Meanwhile her neighbor Mirai is not happy with the changes in Mairu.  Back then I always wonder if it was a reverse harem because of the wallpapers. And I feel a special connection to this even though I haven't read the manga. I'm happy it got a drama adaptation when normally I would always root for the animation route.  This may be tied with 3B no Koibito as my favorite among the first impressions from Winter Reverse Harem 2021 .

This is a cdrama remake of Sungkyunkwan Scandal kdrama.  First things first. Sungkyunkwan Scandal is one of my all-time favorite reverse harem kdrama. But with the  Levels of Reverse Harem , it's now under two flowers (only 2 guys are interested in her). I was excited at first when I first saw the remake news but then I remembered how disappointed I was with the last two wuxia  I've seen so this time I tried to be indifferent.
