Coffee and Vanilla

7.,5/10 is my rating. This is a 2019 Japanese drama With 10, 25 minute, episodes. Risa Shiroki (Haruka Fukuhara ) is a shy, naive 20-year-old university student. Originally from the countryside, she moved to the big city, Tokyo, to attend a university. Risa gets constant male attention as she is really pretty and nice and struggles to avoid the many advances. As she is uncomfortably on the run from one amorous suitor, Hiroto Fukami (Dori Sakurada) steps in and pretends he is just late meeting her. Looking handsome and suave in a business suite, the 30-year-old Immediately catches Risa’s interest. Risa and Hiroto are very different she is naive and innocent and he is worldly with a dark past. This drama is based on the manga series "Coffee & Vanilla" by Takara Akegami.

spoiler 🚨 I was really surprised how risqué this was. Their relationship turns physical really quickly. I felt a little frustrated with her total lack of confidence. He is gorgeous and it was a bit challenging to understand what he saw in her. It was entertaining and interesting for me to watch a Jdrama as I watch mostly Korean dramas. I enjoyed it. It just lacked complexity and character development. It ended well which I find important.
