Drama Review: Coffee and Vanilla

Coffee and Vanilla (jdrama) 10 episodes 

Rika is a shy college student. Then she meets Fukami-san who saved her from the advances of another man. Or did he really? For mature audience only. 


This is based on smutty manga by Akegami Takara. It's so weird to watch a smutty manga turned drama. I don't have a problem with smutty manga even if all they do is just have sex or they have sex right away since that is the whole point of being smutty. But now that I get to see one as live-action my brain had a hard time processing it. They recreated the manga scenes as shown in the credits and it is so awkward and artificial. I realized how I have romanticized smutty manga since its too cringey irl. There's no nudity but a lot of implied sex and scenes that are best left on manga.

I hated the main characters. The two of them remind me of sheep and wolf. Fukami-san is the hungry, lone wolf ravishing the very meek as lamb, Rika. But I've seen the two actors in another reverse harem drama Good Morning Call so it's not really their fault. If you were rooting for them in GMC, this more than makes up for it. By the way, I love Fukuhara Haruka's (Rika) fashion in the sequel Good Morning Kiss and now in Coffee and Vanilla too.   

The first poster above is the culprit that got me to watch it. As I progress over the episodes I was hoping for it to be not a reverse harem. I know there was no turning back when the third guy entered the picture. But as much as I hate this drama, the only thing that I approve of ironically is the same third guy who got me into the point of no return. He's good looking and the bad boy type. I hope he gets cast in a similar role in another reverse harem which is wishful thinking because that never happens. It's the same with me wishing me for a similar Yoo Ah-in as Moon Jae-shin from Sungkyunkwan Scandal and Yosuke Sugino as Natsume from Good Morning Kiss. I could never get the same giddy feelings with their other dramas.

I don't know how I was able to finish it but yeah it's probably because it runs for half an hour only. It had so many moments where I was like please don't go there. The story dragged on when it could have ended already. I'm grateful that they showed the scenes from the manga that they recreated so I can be more forgiving.

It was only a few months ago that I posted that I can't remember the last time I hated a drama like Lascivious Lady and here we are again. I realized the reason why I rarely post dramas that I hate is that I just don't pick up the drama again when I lose interest. But now that I am trying to be current with seasonal shows it's inevitable we get disappointment like this.

Just a heads up! Moving forward all mature reviews will be posted on Patreon. I'm still undecided if I will eventually move this to Patreon too. And I don't know when but I'll also transfer previous mature-themed reviews too.
