A common trope of J-drama characterization is when they introduce a shy, introverted and awkward character they will dress them in suitably dour/bland clothing so the viewer can ‘get” the person’s personality right away, but as the episodes go by, they will slowly start dressing them in brighter and more appealing clothes, making the viewer subconsciously warm up to them even if they don’t immediately realize it.
And so when the first episode of "Hajimete Koi wo Shita Hi ni Yomu Hanashi” started off showing Kyoko Fukada in smart but decidedly frumpy clothing which was thick and bulky:
...I knew that they would start slowly dressing her in more attractive clothing as it went on..
And indeed, as soon as they started introducing the romantic elements to the show, they began upping Kyoko’s wardrobe game, making her look more outgoing, but DAMN, by episode 6 I gotta say, this is getting out of hand- Kyoko’s character is supposed to be so awkward and inexperienced in love that she’s grown up believing no one could possibly be attracted to her, and while it may have been kind of believable in her first episode attire, LOOK AT HOW THEY’VE BEEN DRESSING HER in recent episodes:

COME ON, Kyoko is so damn radiant, vibrant and beautiful it is IMPOSSIBLE to fathom that this girl doesn't realize how attractive she is and that she hasn’t been getting hit on for YEARS by guys every day of her life! This is one FINE lookin’ lady!!!
And even in the classroom, Kyoko is a complete and utter smokeshow:

Man, no wonder all three main guys are going ga-ga over her lately- with a HOT teacher like THIS, it would motivate ANY guy to do his very best and go for the gold!!!
