Edo Moisel (2021)

Loved the first episodes, hated the second half

I have mixed feelings regarding this "Edo-moiselle". I loved some things, and hated others, to be honest. Okay, let's start with the things I liked: I found the first episodes really, really good; I loved the FL's character (masterfully portrayed by Okada Yui, who's BTW secured herself a place in my personal top5 ^_^), who acted in my eyes as the perfect representation of the things I like about Japan (a sometimes chaotic mix of tradition and modernity, but with the head firmly set in the past - the Edo hairstyle! ^__^ - and with a simple yet refined philosophy that can still be very useful even nowadays - just like how Senka would at first solve Reiwa people's problems or dilemmas with her Edo wisdom!). And I really liked also the CEO's character (which is something I wouldn't have expected, given how classist I am, LOL), thanks to the brilliant performance by Maeda Goki. Lastly, another character I liked (although horribly underdeveloped!) was the one played by Yamaguchi Mayu, whom I had already appreciated for her beauty and talent in "Mango no Ki no Shita de" (I wish she'll get to lead in a dorama soon, not only in movies or SP!).
After the first 3 or 4 episodes, I really thought I was gonna give this a full "10".
But then came the second half, and with it so many thinks I didn't like: first and foremost, how the focus suddenly shifted from "Edo character teaching precious life lessons to Reiwa people" to the Nth, stale, unbearable (all imho of course!) love triangle/square that I honestly could very well do without! I also really hated how the spotlight shifted to the ML (I totally disliked that character, his undecisiveness, his fashion sense - or rather lack thereof!...painful to look at, seriously!).
The ending too (no spoilers, I promise!) felt way too forced to me. This is a perfect example of "lazy writing", as far as I'm concerned.
Too bad, it could've been waaaaay better than this.../.___.\

" Not Very Romantic " and " A bit Hilarious"

First of all, Thanks to " TapiruK" For Eng Subbing This Drama. Please Download Subs From Translator's Site Thanks. https://tapirutv.com/



the story was simple but really meaningful... I was expecting a really cute and romantic storyline but after a few episodes, you will forget about the " Romance " part of the story... their friendship was really meaningful and the dialogues are very heartwarming I really enjoyed it. Really made me relax... FL had a strong Personality I Really Liked Her. She Was a teenager in Edo But In 2021 She was really sagacious In Talking or Acting... but ML Was Average His Decisions or acting toward others were a bit snaped... the supporting roles were perfect too ... I'm just saying this If you want a drama without any conflict or ... Try This.
