More proof that I won't skip a drama or movie that Miu plays a bigger role in regardless of my worries for her being typecast for her appearance in a negative light.

While I absolutely enjoy and respect both actors in their own right, this combination was strange. The story is definitely adorable, a genuine change of pace for Japan's craze for a certain beuaty standard, the choice of casting the main characters with such an age gap made it awkward though.

I was also disappointed whenever they hammered in that she did not in fact match Japans beauty standard which yes, on one side it is realistic that she gets that thrown at her a lot by society, but on the other side I'm not a fan of using someones looks as comedic relief. I felt as though her character was rarely taken serious by the writers unless it was about her talent. It especially felt out of place in a drama that was meant to question those norms if not deem them unimportant. It was just too much sometimes and counterproductive really.

Overall the acting was fine, the story was fun and while I cringed a few times I also equally had some chuckles. A short, sweet drama that i dont regret watching and has becone a faint but fond memory.
