Dose Mo Nige Rarenai (2021)

When the writer doesn't get it right......

If you want to punish yourself for some evil thing you did to your good neighbor, watching this drama series might get you through the punishment of a half-hell. Three or four episodes into the series, I wondered where the story was going. In the end, I then realized it was nowhere interesting or surprising. I also learned the art of writing an easy tv script: boring monologue or dialog that keeps going over the same grounds, silence being golden, long pauses to fill the gap between meaningful words, lots of tears, then a pat on the head, a big hug, a kiss (whether forced or consensual). In this day and age, this script writer still seems to encourage physical/ bodily touch between boss or supervisor and subordinates, as if charges of harassment were a foreign thing. I felt sorry for the actors who tried hard to inject life into a dead script, but too bad, it's too dead to be resuscitated.

Typical PG-13 Jdrama...

I should have known better when I saw the PG-13 rating. Jdramas with 20-somethings tend to veer towards the cutesy and simple. It was empty calories. The female lead was such a Mary Sue that it was painful. The male lead was tortured and immature. You aren't missing anything if you don't watch this. It's like a piece of candy that dissolves quickly and leave no lasting impression. The acting was serviceable, but no award winning performances because the plot didn't demand it.

I have nothing more to add but I can't send the review until I reach a 500 length limit.
