‘Why didn’t I tell you a million times?’ (2023). Romantic Series on Netflix

Why didn’t I tell you a million times? is a Japanese series written by Naoko Adachi starring Mao Inoue, Takeru Satō and Kenichi Matsuyama.

Why didn’t I tell you a million times? This is Netflix’s commitment to the most realistic, sensitive (and cheesy) Japanese fiction, with a certain intention, especially when it comes to photography.

A series that is committed to romanticism, sentimentality and to win over “its” audience. Without dissimulation, neither in the music nor in the dialogues. It is a series with intimate touches that offers us a journey with emotions running high.

It knows how to change from its initial approach but without changing course too much, without disappointing those viewers who expect the sensitive rather than the spectacular.

It has the merit of unfolding at a good pace, of knowing how to win over the spectator in its slow and reflective narrative and, above all, of rendering characters who show themselves just as they are and who, without ulterior motives, will immerse the spectator in a journey towards nostalgia and emotions.

For those viewers who feel like it. Although we also understand those who prefer to run away and watch Die Hard again, which is also entertaining.
