An Easy Watch With Missed Potential
It’s more about a current yakuza trying to live a normal life as an office worker. If you’re new to J-dramas, this is a good place to start. It’s a light office slice-of-life with a subtle yakuza twist.While the story is enjoyable, I wish the writer had explored the leads’ pasts more. Knowing their history would’ve made their choices feel more impactful. At times, it felt like I was watching a second season and had somehow missed the first one.

Came for Daou and Offroad, so no regrets
As always, Daou and Offroad have amazing chemistry. This series is quite different from their previous work, with more action involved, and their acting is AMAZING, especially Offroad. I feel like he truly brings Pheem to life; he communicates so much emotion through his eyes alone, to the point where it feels like he’s speaking directly to the audience.The story sits comfortably in the middle. It’s not overly heavy with dragged out drama, but it’s also not so soft that it becomes boring. The balance works well and keeps the series engaging.
However, the part that breaks my immersion is the action. The fighting and gunfight scenes feel very fake and obvious, and I think even casual viewers can notice it. Unfortunately, those moments pull me out of the story.
Came for Daou and Offroad, so no regrets, and it’s just 10 episodes, so it’s an easy watch.
The behind the scenes are a must watch. There is so much chemistry and it feels like another drama. Sadly, the reaction videos are not subbed yet, so hopefully they will be subbed soon for international fans.

New to BL or LF Youth, Healing & Light?
The random funny sound effects are unexpectedly delightful and add a charming layer of fun.Beyond that, the show radiates a warmth that explains why it’s so beloved. Although a few awkward scenes pulled me out of the show.
It’s still a good recommendation for anyone looking for a light, youthful, healing or new to bl.

Just five minutes into the show and I was completely hooked!
The very first thing that captured me was the music. I had been going through a slump and stumbled upon this drama with no expectations at all. I knew almost nothing about it except that it involved music a band and Takeru Satoh as part of the cast.What surprised me most was how deeply the show speaks through its smallest moments. Even a quiet gesture carries meaning and every emotional thread is answered through the songs. The music is not only a backdrop but a voice that adds depth weight and clarity to the story.
I am loving the entire soundtrack. It lifts the drama and gives every scene a pulse that stays with you long after it ends.
