Eye Love You

I get that this TV series was aired in primetime, when youngsters are still awake to watch, I also understand the conservatism of east Asia's society. But the FL is 30 years old by her own admission and the ML is 26. I don't expect nor wish for raunchy, vulgar scenes. However when the two leads join lips in what couldn't even be called a peck. When the FL acts like a preteen, it detracts from the story, and insults viewers' intelligence. This is a woman who is a CEO. The ML is a PhD candidate. Then too make matters worse the ML's friend and colleague acts like he's in 5th grade. I couldn't finish the series. It was just too silly and childish.

Japanese Drama '' Eye Love You '' is a fantasy-office romance with a cute couple, but a messy fantasy story.

First of all, the love story was enjoyable. The couple had chemistry, which aided the drama a lot, and the comical misunderstandings were cute. The second couple was entertaining as well.

The office drama was also nice and the relationship between father and daughter was so sweet!

However, the fantasy element was all over the place. The drama seemed to forget about it for most of the series' length, and then, they tried to add some melodrama to it towards the ending, but they only ended up mishandling the whole affair.

Finally, the performances were great by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, six out of ten.

If you accept the premise of this series, it could be very sweet.

Yes, Yuki's character may be a bit overplayed by the actress, but I think Tae-Oh is one of the most charming characters I've seen. He's so encouraging and adorable that I melt. It's perhaps a bit too unbelievable that he ends up as an intern at Yuki's workplace - but again, if you accept the premise and view this series as very light-hearted entertainment, it can work.

I really enjoyed watching this series and loved the inclusion of Korean language, culture, and since I know some Korean myself, it was fun to hear Tae-Oh's thoughts in Korean - especially when I don't understand a word of Japanese like the other characters speak in the series.

There are far too few series out there where the main character falls in love with someone from another culture - there should be more of that, and I think this series is a sweet little contribution to that.

I found this to be a totally enjoyable drama, I personally rate it much higher than what it currently is ranked at on this website. Its charming and sweet, its not heavy at all. It's perfect for a lazy Sunday binge watch!

It never tries to do too much, maybe people were expecting something deeper, but I personally think it works well just the way it is.

I didn't see any of the "over-acting" from Fumi Nikaido that I keep reading in these reviews, I think she did her job perfectly. ML was charming as well, and the second couple added just the right amount of comedy. If you like romcoms then you will enjoy this series, definitely give it a try !!

Maybe this could have worked - despite the silly premise - but the FL hams it up to such an extent that your attention is distracted constantly.

She reacts to every situation with jerky head movements and over pops her eyes at every opportunity. She acts like a two year old in the cleaning up leaves scene and gets angry when she is hungry to a nonsensical degree. When she is eating she grins idiotically.

She is a terrible actress.

The story - if one can call it that - deals with the fact that although she can read the minds of others she can't read that of the ML. After first meeting him as a delivery boy - coincidence is stretched to the limit when he becomes an intern at her company.

For his part the FL is a pleasant enough character and acts with restraint and believability with the silly situation. Of course there is a third wheel in the shape of her boss who also seems to like her and a fourth one in a co-worker who is attracted to the ML.

This is candyfloss entertainment with no substance and no plausibility - don't expect anything and you wont be disappointed.
