Review of Love Flops

Renai Flops is, as I'm sure you'll notice in just the first episode, a very standard rom com; except something is off. The first 5 or so episodes are a lot of set up and character building and it's well done. Eventually plot things start happening which and it's not egregious, but don't expect to be blown away either. At this point I was thinking I would be rating the show an 8 or possibly a 9 out of 10. The romance was solid and I was genuinely laughing at the jokes. They nailed both parts of the Rom and Com! Unfortunately, Renai Flops hits a...rocky patch, I'll call it, towards its conclusion. It felt like they were trying to make me care about what was going on. Funnily enough, I DID care about the plot and characters up until that point where I think their efforts had the opposite effect. The final episode to wrap things up is a step in the right direction and a... decent conclusion all things considered.

My legitimate recommendation for the optimal viewing experience? Watch the first 5 or 6 episodes and stop there. It's a 9/10.
As a complete package the full series is a weak 7/10, maybe a 6/10 depending on the day. Still an overall positive experience don't get me wrong, but it had a lot of wasted potential.
