Cute and sweet Relationship between middle aged men!

I can’t really say much more than you need to watch this! I certainly regret not watching this show sooner.

The chemistry between Nozue And Togawa is Perfect and doesn’t have any of the worrisome power dynamics you can see in other office romance dramas. The balance between their work life and personal life is well balanced (in my opinion anyways), and you easily forget that Nozue and Togawa have a ten year age gap. I personally think that it’s due to how closed off Nozue was, but he still had quite a bit of that childish vibe once he got closer with Togawa. I sincerely thought Togawa was going to get on my nerves going into this but I totally fell in love with his character by the end.

This drama really kind of brought a beautiful light to how diving deep into work can make life drag on in a way that seems unlivable and how breaking out of your comfort zone can bring back happiness and positive interactions within not only your work life but also personal.

I really gotta give it up for Kimura Tatsunari, he portrayed the emotions of Togawa really well and didn’t leave me with that cringey feeling I get with other dramas where someone cries so hard they have snot running out of their nose.

The show was super sweet and I often found myself smiling at the small interactions between Nozue and Togawa when they complimented each other, and I was definitely laughing each time they choked on their drinks.

all in all it’s a super quick watch so even if dramas like this aren’t your usual cup of tea, you wouldn’t be wasting too much time by giving this drama a chance!
