I seriously had no idea what to expect going in. I haven't watched a Japanese drama in over 10 years, let alone a BL one but I was extremely surprised by how much I enjoyed this one. I was put off initially when the second male interest was so much older but by the end of ep 1 I was completely hooked. I found myself laughing so much. The characters were fantastic and really well acted. Most BL I've watched has really mediocre acting but the cast did a great job, despite the over the top Japanese tropes. I was very much invested in the 2 male leads and rooted for Maki like crazy. Their chemistry was fantastic and although Haruta is an idiot, he's super charming. I didn't love the last episode as much as I felt the whole wedding thing was unnecessary and tacky. The story isn't new or original but I'm a sucker for this type of story where the main lead learns to accept his feelings. The supporting cast was also great. When going into a BL, I have low expectations as they're typically very low budget with servicable stories, acting, directing and camera work but I can't stop gushing over this drama. I liked at the poster and cast for the second season and I don't think I can get myself to watch it. I'm so invested in and love Maki that I don't think I'm ready for him to not be with Haruta. Especially after all he went through.

This show isn't super deep with strong messages but I don't think it needs to be. It's very light, fluffy and heavy on comedy but it doesn't everything super well. The characters drive the drama and it wouldn't work if you're not invested in them. 7 episodes is short and typically BL dramas leave so much to desire, but I felt the length was completely fine. I wish they had more skinship and showing the leads in the relationship more, not necessarily bed scenes either. Also, I feel the show could've done better at depicting Haruta coming to terms with his feelings/sexuality and accepting them. My biggest issue with him was I felt at any moment he would just turn away from Maki and that he wasn't truly in love with him. His confusion and uncertainty came off a bit more as complacency and wanting comfort. I also got tired of the Chief by the end. His relentlessness got old and it's hard to believe H would just easily accept living with him, let alone accept the marriage especially after the whole debacle with the wife. But overall I had a really fun time watching this show and recommend it.
