A robot and an idler
An absolute gem of a drama with a quirky and funny story and characters; the synopsis is accurate so I am just going to gush a bit about this drama.
A robotic girl and an idler meet, and reasonably decide to sign a contract and get married. But before that, the social convention says they should date. So they do! And it is hilarious. She shows up at the first date with a fake flower on top of her head and the duck mouth expression on her face, scaring the living daylights out of the ML. Through a series of such dates, they unwittingly and unconsciously start changing, becoming less rigid and stubborn! Eventually, they try dating other people without realizing they had actually fallen for each other. There is an emotional scene towards the ending, when their love is obvious to all except to themselves, and when they argue how unfit they are for each other! So perfect! So unexpected, though completely within their characters!
There is a number of support characters, helping them along the way: her long suffering widower of a father, the ML's mother and friends and of course the ghost of her mother (actually, the FL's subconsciousness).
Often, I had an impression of watching a theatre play: there are long dialogues, with very fast exchanges, no music and interior sets! The writing was rather good though I must admit that it became a bit repetitive and therefore boring in the second half: I did not laugh as much as during the first episodes and they could not help themselves: they had to introduce the most annoying and useless trope: a childhood connection! The actors were perfect. I admire japanese casting directors: how do they manage to find child actors who look perfectly like the main actors! It is uncanny!
This was a great watch, funny and uplifting!
