Ideal Man is a 2021 Japanese drama directed by Ryo Miyawaki and written by Eriko Komatsu for television. The drama is based off the manga of the same name created by Chika. Misako Renbutsu, Masanobu Ando, Mina Fujii, Ryosuke Mikata, and Toshiki Seto were casted in the television adaptation.
A female in her thirties looks for the man of her dreams, all while juggling work, friends, and a Manga creator she met through her best friend.
Ideal Man is the kind of drama you sit down to watch after a long day of hardships. The viewer doesn't have to think about much because the plot isn't super complicated to understand. It's a romantic comedy that touches on the subjects such as, age, infidelity, and, communication. A lot of the problems that happen in the relationships are due to things not being said or something not being cleared up. It was like just when things were going well, awkwardness would come into play. You then sit there cringing until the next joke that you're clearly not in on(If you're nonJapanese) comes up. What I enjoyed most about Ideal Man was the writing's ability to keep a simplistic vibe about the show while quickly covering many topics in eight episodes. For such a short show with each episode being a half an hour, Ideal Man hits a heart string. The opening and closing themes fit the story's vibe too. I've never understood those who that turning age thirty is you being old..... Living just thirty years on this earth isn't very long....
I found the performances made the drama fun. There were different dynamics to the two "couples". Each had their own set of issues. The mystery what man sh would pick wasn't a mystery at all. The story lets on strong who she's into and I loved it because their relationship was outside the norm. In the regular world, She would have picked the obvious choice instead. Ando was defiantly the shining star of the cast. I like Misako as an actress I've seen in quite a bit of stuff over the years.
Ideal man is a mature drama for those who want to see a romance mixed with comedy bloom. It's not a hard drama to watch since it's not long. The characters also are likable.
