Fan reviews: Cupid no Itazura

Strange topic but even given that, the plot felt half-baked and the acting wasn't too convincing....IMO, not worth your time

If Ifm completely honest with myself, I actually enjoyed Cupid no Itazura. Not because I was a fan of the cast, and not at all because itfs exceptionally written and produced. The first six or so episodes were hard to swallow because they were so bizarre. There is nothing at all enjoyable about watching a 21-year-old virgin masturbate in every single episode. But after the sixth episode, a solid love story begins to arise. I wasnft too blown away with the main characterfs performance, or with Akiyama Rinafs (in fact, I found her completely annoying). But I WAS impressed with Kitagawa Hiromi. Not only was she physically cute and lovable, but also she portrayed her character very well. I was surprised at how talented she is considering the type of drama I was watching, but she really did convince the viewers that she was, in fact, Aysumi-chan.

So taking out all the hand-jobs and the concept of a disease called gRainbow Ballsh(bleh), I did find the love story intriguing and angst riddenc just the way I like it. The sub-plot concerning Aysumi-chanfs lover and his wife was also interesting. It made all the other discrepancies and randomocities (and there were A LOT) kinda forgivable.

Would I watch this drama again? Probably not. But because of the love story, I enjoyed it while it lasted.
