Acting/Cast: A very good cast. The main characters were very believable and unique. Each character had his/her own personality that was portrayed very well and made the drama interesting.
Music: Very suiting. However, they could have used more variety.
Overall: I would watch this drama again. My rewatch value is low for most shows I watch. Even though I give it a high rating, it doesn't mean that it leaves a "wow" impression - so this one is not too bad.

At the beginning of the ep I was afraid this was gonna be a Protect the Boss-wannabe drama. You know, the fussy, rich and somewhat rude boss on one hand and the poor, hard-working and vexed employee on the other.
Hyuga Toru also has an inability, the prosopagnosia (He has problems remembering faces), which draws his character closer to Cha Ji Heon in Protect the Boss, even if the latter has agoraphobia. Or fear of speaking in front of crowds, can’t remember well now. But still.
It seems to me that more and more characters, if they’re meant to be the cocky main lead, they have to have some clinical problems. I mean, LOL.
Take also Hwang Tae Kyung in You’re Beautiful: he suffers from the fear to be infected or get dirty by other people, several allergies, night blindness, problems of social relationship since he avoids physical contact and has problems dealing with feelings. Oh, and he’s obsessed with order and perfection
So.
I’d say Hyuga Toru is not the worst complexed guy in dramas :D
The only thing that disappointed me is that they keep making ARATA look like an ojisan. It really gets on my nerves, because I’ve known him with Snakes & Earrings and he was so charming back then. I liked him in Blue Automobile, too. But in Hanamizuki and Mitsu no Aji they glued to him that ojisan-feeling, as if he weren’t young and able to be cool anymore.

Despite of how great Oguri Shun's acting is taking a Steve Job's look-a-like role in this drama, after his character Hyuga Toru starts working together with Sawaki Chihiro the drama becomes quite boring. Their love grows very slow. Instead, there are lots of office/business scenes which is not my cup of tea. The interesting things in this drama are the secret of who Sawaki Chihiro really is, and the business conspiracy inside the company. However, I don't like how they redeem this scheme in the end.

Not first drama of this genere
Having already watched both the Korean and Thai versions, I didn't find this drama as captivating, although I thoroughly enjoyed the Korean adaptation. Nonetheless, I wasn't disappointed by this rendition and found myself smiling at several scenes. While it didn't bore me, I must admit that the Korean version remains superior in my eyes.About acting , both the leads were best.

That's a japanese drama that you cannot see all day. Personally, I've felt in love with this drama.
This one can surpass the beloved Korean nowdays dramas. I say that you must watch it.
