Otto no chinpo ga hairanai

If you can bear through the slow moments you will find a sweet, sometimes painful sad tale of a couple that cannot consummate their relationship. Although they find their own version of happiness in the end, you are still left wishing things would go differently for them. The story does drag at times, only because it does show the mediocrity of day to day life which is not always fun ir action packed. Worth giving a try if you like alternative type drama.

I loved slow immersion into Japanese culture that the story about young couple presented. Regardless of plausibility of the problem the couple was having, the story has shined a different light on eternal question "What is love?". Very good acting.

Yes it's a bit slow but it was very interesting. There acting was fine. The story was actually really good.

I didn't expect it to be so good. A fair warning, this is not a show for the shallow people. This is a show that's slow with very intriguing dialog between two people in love and that's it, don't expect much more. The story's main problem is not common, and therefore hard to relate with.

I'm not sure what to make of this series - is it a comedy, a tragedy, or just a really honest look at Japanese culture and society? In any case, it is heartfelt and in many ways quite a realistic look into the sometimes dysfunctional Japanese relationship.

One cannot help but feel sorry for the protagonist and to a lesser degree her husband. If only there was more honest and open communication, and less sexual repression, then much of the frustration might have been avoided or mitigated.

Oh well, that's Japan for you. And that is why this series about alienation and loneliness deserves a high rating.
