The review contains spoilers from start to finish, so here we go...

Starting with the theme of the show: the reform of a black company. An interesting and well-constructed plot. Sakyo Shiori is the handsome president of the company called "Jet Black" who worries about the high turnover of his employees, not imagining that inside, the four employees he apparently trusts the most for occupying high positions are responsible for causing these layoffs. To efficiently solve this problem, he approaches Hitomi to be his personnel consultant and find out the reason for the high turnover. This is where the question of the four heavenly Kings comes in...

The most interesting thing about this show is to follow the development of the relationship between the main characters as they deal with troublesome employees. Sakyo and Hitomi make a perfect duo. It's adorable how the two complement each other and are so cute in every interaction. It is also important to highlight the change in Sakyo's heart through living with Hitomi. Here we are dealing with two strict people:

Hitomi is strict with herself at work, and firmly refuses to mix the personal with the professional. Sakyo is a man who is strict with himself and others, but he is by no means a bad person. He is a strict person who becomes a one-man president, and he learns from Hitomi to trust the people around him more to achieve his goal. After Sakyo's change in heart, he is shown to be a softer person, especially around Hitomi. He is a kind man, but quite closed off, and such a change can be seen in his way of acting and speaking, as the episodes progress. The way the romance walks is slow, because in the manga it is also like that. Sakyo tries to get closer to Hitomi through subtle actions so that she realizes his feelings. Hitomi denies this because she doesn't want to get involved with anyone in the workplace, when at the same time it becomes clear that she is also starting to develop strong feelings for him.

On several occasions Sakyo tries to break the barrier imposed by Hitomi to reach her heart, but she continues to deny it until the last episode, when it becomes clear that the two love each other. When the fateful farewell scene arrives, once again Sakyo is put off by Hitomi when he tries to talk about his feelings. Hitomi cries desperately when Sakyo lets her go, and shortly after the two-month timeskip, Sakyo returns to Hitomi with an official offer to return to work with him on Jet Black.

When Sakyo takes Hitomi to see the beautiful night view of Tokyo, he gently takes Hitomi's hand. She closes her eyes clearly demonstrating her desire to be kissed by him, but Sakyo doesn't, whispering something in her ear instead. At first, I was disappointed with this, as both the preview of the last episode and the synopsis on the official website strongly induced the audience that we would see a kiss from the main characters at the end. I felt cheated, but regardless of that, if we analyze the protagonists' relationship calmly, we'll see that Sakyo acted coherently.

Hitomi fell in love with Sakyo, but tried hard to push him away every time he approached her. This made Sakyo unable to step forward and cross the line she had drawn between them when Hitomi not only made no effort to be with him, but was also unclear about her feelings.

How could Sakyo kiss her? He didn't want to risk being misunderstood or even rejected by Hitomi. He was right not to cross that line without being sure of Hitomi's feelings. I can't say I'm happy about this, as I've waited a long 10 weeks to see a cinematic kiss, but I understand Sakyo's fear, caused by Hitomi's own actions.

I'm really rooting for a second season, because the manga didn't end and Sakyo and Hitomi's relationship wasn't resolved.

This drama is wonderful. The comedy is excellent, the way the protagonists solve problems is smart and cute, and the whole body of work is attractive and a lot of fun.

Inukai Atsuhiro was the reason I watched the show, as I fell in love with him ever since I saw him in Kamen Rider Build. He is an excellent actor who, in addition to his handsome face, has an incredible ability to masterfully interpret any role he is willing to play, and Sakyo could not have been portrayed better. The partnership with Yahagi Honoka was perfect! Both are passionately in tune, and I wanted to see the two starring again in a real romance. 💘

Furthermore, watch this show with an open heart and focus on having fun. It is a production that runs the story very well, and the romance, although left in the background, opens up a range of possibilities for a continuation. It's very cute to know that the two love each other. It's so worth watching, and I'll watch it again and again...
