Zenkai Girl Episode 11 (Finale): Flashbacks, A Timeskip And A Kiss Worth Waiting For

ZenkaiFinale

OMG, they were killing us with the flashbacks. Dear writer, I know I’m not getting any younger (who is?) but my memory hasn’t failed me yet. CHILL OUT! Alright, that was exceptionally predictable and cliché-filled, wasn’t it? Like stuff we could see coming from a mile away but hoped our eyes were deceiving us. However, … Read more

Zenkai Girl Episode 10: Breaking Up Is Never Easy

Zenkai10

I really enjoyed this episode. I think I’ve already given up on seeing the kind of romance I would have liked a.k.a not the type where getting together is dragged till the very last minute but it’s all good. Loved all the Pitaro stuff. All the Hinata stuff too. And laughed at some of the … Read more

Zenkai Girl Episode 9: Shota Is A Jellyfish

feat

Yeah, jellyfish because he has no backbone. I go hard on men because I’m a woman and always side with my girls. But a strong woman needs a strong man. All that opposites attract BS does not apply to this. Sure, there will be some comparative advantages; sometimes a woman is strong where her man … Read more

Zenkai Girl Episode 8: More On A Father’s Love

feat

As I was watching this episode, I kept thinking, “Thanks for the life lesson but can someone make out already?”  It’s funny how when something happens to one character one week, it occurs the following week to another character.

Zenkai Girl Episode 6: It’s All About Family

feat

Okay, this episode is more about family love than Wakaba being a nutcase but seriously, Wakaba, what’s wrong with you?!!? *facepalm* *** So Wakaba awakes to find the shocking sight of Soyoko kissing Shota. The minute she looks away is the minute Shota wakes up and pushes Soyoko away. She stealthy tries to creep away … Read more

Zenkai Girl Episode 5: Confession Time!

feat

It was an episode of confessions but didn’t Hinata and Pitaro own it? *** The episode begins with the aftermath of Soyoko’s confession. The Divorced Dads are ecstatic for Shota and congratulate him when he returns to the restaurant. But their jubilation is very short-lived because he tells them that he turned her down. They … Read more

Zenkai Girl First Impressions: I Love It!

feat

I did a four-episode marathon and I freaking love it. It’s that simple. It’s a typical Japanese rom-com drama yet something about it is making me crazy for this couple. I think it’s a combination of their fantastic chemistry, the background music, those slow-mo scenes and the looks they trade. Plus I think the male … Read more
