Heart-warming comfort movie

This turned out to be completely different than I had expected. I started watching this movie thinking it will be way more unhinged (given the whole idea of buying a man, whose original profession is a host) and at the same time more romcom-ish.

What I got instead was a heart-warming story about different life choices/ways to live one's life and companionship.
The plot felt refreshing, but not too over the top crazy. Despite a somewhat risque premise, the story ultimately turned out to be very heart-warming, wholesome, domestic even.

Main characters were either likeable (Sena), or at the very least intriguing (Yui), so following their story was an effortless endeavour. Shibasaki Ko was really good in her portrayal. I was familiar with Akaso Eiji, seeing him previously in Cherry Magic and Hey Sensei, Don't You Know?
This movie was his best performance that I've watched yet.

It's definitely one of those comfort movies that makes you feel all warm and lovely inside.

Also, I teared up towards the ending.
