I didn`t grow up with this drama - So I`m less lenient

Like the headline reads, while I definitely grew up on Japanese dramas(like Hana Yori Dango, Last Cinderella, Mei-chan no Shitsuji...) I didn`t grow up on this one. I did hear about it a lot. Horikita Mari, Oguri Shun, Mizushima Hiro and Ikuta Toma are all actors I immensely enjoy watching. They are, to me, like an OG group of Japanese dramas and whenever I see them in something, it reminds me of my childhood. That being said, this drama should still appeal to me. For some odd reason, I find cosplaying female characters very interesting to watch, because situations that arise always draw out at least a chuckle out of me.(plus, movie "She`s the Man" is one of my favorite comedies of all time). It, for some reason, doesn`t as much as I thought it would, especially since, apart from the cast, I like some of the mangaka`s work this drama is based on.

The plot points, the ending, the comedy and the actions characters take are all too familiar and though that isn`t an excuse, they aren`t as well executed as I thought they would be. Just physically, Horikita Mari is a bad option for a believable male cosplay since she is obviously, very feminine-looking, even though she is talented, no question about it. I don`t know, guess it just doesn't possess that magic of nostalgia to make me see this drama as that golden nugget.
