Slow beautiful drama about being 40yo
When I read the manga this drama is based on I got an idea of how this drama would be. Well, I was mistaken. This drama has a lot of jbl clichés, and the slow pace can make some people decide to stop to watch it. But, I loved it, and for me the slow pace was one of the things I liked the most about it. And even when the main character made some not popular decisions, I think they make sense within the story and what the character represents.Now, this drama is not perfect, some episodes could have been better, the pace in some of them were not good. The side characters stories were, in my opinion, important, but there were better ways to introduce them. They did rushed the final episode like a classic jbl but I still liked it, there were enough scenes for it to make sense and have a good ending.
The actors (of the mains and sides characters) were really good, the crying and almost crying scenes were good and believable.
Overall, I would watch the series again, I mean I've re watched some episode already.
For me, it is solid series, and a great BL.

slow burning pero MUY slow
Al inicio adore la propuesta de la serie, es la basica de jefe-subordinado. Para mi el problema inicial comenzo cuando comenzaron a darle muchas vueltas para el romance NO pasar, si era lindo verlos juntos paseando pero apartir de que todos los episodios eran solo sobre eso se volvió medio meh para mi.Siento que conoci muy poco de Sazume como para entenderlo, apesar de que mostraron un poco de la familia de Keishi, no paso lo mismo com Sazume.
Quisiera que el drama hubiera tenido mas profundidad y tension amorosa. En muchos momentos no sentía la quimica que ellos intentaban transmitir.
Al final todo, termino lindo, pero me hubiera gustado ver mas sobre ellos juntos en la empresa y su día a día.

Muy Bella y dulce
Muchas veces se ven estas series sin tener el contexto social de donde vienen. Si fuese de occidente si le bajaría mucho la calificación, pero una cultura cerrada y acartonada, que todavía guarda mucho de sus viejos valores, este drama es para destacar. Sin pretender ser LA SERIE es mucho ya que se adentra con a)una pareja BL b)que se lleva más de 10 años y c) son jefe y subordinado (no es spoiler ya que esto queda plasmado en el primer capítulo y creo que esta en la reseña de la página). Estas 3 cosas son temas muy delicados en la cultura Japonesa, todo agrandado por el punto a. Me gusto mucho y si bien pareciera perder fuerza sobre los capítulos finales eran necesarios para el muy buen final.Was this review helpful to you?
9/10 Kawaii
9/10 KawaiiSo, so cute! One of the best BL out there. Keishi is insanely handsome. His boss is the cutest thing. The acting is great. I felt for both of them, smiling nonstop until things started to go south. I gather from the other reviews that some people didn't like that part and couldn't understand the character's reactions.
I do. Yes, people are becoming more and more tolerant, but make no mistake, in Japan and everywhere else, there are still a lot of homophobic people, even if they won't let it show. Also, the age gap is enough to get criticized. Being in such a relationship could jeopardize someone's career, even today.
Anyway, this is one of my favourite BL. I can't believe no-one speaks about it. It kind of reminds me of Old Fashioned Cupcake, but it has its own charm.
