Watashi no KaseiOtto, Nagisa-san (2020)

Very Satisfying

The final episode is really beyond my expectations. No wonder it is trending worldwide in twitter on its final episode. For me, it is just so good and very satisfying. This drama is very relatable in every way. I think the lesson in this drama is that there is really no perfect person, every one of us make mistakes and we always has our limits. That limits are just between good and bad. Every person has these one or two things that they can't be really good and we can't just push them to do something that they are so bad or not good at it. And if they can do it, they always have their limits and there are times they will need help from others. The very memorable was at the ending because you can tell that Nagisa-san really cares for Mei that he is really looking at the future. As for Mei, she is not really good at expressing her feelings to Nagisa-san but she knows that she really likes Nagisa-san. I think it is a good thing that they can both honestly expressed their feeling to one another.

I'm really impressed with Nao Omori because I never thought he can be very versatile actor. I mostly watched his movies and dramas, and mostly of his characters were so heavy or hardcore but with this one. I mean WOW!!! He really changed his A game. He is very cute in this drama and also very funny. I can't stop smiling while watching it :) I'm just really shocked with Nao Omori in this drama because he showed another top notch acting. Tabe Mikako also showed her A game here. Tabe and Nao both showed a great chemistry in their acting that's why the drama is so very interesting and so good.

Bittersweet with a serving of cringe

I cried a little when I finished the first episode. I liked Aihara (FL). She was such a cutie in Kimi ni Todoke and Kore wa Keihi de Ochimasen. Overall I liked the side characters, even her colleagues although Japanese dramas tend to exaggerate the positivity of a well-managed team at a salaryman's workplace. But it's fiction so we accept it.
And then came the end of episode 8.
*cringes**eyerolls**internal screaming*
I told myself to get over it because I only have 1 more episode. Can't be that bad. I can do this.
I understand why people gave it a 10 but I do think the FL is taking advantage of the ML. The tone was set to be fatherly, at least to me. He had more chemistry with his ex-MR colleague than FL. As someone who is lazy and doesn't do chores well, I am Aihara and I do think that men who are good at cooking, ironing, and sewing are a sexy bunch of MFs but I do think her decision is selfish, childish, and desperate.
I am also against friends that think they're wise. Not everything your friend says is the truth and can apply to your decisions in life.
There are so many things to discover but *sighs* whatever. As a writer, this annoys me the most. When you knew you saw a gem but the cutter stopped short or miscalculated.
Finished episode 9 while checking my Insta and skimming. Ah, but the cute trainee?

Japanese stereotypes..

The story starts with a young women who has a good job and ends with her marriage with a 20 years older man. So heartwarming the story details may be, in the end the story turns out to be quite stereotypical and misogynistic,because the female protagonist has to marry an older man. The Japanese writers are manipulating the viewers with a heartwarming story to accept misogyny and it works quite well, so that the TV series was even trending on the internet, fully accepted by the female viewers. The criticism, that should have been there, was completely missing. And that´s how the society goes about 3 steps back from the emancipation, that metoo brings, into the misogynistic and for the 21th century outdated picture of a women as married wife with a man who is way too old for her. Japan has a long way to women's emancipation.
