Ano Kuzu wo Nagutte Yaritainda (2024)

I am still waiting for that punch

Ok this isn't what I expected, and not in a good way.
This is supposed to be a rom-com, it's more of a sport drama with a rom side story, the beginning was funny and some characters were written literally for comedic relief but somehow in the middle they got too seriously responsible and start giving life lessons.
What I loved about the drama was the FL and how she is so resilient and strong-willed, her whole journey and the lessons we can learn.
Also the importance of moving on, losing a person or being the cause of if is difficult, still we have to eventually move on with our lives.

What I didn't like was literally everything else, the ML character is terrible, I know he's been through a lot but that doesn't give him a pass on the pain he inflicted on others, hurting someone isn't an excuse if you have a sad backstory, the whole time I was waiting for the FL punch to come, yet I was surprised by the bizarre romance, the FL is supposedly different from her mother and sister, she is the mind while they are the heart, but to fall in love with a jerk who used you just because he has a sad past is just too stupid, just make her a hopeless romantic like her mum and I'll believe it. Also where is the punch?? He deserves one even if you fall for him, a deal is a deal!
Also this is supposed to be a rom-com, with sport side genre maybe or even a main one but this is too dramatic, it's about suffering and loss, nothing to laugh about here.
The last 3 EPs or so were all over the place, the whole time skip is just unnecessary, and the ML change of heart towards the FL wants me to seriously roots for Uba, I'm on the same page with the FL sister on this matter.
Finally, I wouldn't recommend this drama because despite being a good one, it got a little boring by the end, and the story isn't that great anyway also the rom-com is very lite and only in the first couple of episodes, the rest is pure sport drama.
