed to finish it, and also it#s not that boring. I felt like I was on an acid trip, where situations and scenes are so absurd, like painting a face with ketchup and hanging out in a tree etc, sliding face down a banister (honestly never seen THAT before, the way he did it) and THAT is an appeal so that also helps me keep watching.

I think the opening titles and song is kinda catchy. Simple, effective and i never miss it. easily the best of each episode

Overall, i don't regret watching it
Even if I gave it a 1
It just didn't turn out as funny as I hoped
