I Mean, I Want to Say I Like It(2021)

I Mean, I Want to Say I Like It is a Japanese series that pairs two people bound by a shared past. Chitose, a former bullying victim turned talent manager, finds herself managing Kaito, a domineering actor who tormented her during childhood. Their complicated dynamic forces both to confront old wounds and unspoken feelings. As Chitose navigates the demands of her job while keeping her history with Kaito private, tension builds between professional duty and personal resentment. The series explores whether redemption and connection are possible when your past refuses to stay buried. With sharp dialogue and emotional depth, it examines how people change—or don't—and whether second chances can transform a painful history into something unexpected.
