Unnecessary
The positive comments for this seem to be on the verge of 99 percent and I for one certainly don't get it. My fingers were itching to type something so here goes.Cliché after cliché, character A pines for character B who is totally oblivious for 8.5 episodes. But it wouldn't be a Japanese romcom/BL if B didn't suddenly realize A is the love of his life and he has to run after him.
Stupid cliffhangers with stupid resolutions in the next episode.
The acting was fine however I don't see the chemistry between the leads. A series about a relationship between a student and a policeman is not that usual, I'll give them that.
I thought Minato's Laundromat (S1) would be my least favorite Japanese BL of all time (of the ones that I finished), but whereas it was so frustrating that I was nearly moved to tears, Sugar Dog Life was just plain boring.
I guess I watched too many BLs because I truly don't think this series was necessary to produce at all. Didn't read the manga and for sure am not tempted to.

Slow Burn Slice of Life
Ah another underrated gem.First of all the casting is amazing and the chemistry between the male leads is so cute. The story is a slow burn romance with little drama that’s no more serious than a misunderstanding, a comfort series. It’s a very wholesome plot between to lonely men who find a meaningful connection with each other. The character development of Isumi from reserved to confession drives the series plot and is beautifully resolved by the end.
Also, the two friends are awesome!

A good adaption!
Sweet fluff~It follows the manga for the most part which I like :D
It's a very chill series if you'd like to watch where barely any conflicts happen nor fights~
If you've read the manga, it's exactly as it except certain scenes they change but it wasn't anything dramatic. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical the first time i saw Isumi because in the manga, he looked like he should be those softie uke that seems like a troublemaker (with a high tone voice example), BUT I am happy that I was wrong! I think they cast the right person for both Isumi and Kyousuke (the moment I saw the actor, I knew he would be perfect because he have that nice guy just like the manga lmao).
This story is just about a uni students that falls for a policeman that was nice to him, and wanting to repay him, he cooks for the policeman. Then feelings developed :DDD

Loved the manga and loved this!
I almost never watch shows as they air but I’d been waiting for this since I was a fan of the manga and I just couldn’t wait!It somehow managed to be cuter and I was excited for every episode. I was so disappointed when it ended (I would have loved to have seen more of their domestic bliss) and could have watched twenty episodes!
The actors were also amazing in their roles and exactly how I imagined the characters!

Um pouco sem graça, mas cumpre seu propósito de forma diferente
Achei bem bonitinho. Ele realmente lembra o mangá em vários aspectos, o que me trouxe uma sensação de familiaridade. Claro, a história sofreu algumas mudanças na adaptação, mas, para mim, nada que atrapalhe a essência da trama. Ainda assim, senti uma certa falta de profundidade no personagem loiro; no mangá, ele tem uma presença mais marcante, com uma personalidade que prende, e isso acabou ficando meio apagado na versão para as telas.No geral, a narrativa continua doce e emocionante, trazendo aquele tipo de sensibilidade que faz a gente se apegar facilmente aos personagens. Só que, confesso, em alguns momentos me senti envergonhado com certas cenas — sabe aquela sensação de "ai, não precisava"? Apesar disso, não posso dizer que seja ruim. O dorama cumpre o seu papel de emocionar e entreter, mesmo que de uma forma mais leve e, em alguns trechos, um pouco sem graça.
Comparando com o mangá, ainda prefiro a versão original, Mas, olhando para o dorama de forma isolada, ele tem o seu charme. É uma obra que funciona para quem quer algo fofo e simples , sem grandes pretensões.

Cuqui como Koki
Una propuesta cute que no aporta demasiado. Contar con Koki fue una idea acertada y su química con Hideya es adorable.Ahora bien, siempre que el BL cuenta con un actor o artista consagrado, sabemos de antemano que el nivel de intimidad va a limitarse a un besito tímido y poco más.
Todo lo que podría decirle a Isumi es que, pase lo que pase, por muchas que sean las ganas, ACAB.
