A very cute rom-com with an gender-role reversal, I loved seeing the work/carer focused woman and the man being the domestic household keeping man. Also a huge bonus to the show is that both of the leads are likeable, the domestic-life premise gives it plenty of comedic situations, and it's an easy binge when you want something warm and low-stress. I quite liked the general easygoingness of the show in the way that the older Hayami looks like the perfect, hyper-competent career woman at work but is a disaster at home, while her younger male colleague Yamamoto is exceptionally good at domestic work.
But yeah it lacks in a lot of ways in gaining depth as they go into those two archetypes a lot. But it was overall a real cute show that was easy to watch. It did feel a bit dragged out at points and could have maybe been better in a 6-8 episode format. This is mostly due to the lack of depth and the fact that the romance between the leads leaves much to be desired, they look great on screen together, but the dialogue and plot makes their chemistry very bland. I felt that thought most of the characters were written pretty well, except for the ML and FL. The ML likes the FL wayyyyyyy too much and sometimes acts like he has no pride left at all. This premise can be good sometimes but it didnt hit in the same way that some shows portray it. And the FL is so clueless about everything happening around her, it can be a little frustrating at points.
Don't go in expecting a deeply sophisticated romance if you feel like watching this show, the comedy can get exaggerated and some characters may test your patience. If you are fine with that then this can be a very fresh feeling of a more work focused woman and the more domestic man.
