Oh! My Tsundere! Love Is a Separate Volume

This drama was produced by the production staff of TBS Television (Japan)'s romantic drama An Incurable Case of Love, which was highly rated in the January 2020 season with Mone Kamishiraishi playing a rookie nurse.[3] It has no original story and is an original script by Shigenori Tanabe, who wrote the script for the An Incurable Case of Love spin-off drama.[3]

The drama, which depicts a young woman's work and love life, was well received by viewers and maintained a high average rating of over 10%, with the final episode recording the highest rating of 13.2%.[4]

On Filming the Drama edit

Prior to the drama's broadcast, producer Akiko Matsumoto said, "Mone Kamishiraishi is leading the production with her outstanding comedienne skills.[5] Nanao expresses a cool boss just by standing still. We asked Yuta Tamamori to play the difficult role of “a man like a puppy” this time, but he has turned out to be a puppy 120% of the time and is very cute,” she said.[6]

The “puppy-like man” appears as Nami imagines him to be, but Tamamori appears with ears and tail like a dog.[7][5]

Nanao, the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, spends about 1 million yen per pose each time she appears, and her outfits are chosen by a stylist. In episode 4, he even wore jewelry that cost over 10 million yen.[5]

The sets and props in the editorial office are also carefully selected. The cover of the first issue of the magazine depicted in the first episode was done by Leslie Kee, a photographer who actually shoots fashion magazine covers.[5] Such attention to detail is also a highlight of the drama.[5]

Differences from The Devil Wears Prada edit

Immediately after the drama began airing, some criticized the drama for being too similar to Andrea "Andy" Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, and Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep, in the movie The Devil Wears Prada with Nami and Reiko the editor-in-chief.[8][9]

However, the other axis of this drama, the love story, is somewhat fantastical and does not exist in The Devil Wears Prada, as Junnosuke, Reiko's younger brother and the son of a wealthy family, who is “like a puppy,” loves Nami with all his heart,[10] and Nakazawa, a talented senior at work, also has feelings for Nami.[11]

Despite being called a drama with a sense of deja vu, it was well received and maintained high viewer ratings. The highest viewer rating was achieved in the final episode, in which the main character achieves self-realization in her editing job and her love with Junnosuke is fulfilled.[4]

Synopsis edit

Nami Suzuki (Mone Kamishiraishi) was an ordinary woman who thought that normal was the best way to do everything. She had a crush on and wanted to marry her childhood friend Kenya,[12] so she moved to Tokyo from her native Kumamoto and planned to have a job interview in the facilities management department of a publishing company.[13]

However, she met Junnosuke (Yuta Tamamori) on a bridge. The bench there had a fresh coat of paint on it, and she sat down and soiled the clothes she was wearing for the job interview.[14] She lamented that she would not be able to go to the interview. Junnosuke then bought her luxury brand clothes and gave her a luxury brand bracelet he wore as a good-luck charm.[14]

After the interview, she was appointed not to the facilities management department but to the editorial department of a fashion magazine as an assistant to the editor-in-chief, Reiko Horai (Nanao), who had just returned from Paris.[15] Beautiful and able to do her job, Reiko's assistant was fiercely busy and she grumbles. However, Reiko reprimanded Nami for not taking her job seriously.

When Nami met Junnosuke again, he asked her to met his elder sister and pretend to be his girlfriend. However, the sister was Reiko, the editor-in-chief.[16] Their father was the president of a large company and came from a wealthy family.

At first, Nami thought that normal was good for everything, that she wanted to get married and lead a normal woman's life, but her encountered with Reiko and her colleagues in the editorial department changed her way of thinking and helped her to grow as a member of society. And through her romance with Junnosuke, she grows into an adult woman.[17]
