Aragaki-san once again plays a professional woman, harried by both work and personal life, who falls for a guy with issues. And she does it well.
"Kemono ni Narenai Watashitachi" does not actually translate into "Weakest Beast", so it's a very strange translation; in fact, it gives the wrong impression totally opposite to the real title.
Full disclosure: I'm a big fan of Aragaki Yui, so all of my reviews of her movies or TV series are going to be a bit biased. Still, I try to be brutally honest.
The Good: What I like about this series is that it shows the downside of working in Japan, the true reality of some families, the challenges of modern-day relationships, and much more.
The Bad: There isn't much to dislike. However, Japanese TV dramas like to use old and tired tropes, and this series is no different. The ending, too, is too predictable and formulaic.
Overall, though, "Weakest Beast" is an enjoyable series and continues to showcase the talent of Aragaki Yui and other actors. I just hope she's not going to get type-cast.
