Review from someone who just wanted to watch some BL to pass the time!
I'm going to write this review as a person who watched any BL with a very open mind, even if it is deemed bad to most people. However for this story, I will say it was a nice and also steamy so, if you prefer a more fluff story, this might not be for you. There are fluff moments of course!What I like:
> Two different kind of relationship (although it's typical but hey, we can't all be original) - Shy but try to be dominant x Dominant mechanic and Tsundere boy (controlling the relationship lmao) x Smooth talker but cares for his partner a lot
> Yes there is a lot of X scenes but hey, it gets them famous. And I must say, out of all the thai I have watched, I am very surprise by how INTENSE they went for this. I even panicked when it appear hahah
> Surprisingly no enemy, or at least those typical character (aka a girl or ex girl, or a random dude that likes one of the ML. Unless there is one and I missed them or something oops). There is a bad person but it's more relating to the character's past or some asshole that was jealous of Payu lmao.
For what I don't like, uh, I'm not entirely sure? I really went into this story expecting to not watch it fully because I tend to not watch mature ones, but I was surprise how I was attracted to the storyline and the characters (although, again, they aren't that original, but maybe I just have a type of pairing is all lul)
I would recommend this to those who like to watch a more Mature BL and just something to pass the time with! The story is not that heavy and they resolve their problems in one episode every time which is a blessing in my opinion haha!

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

If you want fluff, well this story got you covered!!
I finally finished it and what can I say, as a sucker for fluff story without any conflict, this hint all the spots for me!...buuuut I will say that some won't like it because of that exact reason; the story is just filled with cute and sweet moments.
If you are someone who prefer very deep story with unique storyline, this story may not be for you.
BUT, if you are looking just for a story to pass the time with that will filled your heart with warmth, WELCOME TO THE CLUB!
I understand that some will hate Taishin's very naive personality, but honestly, I don't mind it. In fact, I'm kind of glad he was the way he is because due to how naive he is, he will say everything that he does not understand or is confused about, especially when it's towards Takara. AND THIS MY FRIEND, AVOIDED ANY SORT OF CONFLICT. LIKE, THERE IS LITERALLY ZERO CONFLICT.
I'm just tired of watching BLs with conflict that is either very predictable or unnecessary. I AM HONESTLY VERY HAPPY THIS STORY HAS NONE OF IT!! Hurray for healthy communication :DDD
And Takara as a character is nothing special, but I do like how he's also - most of the time - say what he thinks, which in my opinion balances well with Taishin's 'dumbness'.
My final words will be; if you prefer story with unique one of a kind deep message, this story is not for you.
I recommend just watch this if you ever feel like watching something light and will make you smile with no worry of the ML every breaking up!
I miss these two honestly, and I might rewatch after awhile because they are just cute!

THE PERFECT ENDING TO THE SERIES
AHHH it's over. I've watched all versions of 'Ossan Love'. At first I was reluctant when a sequel to Ossan Love come out, afraid if they would still push Chief still being the relationship wrecker. BUT I AM SO HAPPY I WAS WRONG.This series revolves around Haruta and Maki life after marriage from the 1st series + WITH additional side character happening!! I AM VERY SHOCK TO SEE MIURA SHOHEI IN THIS, moreover having a partner of his own, aka ARATA?! Their plot is completely different that HaruMaki -- more of sad and overcoming the past trauma -- Honestly, I had not expect them to get together in the end as Izumi seemed so attached to Akito, but luckily he learned to move on :D
The chemistry is so natural and so cute to see. It wasn't cringy at all, and often times it feels like you are HaruMaki's friends watching them flirt and wanna kick them cause they were being so love-dovey kimoi but you can't help but smile and be happy for the couple :D Props to Kei honestly. He never fails to bring Haruta's character come to life and so realistic and dramatic without making it too forceful and weird lol.
I am so so so so so happy they make this series just full of fluff and no conflict. It was the perfect way to make a sequel without the unnecessary conflict. I mean, they've been married for 4 years, and it make sense for HaruMaki to have very good communication in their relationship! God thing the writers didn't waste any time on that nonsense argument.
TBH the only character irritated me the most is Takegawa and his endless attempt to get Maki back, BUT THANK GOD, Maki never budge what so ever cause he knows BOUNDRIES //cough unlike other bl MC/ML//
ANYWAY, DO WATCH THIS AFTER WATCHING THE 1ST ONE! YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!

The title makes sense
Finish this last year and honestly, it doesn't give me much impact sadly.I've been looking forward to this drama ever since it the Pilot video came out. It's just my preference but I've always like plot where it's working characters instead of students. Just as the story is called "Step by Step", it makes sense why this story is quite a slow burn. So, for those who dislike that, this story is not for you!
Sadly, I would say the story went kinda downhill after later episodes. Mostly because of Pat. There was one review I read which I agreed on that said "Pat need to stop thinking everything revolves around him". Honestly, their "Conflict" part kind of pisses me of, aka Pat being so difficult. I honestly don't understand what's the deal with him and his reasoning is a little ???
He really does think everything is about him, which makes me feel bad about Jeng. He was trying his best to show sincerity and how he feels but ugh, Pat just pisses me off tbh. It took me awhile to finish the story - almost wanting to drop it - but manage to end it. Jeng came through at the end, and honestly, I stayed because of him. Ending was so so

THE ENDING FEELS WRONG ?
Just as the title said, THE ENDINGー I...I don't know how to feel...First of all, the acting is amazing and the actors are very good! (I knew Rintaro's from WatWing and Takumi from Super Sentai)
THE GOOD:
- Toki is so likeable we must protect him at all cost! The actor is so adorkable. The style reminds me a lot like Keita Hatsukoi, especially Aoki very comical acting.
- I appreciated how they communicated a lot when they confirmed they have feelings for one another. And the scene where Sahara motioned for Toki to stay and hear his convo with Minato was honestly such a good scene.
THE BAD:
- UHHHHHHH THE ENDING?!?!?!? Obviously the age gap is the biggest issue viewers have with this, but I guess since I grew up seeing (I didn't watch them, but just saw the cover etc) a lot of Jdramas where it's Student x Teacher/Older, it wasn't a shocking concept. BUT at least those mangakas doesn't make the mains do ANYTHING until the younger has reach older age. (I've seen one where the older even told the student to come back/see them only after they graduate/done with studying)
I was fine with everything UNTIL THE ENDING CAME. I HONESTLY WAS HOPING SAHARA WOULD WAIT UNTIL TOKI IS 19 (the 'adult' age i guess) BEFORE HE KISSED THE BOY 😭
Because of this...I...I....was having such conflicting feelings for this show. Because it just ruins the entire view of it for me IDK ALSHFKSKA
