It's very niche

I think it's a bit difficult to enjoy this drama if you are not familiar with the science-based jokes and figures which are the "comedy source" of this drama. Some of the jokes might cause cringe instead of actually making you laugh, even though I know what are they joking about. The casts are okay and so does the storyline. Nothing really stood out but it somehow made you keep continuing to watch. Music is almost non-existent, just the childish "na na na boo boo" in it.

If you are a big fan of Kotaki Nozomu, this drama is basically a fan service with all the zooming in to Kakeda when he's thinking or re-enacting a historical scene about science. The drama did teach me a few stuff I haven't known before and some of the relatable jokes made it enjoyable. But I believe not many viewers can 'click' to this drama - it will be a hit or miss.

Watch if you: still remember the science stuff from school, big fan of Kotaki Nozomu, or just want to see the live action version of the manga

And that's my first review in MDL. Thank you for reading.

Fun but hard to follow

If you are familiar with Japanese humour you will enjoy it.
But for me and after a very exhausting day I believe it's quite hard to follow.

I'm a chemist myself so it's kinda fun to watch some science-based drama which they have done pretty well.

The story is very simple and characters are easy to understand but for me I got tired trying to follow what is going on with all the characters change happening. The sketches are too many and not all of them are funny tbh.
Is it boring? No. For the suitable audience it's very entertaining.
But maybe I picked the wrong time for it.

I may watch it later and raise my rate as I enjoyed somehow although finishing it was quite a chore, had I watched it in a more fitting mood I think I'd have enjoyed it much more ~
