Japanese Drama "Nechan no Koibito" is a slow-paced slice of life that centers around family, work, and human relationships.

The story follows mainly the female lead, as she goes through life, making every moment count and making ends meet in order to support her family. From time to time, though, it also follows the male lead, as the viewer discovers his past and who he is. However, the drama focuses a bit too much on the work area and left out the family dynamics in the beginning. Also, the female lead often acted too optimistic, giving out saint vibes.

Other than that, the romance was well paced and had many twists, even though the love story was closer to reality. The side couple was cute too.

Finally, the performances were great from everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.
