I had really loved Ohara Sakurako in the tremendously original drama "Bishonure Tantei Mizuno Hagoromo", and that's what made me watch this "Tsumari Suki tte iitai n Dakedo"...although, in all fairness, I must admit that, except for the FL, I didn't have many expectations...if any at all!
I honestly thought I was gonna drop it after one or two episodes, annoyed as I was probably gonna be by the Nth "romance" (or how I actually call it, "what passes for romance these days", ehm...) drama with the Nth "cold/arrogant male lead" (which, sorry to sound so harsh, I interpret, more often than not, as "the ML couldn't show an emotion even if his life depended on it, so they had to write his character like that", LOL)...but man, was I wrong!!! ^__^;;;
The truth is, this little drama got a beautifully written script, with a nice message, the proper amount of romance (please note, no quotation marks this time!) and comedy (some of the comic relief scenes were honestly hilarious!), with wholesome, clean characters and an extremely interesting "behind the scenes" look at the acting world...and in addition to all that, the drama manages to shine also thanks to the very convincing performances by the whole cast (BRAVO, everybody!), and last but not least to some nice music.
