Falling in love at
first sight, Koyurugi Souta (Matsumoto Jun) spends most of his time around her
because it makes him happy and he wants to make her his girlfriend. And after
more than three years of courting he finally manages to date her for two months.
But after being dumped, Takahashi Saeko (Ishihara Satomi), tells him that she
never even thought of him as a boyfriend. When he comes home he spends days in
his room, and while continuously thinking about her, he is reminded that she
likes a special sort of chocolate which is only made in Paris, France. He then
decides to leave Japan in order to work at the store making that very type of
chocolate, so he can bring it back and make it for her.
Six years later he
returns to Japan, looking forward to seeing her again, opening up his own
chocolate store, only to find out that she is engaged to get married. But still
he is not able to stop loving her, and when Saeko keeps sending mixed signals,
Souta is getting confused. So he decides to change his personality in order to
make her fall in love with him: to become a bad boy, which he believes is her
type.
But when he meets
Elena (Mizuhara Kiko) he is surprised to find out that he isn’t the only one
with unrequited feelings, and for some reason he is able to talk to Elena like
he never was able to do before.
Will his heart change
for Elena, or will he make Saeko fall in love with him?
Another drama like
Summer Nude, except this one made me hungry. The concept of being heartbroken
was so deep in this drama I still am stunned that they had it go through all 11
episodes. I mean the beginning was kind of funny, but not only did they drag it
on, they honestly made me dislike the main couple. I heard people disliked the
main actress in the beginning and liked her later on. I did not like her AT
ALL. I felt she was a brat from beginning to end. Matsumoto’s character was
kind of okay in the first few episodes, but he got on my nerves. Honestly at
the end, everyone got on my nerves. The entire drama did. Like a bunch of
people not knowing what they want and having weird ideas of how to fix things
or make others like them. Oh man. Though I liked the more realistic view of how
these couples behave. Like no over protective personalities, or just simple kisses.
To sum up, I wouldn’t
watch it again.
