sunako_yueNami Suzuki was born and raised in a small rural town. She doesn't have a specific dream to pursue and she is an easy going person. As an ordinary woman, she desires to be happy with an ordinary life. She follows Kenya, who is her childhood friend and her unrequited love, and applies for a job in the supply management department of a large publishing company in Tokyo. Nami gets hired by the company, but she is assigned to work in the editorial department of a fashion magazine. (MDL-2021)
Initially I wasn't going to watch this, but because the cast was invited to Tokyo Park Friends show and they all seemed lovely, and I was curious about Mone as a lead of a romcom, I watched the 1st ep and was immediately hooked. It has that TBS filter I like so much: vibrant, happy colors and nice shots of Tokyo, with colorful clothes.
The characters were also good; seemed like it was going to be some sort of Devil Wears Prada plot but it wasn't really because, the Chief Editor is known as an Akuma (Demon) she is just ruthless but not mean. She doesn't look down to others (seems like she does, but she doesn't), is a good senior to Nami-chan in spite of Nami being too "average", and she really loves fashion and magazines.
So for the first 4 or 5 episodes it was a nice drama, funny, sometimes cheesy but of the good kind (who cares if the MLM is waiting for her under the rain, as long as he is nice and cares for her?) and I liked the fashion aspect more than anything.
But that was the first half only. The 2nd half went downhill so quickly, with many cliches I hate watching in "romance" drama, such as SLM (out of nowhere he falls for her? zero chemistry btw them, but oh no, the tsundere guy falls for her and then goes with "I will never let you cry" and stupid stuff like that), overhearing behind doors/walls, the white knight and the black knight doing their most to "save the damsel in distress" and boring stuff like that.
And don't let me start with the whole ending... Jun goes to Cambodia to achieve his dream to become a photographer, before that they get engaged but he doesn't even talk to her for THREE YEARS?? What in the world.... what a lousy script. What a waste of Mamiya Shotaro and Kubota Sayu, they make such a lovely couple but nothing, even the spin-off is a complete waste. The romance, which takes 70% of the story, was so bad my gawd it ruined everything.
**My rating: 3.5**
SPIN-OFF: "Oh! My Tsundere! Koi wa Bessatsu de"
In the first 2 episodes I was thinking this was better than the main story just because I like the serious girl + tsundere boy type of story better than 2 softies. And the chemistry between Shotaro and Sayu <3 what a pretty couple! Then the whole Nagazawa falling for the other girl happened, he never looks at Sayu with any romantic interest for all 7 episodes except for the last couple of minutes where he is, oh right, I do love you **eyerolling**
Waste of two beautiful and talented actors.
