A nice short drama to pass the time

If you want a not so serious short drama and you don't mind older man/younger woman with a lot of kissing, romantic scenes, & somewhat mild sexual scenes to pass the time then I recommend this drama.

I went into this drama for Kiriyama Renn and I came out loving all of the characters & cast. I found myself laughing out loud at times and I loved how even when there were misunderstandings the characters communicated well especially Kei & Momo.

[ SPOILERS FROM HERE ON ]

Even though their relationship was kept secret for most of the drama I loved how the two of them cared for each other, both at their place of work and at home. They really became better people when they were together. You have two very different people that in any other circumstance they probably wouldn't have met let alone fall in love and you get see their love story beautifully play out and how they grow as a couple and as individuals.

The chemistry the whole cast had with each other was great, I loved every dynamic that we saw on the screen and I found myself looking forward to each episode. I will miss not having a new episode a week to watch I'm not going to lie.

My only really complaints are I wish the final episode didn't feel too rushed but I'm used to that when it comes to dramas so I'm not overly fussed about it. Also I wish Fukami Yu & Sagara Junpei's storylines were wrapped up a little better because I feel like they focused more on giving Momo & Kei's relationship more of a conclusion as well as solving the conflict with Kei's step mum, which is fine I just feel like maybe one more episode could've given those characters a somewhat conclusion (especially since there were 2 special episodes that were mostly recaps). So it kind of felt like their characters and their storylines were somewhat forgotten about but it is what it is.
