Café & Baunilha (2019)

Um drama que gera muia polêmica

Em um contexto geral, Café e Baunilha entrega um roteiro fraco, com uma história clichê polêmica (depende do seu ponto de vista) e com pontos favoráveis e não-favoráveis.

Acredito que esse seja o primeiro que vi, em que o drama contém um conteúdo mais adulto e constrangedor em certos momentos.

A personagem principal Risa, me deixou irritada, seu jeito de ser ingênua em certos aspectos, insegura e que aceita tudo só com um 'sim'. Em muitos momentos, eu queria que ela tivesse mais maturidade, que entrasse no papel de uma mulher universitária, segura de si e madura o suficiente para entrar em um relacionamento. Vejo que Risa, é somente uma mulher saindo da fase dos 18 anos, mas de certo caindo na fase dos 20 anos, mesmo com o interior ainda criança.

Entendo que ela parece só viver em seu mundinho, mas sabe?! Há um contraste...

A questão dos ciúmes Hiroto, em relação à Risa, é retratado de forma compreensiva de parte - compreende-se de fato. Hiroto é um homem de 32 anos, criando uma relação com Risa de apenas 20 anos.

-

Coffee & Vanilla começa a ser polêmico, a partir de:
- Risa conhece Hiroto e em menos de 24 horas, ela já aceita ter um relacionamento com ele;

- Muitos pedidos de desculpas (ela definitivamente não tem problemas com perdão! - risos!);

- Risa pensava muito em Hiroto, e para se distrair enquanto ele estava em uma viagem, "arruma um emprego para se distrair".

Enfim, claro que há outros fatores, bons e ruins, há uns que não posso listá-los aqui, se não corre risco dessa análise perder sua essência... e cá entre nós, opinião cada um tem a sua.

Eh

Este drama é uma bagunça, tudo acontece rápido e muito subdesenvolvido. Os personagens principais eram realmente superficiais.
Se alguém me perguntasse qual era o enredo desse drama eu não saberia responder, porque ele não tem. Cada vez que uma trama vagamente interessante era apresentada, ela era jogada pela janela em menos de 5 minutos. Eles tiveram tantas oportunidades, mas optaram por ignorar todas elas. Posso até exemplificar: o casal secundário, de onde eles vieram? O relacionamento de Yuki com Fukami e, acima de tudo, a mãe do Fukami. Quando vi ela aparecer, comemorei pensando que finalmente havia chegado a hora em que o cara teria algum desenvolvimento, mas não, eles nos deram uma solução preguiçosa.
Uma coisa que realmente me incomodou foi a quantidade de cenas de estupro e assédio, quero dizer, algumas delas eu entendo, mas quando você coloca todos os caras que estão neste drama para participar em alguma cena desse tipo, é um pouco demais.
Agora, eu sei que acabei de dizer todos os tipos de coisas ruins sobre esse programa, mas me escuta ... Tenho que admitir que é super divertido e rápido de assistir, eu realmente gostei. Entrei nisso sabendo no que estava me metendo e ele não me desapontou muito. O casal principal teve seus momentos fofos e algum tipo de vínculo. Se você desligar a cabeça e apenas assistir, pode até gostar.

Só quero passar a ideia pra quem está pensando em assistir. Se fizerem questão, ok, mas saibam que é uma trama meio tóxica. Tem um cara sendo escroto/abusivo? Não, nada disso, ele é um príncipe. O problema é que a mocinha é intragável. Ela tem uma autoestima super baixa, vive se achando pouco suficiente pro boy, etc. A trama passa essa imagem de que a mulher tem que estar a altura de um cara incrível. Muitos mangas shoujos fazem isso, mostram o cara como o perfeito, quase um deus, e a menina é uma coisinha sem sal que deve se sentir super sortuda por ter chamado a atenção do boy deus. Péssimo.
Sorte que nem todas mangakas criam personagens femininas assim, tal como é bem interessante que os mocinhos também não sejam a perfeição em pessoa. Isso tá defasado, é irreal, chato e tóxico.
Mulheres também podem ser fortes e espetaculares nas tramas. Não só podem como devem. E mostrar que elas possuem amor próprio é essencial. Já se foi o tempo em que tramas que menosprezam a personagem feminina eram tidas como ok, hoje estamos mais espertas e sensatas, e tramas assim nos dão agonia, é desagradável de ver. A única coisa que "compensa" nesse drama é contemplar a beleza do Sakurada Dori, porque fora isso fica intragável. Não há boy lindo que nos faça aguentar. Recado tá dado.

So I hated this show, the only positive thing I have to say about it is that it's short if it was longer I would have dropped it. The female lead destroys this show she is almost unbearable to watch. She has the backbone of a jellyfish and the personality of a rock. She is the definition of a damsel in distress always needs a big strong man to come save her from other guys who are trying to hit on her. The Male lead isn't much better same lack of personality. They have no chemistry and when there relationship goes to the "mature" parts they look like two robots who don't understand how human mating works but are trying it out. Their relationship has no development and this drama really doesn't even have a story. It's just girls get grabbed/hit on by guy the male lead saves her happy ending. Rinse and repeat till the end

Short sweet and refreshing

This is one of those dramas that has every cliche that’s ever been in a drama. The male lead is a cold 30 year old rich CEO and the female lead is a very shy insecure virginal college student. All of the women want to be with the male lead. And of course all of the men want the female lead. So why am I giving it such a high rating? Why do I like it so much? It’s just so sweet fluffy and romantic. And I’ve never seen an Asian drama show so much skin in a drama. I mean it’s like a toned down version of “50 Shades of Grey.” I’m a sucker for a really romantic drama that has the romance heat up quickly. It’s just so rare and it’s soooo sweet. Very little angst and lots of sweet moments. I like how she’s always sitting on the floor curled up at his feet. And I like how he always runs up and gives her back hugs all the time. This is my go to drama after watching a really heavy angsty drama. It’s light sweet tone is really refreshing. And with only 10 episodes it’s a quick easy watch. It’s definitely not for everyone. But it’s my guilty pleasure.

"Coffee and Vanilla" was just too vanilla.

The romance was too sudden and that's why the intensity of it was thrown out of the window. There was an implied love triangle that was easily swept under the carpet only to be mentioned towards the ending. The mature parts were okay, but it looked a bit robotic and forced, lacking any emotion and romance overall. So, the drama was just like this : boy falls in love with popular but childish and naive girl, they get together, many try to set them apart, boy comes to the rescue every single time, happy ending. There was no character development, no love story build up and no surprises. Plus, the leading lady was, as you can guess, the vanilla of the story, and rightly so. She had no personality, claimed to be immature, but she never actually changed, even though there were some scenes that had potential. Her love interest was a more complicated that was never explored.

So, four out of ten.

i'd like to have my life back before i watched this baloney macaroni because rn i want to bury my memory of this drama deep in the very depths of depths.

why is the fl so painfully naive and just spineless? there was no character development to her at all
what bothered me was that she got sexually assaulted by this dude then she decided that it's a good idea to work for that same dude???

idk how to feel about the main leads.... their chemistry felt a bit unnatural? there was no buildup to their relationship lmaoooo it's legit big bang theory lol the main leads met and kABAM cupid did their work
it was hilarious to see them hug and talk about their undying love for each other like they've been dating for eons when they legit just met

hmmm the ml's actor is eyecandy i can't deny that bUT i couldn't stand how creepy possessive he was
also what's with the ml appearing at the exact timing that the fl is in danger? is this dude jesus?

I'm not a fan of manga so I decided to see it just because it was ongoing and it was showing up on my explore page all the time. You can tell it's a manga adoption just by Risa's voice and Hiroto's haircut (you know that typical long manga hairstyle).

To the plot ... I really like the fact that each episode is a little less than 30 minutes long which doesn't tires me unlike the typical 1 hour + long dramas. To be honest everything is happening really fast but again how long would be the storyline of a manga? It's definitely a drama for more mature audience or people who like a little bit of smut ;)

Now the story is quite basic : The typical virgin "never-had-a-boyfriend-before" girl fells in love with a mysterious, sexy , rich guy who's manipulative but she doesn't care (or understand it) because she's in love. It kinda reminds me of Twilight movies sometimes ( and I wasn't a fan ). Anyway I would really like to know what's his secret that he has to hide so well from her but from some spoilers I read that he might be bisexual and doesn't want her to know???? I guess I'll have to wait until the end to learn...

I would definitely re-watch it for the spicy scenes ;)

This series is utter trash. I literally feel like hanging myself because I ran my ass home every day after college tryna jump onto Ccasian to watch 'Coffee & Vanilla' ((believing that the story and the god awful acting would improve)).. I mean, just from the introductional episode, I knew this series was shit but to my surprise.. it's shittier than I could ever imagine .. but that didn't stop me, I carried on (Mistake!!). ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
There was literally no storyline!!!! WHAT THE HELL DID I WASTE MY PRECIOUS TIME ON !?!!!
God knows. I absolutely would not recommend this to a living soul unless they're livin' the bum life.
Anyways, this is my list of complaints:
- ML is supposedly 30 years old but looks like a young teen fresh outta his 15th birthday .
- FL is supposed to be Hella pretty but it appears that they ran out of pretty actors .
- FLs and MLs acting is shit. it's like they're talking to trees but I'm sure we'd be a lot better at expressing ourselves to a branch. - They're stiff and appear inexperienced . . . Especially for this genre but to be honest, the narrative performed was so bad you can't analyse a single genre or comprehend jack .
- FL and ML should have had a better closet. The clothes they wore were truly dull and limited... That orange dress the FL wore is literally the only thing nice but the lighting in the episode is deceptive so I can't really rely on that comment. And what's with the fashion sense, was this series really released in 2019? It's questionable .
- Oh, the lighting was soo poorly controlled that the front cover of the series looks different to the actors in the series itself. It appeared as though the filmmakers wanted to alter the realism and throw on a filter to hide any blemishes or faulty cells.
- FL acting was as I said previously, trash. I didn't read the manga but I could tell there was gaps of story missing... Like how the characters are supposed to be portrayed and the so called 'dark past' the ML has, which is to be exposed ( they left this crucial part out so in the end you're left sighing and shouting "HUH?" )
- During intimate scenes the FL was SO DAM STIFF! This was the most vexing part becuz her MUDAFAQIN head was always drooling on the floor! Omg! Omg! Just recalling the memory is boiling my blood. And this dumbass moves like a fish! The girls floppin around just from undoing a couple of her man's buttons on his shirt!! Like WTF!?
I can totally relate if he had a sexy ass torso but this dude is skin and bones!! What's there to exaggerate @bout?!
Not to mention the eye contact! It's the most frustrating thing ever because the best thing about romantic genres is when emotions are linked with eye contact and the build up of any romance, IS EYE CONTACT! WHY THE HELL IS THIS MISSING?!?! I SWEAR DOWN, ITS THAT FEMALE LEAD!
Wait wait wait, the kissing scenes were ಠ益ಠ because everything about the FL reminded me of a FISH! She resembled a fish so mfing much ತ_ತ. If you type 'Risa and Hiroto' on YouTube, you'll be able to empathize with me 1000%
So to summarise, it's that dam FL ! For God's sake, if you don't believe me, just watch it yourself. You will die on repeat.

Yours truly,

Suicide.

Don't even start this piece of shit.

I haven't seen anything worse than this drama. I literally thought in the first 5 ep that the main lead is someone who is obssessed with having sex with her. It literally seems like some sort of abusive relationship.
Their chemistry sucks plus when I google the story of this drama there is a line that she will learn about his "DARK PAST" but but there isn't anything about his past in the whole drama and don't even get me started on the female lead I mean anyone can kiss her or harass her and she is like ss...sorry I mean wtf ? even a 7 year old child can be better or bold enough to say STOP and her boyfrnd is like I'm here now and booom that thing ends there. Like what the fuck.
and there isn't any explanation on why people keep harassing here, what is wrong with the guy's work is he even a normal person or someone who is just obssessd with her.
I'm so frustated that I can't even describe.

So this is a perfect fluff fest with unbelievable character interactions. I hear you now..now but that's typical Shoujo. This is even more saccharin sweet than most. There is like 0 conflict, 0 outside interference (well that wasn't resolve with 10 minutes of it cropping up and nothing serious). What kept this from being total snoozefest was the implied sex scenes and the sexual tension situations Risa found herself in.

Risa is not the brightest bulb in the pack and her child like characteristic start to get annoying relatively early in the series, and his action make you wonder what their future is going to be like later...(yeah I was bored).

This get a 7. Just make sure you take your insulin shot before you watch it.
