Good Enough
PennyReviews14 January 2024
Japanese Drama '' Kekkon Yoteibi '' is an office romance.

The story is fun, even though it's pretty predictable and somehow basic. But the way the drama is filmed, and the choice to use monologues acted out to the camera by the characters, were what spiced things up and helped the drama stand out.

And even though it's short and has some things underdeveloped, it managed to wrap up the story nicely in the end.

The performances, in addition, were great by every actor and actress in the cast and the leading lady was especially cute without being annoying.

Another plus is that the drama didn't shy away from showing a little intimate moment between the two leads.

So, overall, six out of ten.

Almost there

What if your life did come out to be as you had planned? Would you make a pact in order to get married before you turn 30?

A few days before her 29th birthday Kawai Yoshiko (Sakurako Ohara) gets dumpted by her long time boyfriend. And with one word all her dreams come tombling down.

With a few drinkls under her belt she makes an unexpected pact with a junior colleague from work. "If he cannot find a romantic partner before your 30th birthday, I will marry you instead!"

Yuki Masaomi (Matsuda Genta) has admired Yoshiko from afar for quite some time. He comes off as a cold yet very handsome man, but even when it comes to Yoshiko he is unable to really express what he is feeling much less what he wants.

Could this be the perfect way to show her how he really feels. Could he truely be the man she has alwasy wanted?

The Date of marriage

Warning: Spoilers
9/10 is my rating. This is a 2023 Japanese romance series with 8, 23 minute episodes.

First I provide a unique synopsis then review.

Synopsis

Kawai Yoshiko (Sakurako Ohara)had a clear life plan, originally she wanted to get Married at 26 then have her first child by 27 and her second child at 29. During her three year relationship, she adjusted when it was clear there wouldn't be a quick proposal. What she didn't account for was breaking up from a long term relationship with 30 year old birthday approaching. She was broken hearted enough that when she ran into her work colleague, Yuuki Masaomi (Genta Matsuda) on the way home, she poured her heart out to him. To her surprise, Yuki declares he will marry her the day before her 30th birthday if she doesn't find someone. Yoshiko thinks he is only saying that to comfort her and because he is confident she will find someone in the two years before she turns 30. He doesn't really want to marry her. Or does he?

Review

This is a very cute, straight forward romance with a happy ending.

Spoilers

I was glad she did not get back together with her ex. I thought they were headed for that but was really glad it did not materialize.

There was a separation, which I usually find annoying, but the way it came up, and how it played out, made sense.
