Good and funny but needs a lil something more
I was really excited to watch this drama! As an artist, I found myself relating to the existential dread that he is going through. I think they portrayed that part really well. As a J-idol fan, I enjoyed the portrayal of fan culture and the idols' experiences, as it is something I'm familiar with. The somewhat niche comedy was really this drama's strength.
This drama was pretty good and pretty funny. However, I think it could've been better. I understand that he is supposed to have conflicting feelings, but I feel like most of what was portrayed were the frustrations, for both characters. Though necessary, it would be nice if there was more of a balance—I wish they explored more of their feelings of yearning for each other. Maybe I just wished for more 'kyun' moments, haha. I think there could've been more chemistry between the two leads. I don't mind the lack of a kissing scene—it wouldn't make much of a difference. There are other ways to portray intimacy. But, I really think there's room for them to explore the characters a bit more. There also seem to be pacing issues. The climax was pushed back to the end, and everything was resolved in one episode. Usually, when dramas do this, it can still be executed well. I think it needs a season 2 to make it better.
Overall, it was enjoyable and good. I had high expectations in the beginning, but I was a bit underwhelmed at the end. I have no regrets watching it. Better to watch for the comedy than romance, in my opinion. Still cute, nonetheless.
Sidenote: This might be the 2nd best opening in a J-BL. Of course, nothing will top the openings of Zettai BL ni Naru Sekai VS Zettai BL ni Naritakunai Otoko.
