Lovable Characters are the Strength of this Bromance

It's a simple plot but the characters are likable and engaging. Naoya (Sato Yusuke) plays a strong lead as a guy who has no baggage about liking guys --- Kota (Sota Ryosuke), in this case. Kota is "questioning" his same sex attraction, and this is fine but his character is just a little too slapstick -- and that's the main failing of this drama, it can't seem to find the right tone. Is it a serious drama or a farce? Thankfully the Naoya character keeps us grounded for most of the series. There are a few secondary characters that seem unnecessary and overly slapstick. The sub-plot of the "lucky" vs "unlucky" wears thin quickly and should have been dropped at mid-point, but I suppose that's going to be the payoff where the "unlucky" guy finally get's lucky? Like the story, the music score is pretty subtle but perfect for this kind of drama. Overall I'd love to see these characters in a more inwardly focused story -- like two guys on a camping trip, removed from the cliche themes of university life. And despite my reservations about the slapstick moments, Sota Ryosuke plays them well.
