Not a fun watch

Soga is a bit too much of a straight edge, wet blanket type character. Since he's less of a POV character than Sakae (who's not the strongest-willed either), I found it hard to sympathize with him. With a different approach, Soga's insecurity could have been relatable, but as it stands he's just annoying. I also don't really buy that he's actually attracted to Sakae or men in general. As a result, I'm with the other viewers who ended up rooting for Mizuki (almost out of spite lol). At least his back-and-forth with Sakae was engaging. Or maybe that's just me liking drama.

Overall, nothing terribly offensive… just a very mediocre miscommunication/opposites attract story with a character whose personality dragged down what could have been a passably entertaining show. If you squint, you might even see the potential in there somewhere. After all, it's admirable that Soga and Sakae both look for a better suited partner than either of their exes, but I remain unconvinced that they found that in each other. And the food aspect was nice, I guess? Speaking of which, I wish (J)BL actors were allowed to eat…
