Difficulty in liking the main character

It didn't take long in watching this drama to develop a strong dislike for Iwanaga, one of the main protagonists. It was really full of himself and abused people with his business position to get involved in romance, but really just sex, not romance.
Miyata, an extremely likeable character is subject to the abuse, but starts to turn things around as the episodes play out.
That said, You definitely see a bit of a positive change in both characters as their relationship intensifies.
There's a lot of history between these two, so as you realize the depth of their past, you appreciate them both trying to build it back up again ... but as their always is in these BL stories, interference from supporting cast plays a big role, especially Shiraishi, the assistant to Iwanaga. He does a good job toward you wanting to smack him in the face, so Takamatsu Aloha's acting in this definitely worked!
It's a good story and the main actors Hasegawa Makoto & Furuya Robin do a great job opposite each other.
It's worth watching with a good feel ending.
