I was so happy at the beginning of this Season since we had 2 Rom-Com starring my favorite actors Eita on one side and Ayano Go on the other side. Alas, both dramas were MEH. This one started good... not great but it had potential. I like when a couple is being more honest due to some circumstances, in this case, once they decided to get a divorce, they were more honest and show their true side to the other.

But I think both leads saw marriage as something frivolous, not serious. One fight, one disagreement, and "let's divorce". They didn't even try to save it. I thought the impeding divorce would be a motive to make them know each other better, but once they finally got divorced (ep07?) it was the downhill. I didn't have any interest on a couple who was so wishy-washy about something as serious as a marriage.

Saki's ex was a good guy and I wish she had chosen him, they were a better match. I don't understand the whole Saki-Kouchi after the divorce...

Kouchi's co-worker who was in love with him... what a meddlesome girl. I hate when other interfere in a marriage, who the hell was she?

Saki's boss, the writer. Wasn't that sexual harassment?? I didn't like him at all and his stupid hair. His "falling in love" was ridiculous.

Saki's parents and Kouchi's parents... I didn't have any interest in them but I am glad the mothers decided to stay divorced. Their husbands were idiots who only appreciate them once they lost them... at least, the mothers in this case DID try to make things work, even when their husbands didn't deserve it all. But it made things more realistic since this is what Showa parents did.

Eita did portray good and some times I was watching his face and missing him so much as a comedy actor. I didn't like how he deepen his voice, it was ridiculous, but it is Eita and I love him. How much I want a good, funny role for him! What a disappointment.

**My rating: 5/10**
