This is my first time watching Jdrama, I watched alot of Kdrama's so I can't stop comparing them. The story is…
Drama was broadcast on the batshit \weird dramas frame and is even tagged as comedy , so the over the topness can't be helped. Not fan of the OTT genre myself but japan is also expert in slice of life trope, grounded, realistic, heartfelt stories with natural acting that don't even look like acting .
There’s comic relief scenes but I wouldn’t say the drama is a comedy.
hard to get into the cases since tone of the drama is not serious except for some guest performances.the characters themselves are comic relief. ost too.
so the over the topness can't be helped.

Sakamoto actually wrote the script with the two actors in mind.
I also recommend you to check Ito Sairi - Love and other cults and Shuri-Love at least
