Not even a second of yelling. I can watch this show 10 times for my immersion. Thank you, Netflix Philippines. Please bring more Japanese dramas like this!

Good Enough
PennyReviews11 April 2019
Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu or I'm taking the day off, had nothing original to offer. Actually, only the side stories were funny and spiced up the, otherwise, basic plot.

So, the story talks about the romance between a thirty year old office worker who had never dated before and a twenty year old college student. The plot would ahve been nice, if they explored the relationship and its consenquences for them and the people around them. But, that never happened. Actually, the only enjoyable part was how the leading lady always overthough things and she actually calculated the relationship based on logic rather than feelings.

In addition, the overall performances were good, and that helped the drama. So, five out of ten.

It was okay

So I spent two days watching this short series.

The beginning of the drama was tolerable until the relationship got toxic. Like the first review said, it lacks unique plot but other than that, this drama kept romanticizing things that shouldn't be treated as one. This is the first Japanese Drama that I have watched and yet it lacks a lot for me. However, I have to praise the actors for doing such a great act still.

Sadly Average Story

Personally i adore Ayase Haruka, but watching this to me didn't really help shows her acting ability to a maximum potential. The chemistry between the leads are also feel rather forced than natural, and to keep things worst is the chemistry between the two leads also kinda dull. On the other hand, it would be more realistic if the female lead would end up with the CEO rather giving up her future to a colleague boy, that would be more realistic in my opinion.

So overall its kinda an average story that didn't shows any suprise plot or ending. But if you just looking for a "not to serious" drama, this would be it.
