7/10
A great whole with parts that really hit but also parts that somewhat miss

I will keep it really short.

"More than a married couple, but not lovers" encompasses a whole range of genres. It hops from romance to comedy to ecchi to drama. And there's moments where this series really does each genre justice, but it didn't always hit the mark for me.

Sometimes the ecchi scenes are really tense, sensual and other times they're pretty trashy. Sometimes the jokes are genuinely funny, but other times, they only got a blank stare out of me. The romances are generally well constructed and you can feel the conflict slowly cooking. Both of our protagonists have conflicting feelings and hopes, which leads to some exceptionally beautiful dramatic moments.

This was a surprise hit for me this season. And despite not being a masterpiece, it is a show that I can safely recommend if you are a fan of one of the genres (or more) that I mentioned above.
