I have had this on my plan to watch list but had been unable to find a subbed version of it, I finally found it and here's my review...
Is this drama presented as BL? No, not really. It plays with homoeroticism but, for the most part, the boys are presented as straight. Everything in this drama is presented with a wink so the fact that its low budget doesn't hurt it any. Think Benny Hill only without the busty women and you'll get the feel of what this drama is trying to be. I liked it, but then again I liked Benny Hill too.
I mainly wanted to watch this because I'm a fan of Sato Takeru and Saito Takumi. I wanted to watch them in their first main roles. Were they as good as Joe Cheng in The Rose? No. But it was fun watching these young actors deliver their lines while trying not to laugh, and you can see why they went on to become major stars in Japan.
