I just finished watching this j-dorama and decided to blog about it. This drama is based on the Korean hit movie, "My Sassy Girl". Although the characters and plot are different, but there are similiar key events in both the Korean movie and the Japanese drama such as the scene where the male protagonist plays Canon in D for the girl and also the part where they met in a train.

A very funny, touching, and warm drama. I realised that this drama relates mostly to fate and destiny. It might feel a little too fake or dramatic but at the same time it made me think alot (this is what I hate most bout watching dramas, they make me relate alot to reality). XD

This story basically starts off with this guy, Saburo who was dumped by his girlfriend. He then meets a girl, Riko at a train station. Riko was drunk and this scene is very much like the same from the movie. She soon falls asleep at the destination station and being the nice guy Saburo is, he decides to carry her to the nearest hotel(in Japan its mostly a "rabu hoteru" lol). The story kick-starts here as the girl comes to his workplace to find Saburo the following day. She thinks that Saburo did something to her at the hotel. From this point on, the events start to unfold episode after episode. She starts to take authority in their "friendship" and it really annoys Saburo.

What Saburo does not know is that Riko is currently suffering from a heartbreak after being dumped by her bf without any notice. When she woke up 1 day, her bf walked out of her life. Devastated, she tried to conceal her feelings but eventually Saburo finds out from the people who know Riko and at the end, from Riko herself.

He decides to do her a favor by finding her bf. He did not want her to suffer anymore. I won't say what happened or why her bf left her, you can find out yourself if you decide to watch this :D

As the story goes on, Saburo falls for Riko. Many more obstacles stand in their way as they progress with their relationship. Riko's playful, sassy attitude and Saburo's guillable, kind character puts together a very funny yet adorable chemistry.

Not to mention the colleagues in Saburo's workplace, Riko's whacky dad and bro, and a few love triangles here and there puts together a really enjoyable story. I personally rate this drama a 4/5.
