Another BL done right

Its feels like a breath of fresh air when you see a BL story around working men and their life in office. The series does a fine job at introducing the characters. We have the 1st ML who seems to be going through life with an averseness to change. Through dialogues between the 2 MLs we come to know that he used to be accept challenges but no longer.
I really appreciated that multiple episodes were spent in building the relationship between the 2 ML where one in trying to help the other get out of his so called "mid-life crisis" and rediscover himself. Hence when ultimately the 1st ML falls in love with the other it appears justified and not something out of the blue. The fact about the age-gap is hammered constantly in to the viewers but it does not take away from the narrative and the dialogues sound more natural.
The 1st MLs character of being afraid of change is brought back again in the later episides when the 2nd ML confesses his love. But as usual love triumphs and they get together at the end which comes as no surprise. The series ends at a great moment and I would love to watch season 2 that explores their relationship further.
