The story started off quite fun and interesting but then quickly deteriorated into a boring series of repetitive mistakes and indecision by the lead character - a boy essentially trapped in a 30-yr old body with sexual urges. The manga version would have been more fun but this dramatization became utterly senseless bcos of its repetitive themes. He's hot for 3 women in the beginning but at the end, he's back at square zero. And I do mean ZERO.
It would have been more fun if the drama detracted slightly from the manga and presented itself like American Pie but ultimately it fell flat due to its over-pretentious take at romance and making choices split among 3 women. While it may appeal to male virgins aged 40 and above, this drama does nothing except for the fact that 2 of the 3 women kept me watching this drama till the boring end. The 2 actresses were splendid in their roles and more than just eye candy, they gave me the motivation just to watch their (predictable) reaction and rejection of the douchebag male character.
You'd notice that the writer of this drama is also the director and so it just feels coincidental it may have been a biopic of his own wimpy past. Hurray for male wimps! Unite and die!
