Gibo to Musume no Blues Episodes 1-6

WHAT IS IT?

Its a family dorama about this career woman played by Ayase Haruka who gets married to Takenouchi Yutaka who has a daughter and the story is about the relationship between stepmother and stepdaughter.


THE GOOD

+ I really liked Ayase Haruka's career women using her skills to try to navigate being a mother. She does a much better job of showing her 'salaryman-ness' compared to the main character in Youjo Senki who did not act much like a salaryman anyway. Anyway, its a fun spin on the housewife genre.

+ I really liked the Ayase Haruka vs PTA episode.


+ The daughter's relationship with Hiroki-kun is fun.

+ Daughter doesn't act like an adult in a kid's body.

+ Watching the influence that Ayase Haruka has on her daughter.

THE BAD

- No chemistry at all between Takenouchi Yutaka and Ayase Haruka.

- Ayase Haruka vs PTA was too short.

- Takenouchi Yutaka's character is too bland.

- Ayase Haruka still looks the same after the time jump.

THE UGLY

= Kenshin playing the stupid character who keeps screwing up his job. After 6 episodes, I am sick of him and do not like the fact he seems to play a big role in episode 7 and in the future. Is he going to be the one pop Ayase Haruka's cherry? Ugh. No thanks.

SUMMARY

Watchable show but I'm not too excited about its future.

  1. I'm kinda sad Kenshin took on that role. It looks meh. I assume the daughter is not the annoying brat who objects to everything just for kicks?

    I thought this was for a specific reason, but I have to watch more episodes. (I read a spoiler.)

  3. Until the end of episode, i just realized that i feel so touched with the story between akiko with ryoichi. That is fantastic love story, its romantic with their way but so sad at the same time. In fact, i want more their scene, but the story just so great with the epic ending.

      I was crying at mid-series, because the most unexpected romance just stole my heart! Despite the evident lack of romantic feelings at the start, it grew into something more, something heartwarming....Ryuichi gave Akiko what she never had. At that point I really wished Sat Takeru's character was some elf with power to bring miracles.
