A premise about an average guy slowly bonding romantically with angel-like girl may sound formulaic. And to some degree, it truly is, but not to a point of being painfully generic. If the formula is used healthily, the final product can still be rewarding.

The title and premise are an exaggeration – that the guy is ‘spoiled rotten’, generic, dense or mindless is a bit misleading. It’s just what he thinks and blames himself for it, so he tries to reciprocate all favors she voluntarily provides him with, and that slowly builds relationship between them. They are both humane and down to earth.

When they are together, they just chat most of the time, and that leads to a lot of very heartwarming and sweet moments; though sometimes, it leads to unnecessary nonplussed reactions. And some of the things they do (like petting head, cooking or holding hands) would suggest they are in a serious romantic relationship, but they always deny it, and so, their friends find it weird.

Though there are some glimpses of backstory, it is not expanded upon, which brings us to a lack of character development. The amount we are presented with is not enough to fully justify their circumstances and motivations. There’s something similar going with side characters – they are just there and we know almost nothing about them. But then again, they are just side characters, so maybe it’s not necessary.

Whether one enjoys the show or not, depends on how much one finds it heartwarming. One finds out right at the first episode. Even with all mentioned flaws, one would forgive them by the last episode, which is crucial for everything to unfold, bringing a satisfying conclusion.

Pros:
+ a lot of heartwarming moments
+ satisfying conclusion
+ dialogues

Cons:
- too many unnecessary nonplussed reactions
- needs expanding on backstories

Double-edged:
+/- side characters
+/- generic, but in a favorable way
+/- couple-like behavior despite not officially dating

8/10 (VERY GOOD)
