Fall 2016
Yui Aragaki plays Mikuri Moriyama, a tenacious young woman that often immerses herself in delusional thinking that thwarts her good intentions. She loses her job and in her desperation becomes a housekeeper for a young business man named Hiramasa Tsuzaki played by Gen Hoshino. At first, their relationship is strictly work related, but as they find each other useful for their own needs, they somehow end up in a precarious situation as employer and employee and decide to marry to keep the relationship from dissolving. The longer they stay together, the more they realize that maybe there is more to this relationship than strictly work.
Recommendation: So if you watch Japanese dramas, you most likely know who "Gakky" is. I think playing a cute and awkward young woman suits her. I heard the dance she does during the ending theme song became a bit of a trend. I've never watched a drama with Gen Hoshino, but I can say that I think he played a typical, well mannered, single, 35 year old male quite well. The adjustment of his glasses became his quirky habit. This is a good drama if you want to watch something romantic that is not heavy. It's fast paced and easily binge worthy. The premise is interesting because it starts off with two people marrying in order to maintain an employer/employee relationship which then predictably switches the other way around. Other than that the plot is nothing new in terms of the usual romantic comedy. There is good chemistry between the leads and it showcased good production value and editing. I think the drama promotes marriage, but doesn't stray from the fact that it's not the end all be all of a relationship and there are other types of relationships that exist out there. The story also stresses the fact that marriage is the beginning of something new and that there will be ups and downs no matter what. I'm glad I watched this drama as it was still entertaining despite being predictable.
