Synopsis

Junichi is a scout recruiting girls for work in night clubs; but in contrast to what he does, he is actually a sentimental person at heart. Nanami, who is a music teacher at a junior high school, wishes that something would happen to change the course of her ordinary life. Being from a high-class family and having committed to an arranged marriage with a government official, she and the street smart Junichi are from two different worlds. Their initial meetings always ended in disdain for the other, but when Junichi helps her find some sheets of music precious to her, she begins to think that he could change her life. Although it goes against everything that her upbringing has taught her, Nanami decides to give him a chance.

I love Sorimachi and I love Tsuruta. And Ifll never, for the life of me, understand why they chose to do this ridiculous drama. Itfs so ridiculous Ifm not sure what else to say about it in this review.

Except, the ending theme is great. Everything else is garbage. Literally (ref: last scene).

If you want a good drama, go watch Cheap Love right now!... Although sometimes the plot gets too serious, the drama is really good, every episode is exciting and makes you want to watch more.. not to mention the most important: the cast is fantastic and their characters are really captivating!.. I can ensure you- if you watch this high-quality dorama it'll definitely become a memorable one!! Don't miss it!~

A so-so drama

This show is neither too romantic nor too action packed. Kinda leads you wondering. Watched it because of Sorimachi. Slightly entertaining.
