I'll Vouch For These Two BAs

This drama gives me fluttery feelings and no anxiety which is a huge win in my books. It is not a perfect drama by any stretch, but it serves its purpose of being entertaining.

Let's start with the bad, because there aren't too many:
- Sahashi's eyebrows. He has such nice eyebrows in real life, I can't figure out why they made it so dark in the series. I have such a huge hatred for his overdrawn brows that this has to go at number one for the "bad" list.
- Some plot points were not properly fleshed out. There were a couple of things that I wish they just don't introduce because they end up not properly resolving it (family stuff and work stuff mainly).
- Okuno So as Mamiya is too beautiful and amazing at his job for the whole lack of confidence thing to be fully believable. Yes, hot and talented people can be insecure too but it seems like external people don't really compliment his looks which is incomprehensible to me because he is just too damn gorgeous.
- I do think they could up the intimacy a little bit. I don't mean sex - but casual touches, close proximity to each other, and stolen glances. I just don't think they do these enough for me to fully buy into their chemistry.

Now onto the good:
- Gorgeous gorgeous men on my screen. I'm sorry that this is my first point on the good list but Okuno So is just ethereal. He is like the combination of TVXQ's Changmin and ZB1's Gyuvin in the best way possible. I am utterly in love.
- Actual character growth! Both characters have their own flaws but the conflicts in this series actually helped develop their characters and relationship. It is refreshing to actually see conflicts used as a personal development moment and not just as a way to progress the plot.
- They are actually decent people. Mamiya is genuinely one of the kindest people I have seen on screen. He is so selfless and genuine, almost to a fault. Sahashi has a prickly exterior but he is never malicious on purpose, which I appreciate.
- Internal/relationship conflicts handled promptly, which is awesome for people who are prone to anxiety like me. I hate misunderstandings and miscommunication - thankfully there aren't a lot of those here. If there are, they are usually handled quite promptly.
- Most side characters add value to the show!

Overall the good heavily outweighs the bad in my eyes and I would recommend if you like mindless workplace fluff.
