That awkward moment when the "freakishly tall" character is almost a foot shorter than you...
This is one of those shows you can figure out if you're gonna like it or not just by watching the first episode. Just your typical rom com with a VERY overdone "will they or won't they" that's played out for 24 episodes when the outcome was so incredibly obvious that it all could've been done in just 1. While I definitely think the episode count could've been trimmed down, each episode is still incredibly fast-paced and jam-packed with various scenarios and set pieces; albeit very samey scenarios and set pieces. The visual gags were also a lot more over the top than I was expecting. Nothing "laugh out loud" funny, but I can see it being that for somebody else. There's also some, shall we say, very dated writing in it, just a friendly warning. The dub, which came out 20 years after the original show thankfully makes an attempt to fix some of these issues and make it more accessible to a modern audience. But if you'd rather just avoid the show altogether due to these stereotypes, I completely understand. In the end, it all just boils down to whether or not you enjoy romances that involve two people teasing, fighting, and insulting one another until they get together in the end, or couples that... actually like each other.
