In re-assessing my review on this one, I'm reducing the story score a bit. While I was wildly enthusiastic after finishing the last episode, it has since occurred to me that we never really get a payoff for this drama. Among the major BL drama producers, Thailand, Philippines, China, Korea and Japan, the Japanese shows seem to be the most timid about showing same gender intimacy and, indeed, the final scene has the elevator doors closing just before our two heroes kiss. Nevertheless, this was a highly enjoyable show and I loved the chemistry between the two leads. I hope to someday see the movie edit where they may show a little more realistic relationship. The story is also a bit old fashioned compared to, say, the Thai BL dramas that have mostly moved away from well-worn gay relationship cliches.
