Sweet Japanese adaptation

This was a cute adaptation of She Was Pretty. There were a few minuses for me, but overall, I enjoyed it.

Male lead wasn't nearly as awful in this version. The first few episodes, yes, but then even when he was being a little mean to her, it was because of her work, plus I think he was trying to come to terms with his feelings for her. I really liked that he liked her before her transformation.

In every version of this show, I've had a problem with the friend and what she did. I mean, true friends don't do that. In this version, it bothered me even more, because she just let it get out of hand. And then when she was running away to avoid talking to her friend, that was just too childish.

I didn't have SLS in this version at all, he was just too immature.

One thing about Japanese shows, they spend a LOT of time apologizing to each other. It seemed especially prevalent in this show.

As with most other Asian dramas, there was the obligatory time jump, which I hate. It's always, "I love you and can't live without you, but I'm leaving for a couple of years. See ya!" It was a cute ending, but very rushed.
