not super memorable, but with a couple of gems
In the grand scheme of things, this drama is entertaining, but not super memorable except for two things.
First, Yahagi Honoka as Tsubaki of PBS was brilliant. It's terrific seeing her in something other than Itazura na Kiss. She's a lively, fun actress, and it was hilarious watching her tramp around, tracking these women who are her research subjects.
Second, the relationship foibles of Miharu, her long-time boyfriend Ryota, and Tokita, the younger man out to steal her away. That's kind of the only relationship that felt halfway real to me. I love Sato Ryuji as Ryota, and I feel like he's probably waaaaay too good of an actor to be in this show, so he added a certain emotional depth, I think. I appreciated the mistakes made and the forgiveness offered, but I also wish that hearts didn't have to be broken along the way. Poor Tokita. Miharu's story was the only reason I kept watching so I'm glad it was such a big focal point for the series.
I couldn't have cared less about the other three women. They were all over-acted portrayals of stereotypes so I just rolled my eyes and moved on.
Would I watch it again? Probably not. However, I did appreciate that while dealing with mature themes, it didn't go heavy on the sexual content. That would have been too much, I think. Oh well, I watched it, it was fun, and now my brain will probably wipe it from my memory except for Sato Ryuji as Ryota and Yahagi Honoka as Tsubaki.
Watch it on Viki for subs and HD quality streaming. Very nice.
