So much potential, sadly no chemistry

I came for the intriguing drama name but only stayed because it was so short and I had run out of chores to do.

The BL story is simple, a lonely man makes a wish at a shrine and suddenly he finds himself in a parallel world - the perfect version of his own life. Here he is a valued member of the sales team that in his previous life he’d only stood at the periphery of. The man he has feelings for returns them and his customers respect his knowledge and understanding. However, it doesn’t take him too long to realise that he misses the life he had before and that with a little mindset change he could have exactly what he wants if he returned. But can he return? Will he step up and be the man he needs to be to get what he wants?

The concept is excellent but the shortness of this series prevents any real plot development or depth to the characters. The acting is fairly ok, but there is absolutely no chemistry between the two main male leads and the kissing is so poorly executed that even if they director had used clever camera angles and lighting it would still have looked like a young man greeting a favourite uncle.

Would I watch this again? It’s a no from me.
