At first glance, I was put off by the unpalatable appearances of the women. An afro with no eyes, a supposedly beautiful Rio Uchida with her eyes obscured by bangs, and others whom I didn't really notice at the start. It seemed like an outlandish gaudy manga-genre drama full of overblown expressions and contorted faces. Indeed, right at the start, the main protagonists was presented as either anthrophobic or autistic, and it was exhausting watching her, but almost 5min into the show, I found myself feeling comfortable and relaxed, for under all the alien appearances and an entire household of creepy eccentric women-creatures, you could sense their loneliness, innocence, longing for love and acceptance, and the similar fear of the outside world.

The story progressed, soon blooming into a romance (no spoilers here), and what I appreciate is that unlike other dramas, you won't see a sweet budding romance quickly warp into a sensual bed scene, or some rivalry in love turn into ugly backstabbing. Moreover, everyone in the show are pleasant, if not funny, and everyone has their parts culminate into an agreeable 'ever-after' ending. I feel refreshed and my heart sweetened by the innocence and sweetness of the story, be it camaraderie among inhabitants of the household, brotherly/family bonds of the politician's family.

Almost after finishing the last episode, my feeling was.... I don't mind re-watching it again, now. I guess that sums it up.
