Stayed for the acting

The show screams manga adaption with exaggerated acting and bizarre storyline, therefore, the drama indicates for you not to take it too seriously.

I was considering dropping this series because I crave character growth and prefer a clear takeaway from the message of the show. What made me continue watching was mainly the acting of Yamada Yuki. Coincidently I had recently finished watching American Psycho, which is why I wanted to see how he delivers and explores his character till the end. I ended up enjoying his performance and found myself resonating with a few of his internal struggles.

The drama starts to pick up pace as it explores and introduces other characters in the mix.
Moral of the story is everybody has a different side: some who hide it, some who show it.
We are not one dimensional, and it fits the saying 'Don't judge a book by its cover.'

Overall, I enjoyed the comedic aspect of the drama despite its odd and creepy moments. I believe the ending suits and wraps the story nicely.

If you are expecting major character development or a built love story, then this drama might not be for you.
