As someone who hasn't read the manga, I decided to watch this series because I had seen Mariya in a past series (Hotel Concierge). So at first glance I expected an engaging love story. Totsuzen Desu ga displayed a couple with good chemistry and decent acting, but with weak characters / story telling. In addition, I found the love rivals to be quite pushy and unlikeable (at the beginning).
What I liked the most were the supportive network of friends and family, in particular Ono and the brother Kanade. The main OST (sung by Mariya) was also fun to listen to. However, the plot was dragged out (episode 8 did nothing to move the story forward) and then rushed at the end! I understand the series was cut short but I would have hoped for a more coherent conclusion which was not centred on 'change of hearts'. I think the title is a little misleading too.
Overall this drama was pleasant, but could have been better.
