A hidden gem!
The story follows Ryo a brilliant lawyer with a stone face, a harsh manner and no love life. Until Haruto bulldozes his way into his life and home. At first, Ryo is understandably skeptical of Haruto, but he gradually warms up to him, until he finds out Haruto is a con-artist. After kicking Haruto out of his house, Ryo realizes he misses Haruto and has fallen in love with him.
I love the comedy relief in this show. From Ryo's awkwardness with affection to his impromptu daydreaming about Haruto, he's such a lovable character. I'll update more once the show ends.
**Update**
This show has become my comfort drama. Sometimes I let it play in the background while I do other things. It's just so good. Watching Ryo fall in love against his will was hilariously satisfying. I also appreciate how the show never took the turn of "oh you're gay now you have to hide your relationship from your boss and your colleagues".
Ryo fell head over heels in love and never looked back. He embraced Haruto, flaws and all and Haruto gained a new perspective on life and what he wanted to do with his.
This show is fantastic!
** Update again **
I come back every few months just to say it again: this is my comfort BL drama. I’ll throw it on as background noise, I’ll rewatch it when I want something light and funny. I genuinely don’t understand how it doesn’t have a higher rating.
Shiba’s facial expressions are everything. And watching Haruto fall for him in real time is perfection.
The first time I watched it, I honestly thought Haruto was lying through the entire series until that scene when he cried after Shiba “saved” him from the mob. That moment hit.
Side note: I love that Shiba can’t fight and still got beat up trying to rescue Haruto. It was such a refreshing twist on the usual “hero saves the day.”
Anyway, Haruto definitely fell for Shiba early. Once he started teasing Shiba and realized just how genuine he actually was, he didn’t stand a chance.
And Shiba… he’s a kind, loving person who pretends to be cold to protect himself. You can see how badly he wants to take care of someone. He talks to his plants, massages their petals, cleans them with cotton swabs. So of course he was drawn to Haruto. Haruto gave him exactly what he craved: companionship, love and a full belly.
