The drama follows Makoto who seemingly has the worst luck when it comes to women. It's not everyday you see a drama where God Himself appears to help two people fall in love. The plot-line of the drama is certainly a unique one. So while I won't be able to tell you how good or bad it was as compared to other typical J-dramas, I'll try my best to tell you what I enjoyed in this drama. When it comes to J-dramas, I would fall into the 'beginner' category. And fantasy dramas have a way of pulling me towards them like no other genre. Rewatch Value 7.0 I simply started this drama because it seemed like a rom-com with a perfect twist of fantasy. Only that, that same smirk is somewhat bittersweet in the final episode :(
I also like Yamapi's smirk when both of them are sitting in the couch, in the ED sequence. The dance was cute, and the song is pretty. I liked the different tasks Makoto had to do, since it all served for a reason. The story has the perfect amount of friendship (Makoto and his "rival", Haruko and Mitsue), good comradeship (Makoto and GOD, Makoto and his boss, Makoto and his coworkers), a nice rival (who is not really a rival, and who is just one of the nicest guys ever), present parents (who are there for their daughter).
If she agreed to be with him from the very beginning, I would have thought she was too naive and easy. It is expected of the girl to be cautious, to be in doubt. I think any girl, especially any girl with bad experience in love, would be wary of any guy, no matter how cute or honest he looks, who approaches her and tells her he is her destiny. I don't understand why some people say she was frustrating in the first couple of episodes. From certain angles, she looked like Maki. It may be her high cheekbones and sweet smile. Maybe Horikita Maki has retired, but Kimura Fumino looked a bit like Maki (in my opinion) in this dorama. Anyway, both of them were perfect in their roles, and their scenes together were so enjoyable to watch. And Yamapi, dead-fish-eyes Yamapi, whom I don't really like (although I can't hate either, since he is so calm, and, well, nice), was lovely as GOD. Kinda like his character in "One Pound Gospel", only less, LESS, enthusiastic. I much prefer Kame in this kind of role: honest, a bit enthusiastic, hard-working, a bit silly, a bit naive. Kame's and Yamapi's roles were perfect for them, and I could feel that they had fun working together again. As fan of NwP, I think this was a wonderful reunion. Rewatch Value 9.0 I am sad that this lovely dorama had low ratings.
