First Impressions: Mairunovich, Girl2k and Celestial Authority Academy Episodes 1-3

Mairunovich jdrama / based on manga  Kinoshita Mairu is popular as "poison mushroom" (a pun for 'ugly'). She meets Tenyu who gives her a makeover. She's able to have the confidence to go on dates and meets Naru. 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 . And this is the drama among the winter lineup where the reverse harem is not really defined. There are three guys alright but it's not marketed blatantly as a reverse harem and it's taking its time for the main characters to build romantic feelings which I appreciate. Some of the reverse harem from winter are sho...

First Impression: Fling at Convenience Store Eps 1- 3 / And a possible 7th reverse harem for Winter 2021, 300 Year-Old Class of 2020

Yeo Joo Ah is the forever convenience store worker. She meets four guys in the store...sweet manager Kim Donghyun, tsundere part-timer Jung Su Bin, puppie cutie toyboy Bong Jaehyun and chic mint chip squad, Jung Wooseok.  It's the return of idols as actors on web dramas. The four guys are from different idol groups.  The teaser is so powerful. You can sense the electricity in the air when one after another the guys folded their fingers to show that they have feelings for someone in the room. And well it's just her and the four guys.  It's an interactive drama where the fans can vote who they want for her to choose. I don't know who am I going to choose yet?? The mint guy has a distracting foundation but his episode made me give him some slack. And sorry, I'm not really into puppy guy either. Definitely a toss between tsundere and then the owner then but I still have yet to watch their episodes. Who would you choose? Sorry for getting your hopes high but it looks lik...

First Impressions: 3b no Koibito eps 1- 3 and Life of Namjoo ep 1-4- early favorites for Winter 2021/girls get dumped and a warning, then meet 3 men

3b no Koibito Eps 1-3 Jdrama/Based on Manga   Haruka Kobayashi had a case of runaway groom and haven't found luck with love since then. Her friend warned her to avoid 3B at all cost: bandman, beautician and bartender. And of course, she finds herself living with all three men.  This is my favorite among all the winter reverse harem dramas I've seen so far. And this is the first time I'm watching so many reverse harem all at the same time.  Six. Reverse. Harem. Dramas. @.@ (Including 38-sai from Fall and not including Mairunuvich)   Is the so-called 3B boys really a thing in Japan?  I don't know why but I loved that the guys are dating other women and it's refreshing for all the guys to be unreliable. It's hilarious when Haruka shuts them down like with Haruhi to the Ouran boys. She seems an airhead at the start when she thought the beautician is asking for her number but later on she sees through them. No favorite 3B yet but I'm kinda afraid of the bartende...

First Impressions: No Going Back Romance and Unique Lady/Lascivious Lady Season 2 eps 1-3

No Going Back Romance kdrama- 10 episodes So Dam was sleeping in the classroom but she remembers someone confessing to her. She's now trying to figure out who among her three classmates is in love with her. It is short and easy to watch. It's only 10 episodes with 12 minutes run time.  The heroine is so young and innocent-looking that I want to put her inside my pocket. The president is cute but so was the locker guy. There are so many sweet and spicy situations even if it's super short. The only reason I'm not in a hurry to watch it is because of my backlog for fall and winter huhu There were just so random scenes from episodes 2 and 3 which I don't know what the purpose for. The short airtime I guess made it seem so out of the blue. I'm surprised that we don't have much of this trope but if you are looking for something similar I recommend a drama which I have not watched (LOL) but I think the premise is the same, Kiss Scene in Yeonnamdong.  Unique Lady/La...
