Typical BL

**Brief Synopsis**
B (Journalist): Onoe
T (Journalist): Kaburagi

Beginning: B and T are journalists in the same company. One day B is transfered to T's department and they are forced for to work together. T's job is to take pictures of celebrities and potential scandals. At first, T doesn't like B because he isn't used to this new position. B doesn't like T because he is player and thinks he's all that. But T starts proving himself to have a gentle and nice side.

Middle: They start getting more jobs together after the success of their first one. Soon they start developing feelings for each other but they show it in different ways. T kisses B and tells him it's because he wants to see how he would react. He confesses but B isn't sure what kind of like it was. They seem to ignore this confession and continue to work together.

End: The series ends with them finally addressing the confession after a while and sleep together.

**My Opinion**

THINGS I LIKED ABOUT IT
- The main couple look good together including the intimate scene, they look good together but this scene has no emotional impact on me because I wasn't invested in this couple.
- Relatively angst free viewing experience.

THINGS I DIDNT LIKE ABOUT IT
- Acting is bad when displaying complex emotions, making the scene feel unnatural.
- The lack of build up for the relationship. We have no idea how they fell for each other because there was no clue they even had feelings and the next episode B says he had fallen for T. T confesses as well but it just felt more like a joke because there was no buildup.
- The plot is predictable and cliche with no memorable moments.
- Lack of chemistry between the leads. They look really cute together but when they are together it's difficult to believe there was anything more then friendship.
- The development of the relationship confused me. The two MCs are emotionally stunted idiots who just won't talk to each other. The angst felt so forced it wasn't even funny. I felt absolutely nothing because this couple had no build up and given any reason why I should care. Their confession at the end mean nothing to me either. This whole love plot felt so forced and rushed it's not at all romantic.

**Conclusion**
Simple story with no memorable moments.
