A Girl & Three Sweethearts (2016)

Synopsis

A patissier named Misaki (Kiritani Mirei) is fired from her job and runs into her first love, Chiaki (Miura Shohei), who invites her to work for his family's restaurant for the summer. She agrees and hopes to become his girlfriend until she meets his younger brothers, Kanata (Yamazaki Kento) and Touma (Nomura Shuhei). 

Exciting moments

I picked this drama because I'm a Kento fan and I was extremely excited after the first episode. There were many Kento scenes right away. If he is in a drama, then it's usually exciting, even if the plot sucks. Unfortunately, he couldn't save this one. There were many exciting moments in the first couple of episodes, but down below I will explain why things went south.

The cons

 Unfortunately, the excitement of this drama fizzled out around episode six or seven. Kanata was made to be a cold-hearted character, but he was so cruel toward Misaki for most of the drama that it turned me off completely. We've all seen these types of characters who are brooding, won't let people into their hearts and hides their true emotions. Sometimes it works, but not for this drama.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Misaki was a bit irritating at times. I love Japanese dramas because I find the characters are usually over the top and expressive, but I don't like when characters go overboard on yelling and crying. I wish she was a stronger character. She did stand up for herself a lot, but as I said before, Kanata was too heartless.

Overall thoughts

My excitement turned into disappointment as the story went on. Instead of creating a special bond between Misaki and Kanata, they completely dropped the ball. There are ways of creating a misunderstood character such as Kanata without using the "I need to push you away and treat you like shit so you'll be happy without me" plot that plagues WAY too many dramas. I enjoyed the beginning, but I wouldn't recommend this drama in the end.

Final Score: 2 Pulses out of 5

Kiss-O-Meter

2/5

There are two kisses in this drama and one is out of spite.
