And I'm not really all that great with cheesy things, but this pulled it off sooo. Intriguing and incredibly cheesy, but in a nice way. Well- probably apart from the scenes of my favourite couple. I think this show has a decent rewatch value even if I won't be seeing it again. I also kind of wished that they had been given proper closure in the end. They really got my heart beating faster whenever they kissed or whenever they fell on each other. This show gets an 8 mainly for Sho and Chisato. In any way, they are definitely one of my favorite Jdrama couples.

Also their forbidden romance as stepmom and son was a great compelling factor to root for them. Chisato and Sho had great chemistry with each other and I wished they had focused more on that. One of the biggest cons of the show is its lack of romance. Even though they had very few scenes, they were all memorable to me. My FANGIRL highlights: I probabaly liked Chisato and Sho scenes the best. Other than that, the Shinzo flashbacks also got boring after a certain number of episodes.

Had they finished it in 9 episodes instead of 11, it would have been an excellent show. The pacing of the show was good uptil the eighth episode but after that it got too dragged. The character development of all the characters was present until the end. He is completely different from how he was in Koizora. They are all good actors and I was surprised at Seto Koji's performance. He was hard to stand in Ouran High School Club Host too. This show did permanent damage to his image in my mind and I probably won't watch something that he stars in in the future again. I don't know why he ends up being the most annoying in every show that he acts in. I tried not to be, but ended up being biased this time around too. I wasn't pleased with the presence of Yamamoto Yusuke. I also loved Kaname Jun- he was a real eye candy on the show. And I was so glad to see Mukai Osamu whom I had liked in Seigi No Mikata as well. Horikita Maki has probably acted in the best Jdramas. It was easier to enjoy this show because I was so familiar with the cast. So that is why this comes one level higher than the others. They had some fresh jokes to offer and thank goodness for the fact that the expressions weren't as overdone as I have seen in other Jdramas.

The premise of the story is hilarious and all the episodes made me laugh. I enjoyed it right from the first scene itself. Rewatch Value 7.0 Atashinchi no Danshi has one of the best and original storylines I have that I have come across in the dramas that I have seen.
