My overall thought of this drama is that it was okay.  I was recommended not to watch it so with my personality, I went to look for it. I finished it within a day because it was just 8 episodes and I had the time to binge.  It wasn't as bad as I was told.  Mind you, it wasn't great but it wasn't terrible. The story was a simple one, kinda like a slice of life type genre. There wasn't really any big suspenseful drama within the show.  All the problems are pretty much predictable and it was handled in predictable ways.  So there wasn't really any suspension or very emotional cues that make it to the audience. The acting and cast was so-so to me.  It wasn't great.  I had added it in my PTW list because of Shohei Miura. I turn into a total fan girl when it comes to him.  He was a secondish, thirdish lead in the drama but his acting impact didn't really help that show.  But in his defense, this drama is one of his earlier dramas.  In terms of music, nothing striking so I gave it an okay.  I probably won't rewatch it.  Like I said it didn't really have any grabbing material.  It was like it was just telling a very simple story.  Everything was very predictable like I have mentioned.
I do agree with the person who told me it wasn't good.  I wouldn't say it is terrible but it just doesn't have that hook that keeps the audience entertained.  It does grab you a little on sympathy but not by much.  The creativity just wasn't there.  It's one of those movies/dramas where you watch it, think it's okay and leave it at that.
