soom Apr 03 2025 11:06 pm Great series with good stories each episode. Ensemble cast is very capable. Aiji Akaso really shines with his particular style of body language and delivery.
I agree this Japanese drama style is a breath of fresh air from formulaic K-dramas where scripts just seam to tick boxes on a long list of tropes siting "tradition".
I like the OST for its non-syrupy musicality and tone. That just gets old, and I'm glad production team avoided that trap. Thumbs up !!
wafi Feb 23 2025 1:33 am Good plot and well made cast, a really fresh character
Raven Feb 16 2025 8:11 am Stumbled upon this gem while scrolling randomly through Netflix and found myself eagerly anticipating the next episode, since I only caught episode 1! Eiji Akaso is a breath of fresh air, a sight for sore eyes and yummy eye candy all in one! This is a refreshing break from my Kdrama’s usual formulaic storylines and familiar faces, and pulls me through waiting for new episodes. I’m surprised to be the first to comment here ?
