I loved it. I have only watched a few Jdramas this year and so far this one is my favorite. I liked the plot, the over-all story and set-up was refreshing to me. The show tackles reality and societal problems particularly in workplace settings. The drama, though was more of an work environment focus, yet not a single episode bore me. It was also exhilarating to watch a show wherein two leads have great chemistry. I'm a fan of Mukai but I admit I haven't been watching most of his recent works - its not my cup of tea. This drama renewed my interest in him as an actor. And Yoshitaka is being a great actress here. I liked her since Tokyo Tarareba Musume but her acting really stands out in this show - she is very detailed in her expressions and body language here. No wonder she was awarded the best actress trophy for this. She proved to me that one doesn't need to cry heavily and star in a mega dramatic drama to showcase their acting chops. She's pretty and cute everytime she smiles. And each time she drinks a beer, I also feel like drinking some, lol.

But to be honest, I signed up for the drama because of the possible romance between Mukai and Yoshitaka. And since romance isn't the main theme of the show, its understandable that they are only showing little interactions/moments but hey, for me it was enough. I've got the ending I wanted and I'm happy. So if you're planning to watch this how, always remember this is not a Korean drama. They don't do a detour here - they lived up to the title of the drama from start to finish. They go straight to the point and what you see is what you get. No scheming and overly crying, so for those who are spoiled by the usual korean drama shenanigans, then this ain't for you.

Though I'm screaming for "I want more romance", I still thoroughly enjoyed the show. And since I love the whole casts particularly the main leads, I am being generous with my ratings.

BTW, The show also has a great soundtrack. I love love the song "Ambitious" by Superfly. The lyrics of the song is also fitting with the drama. These are my favorite lines of the song:

"I don't like now, But I'm living right now.
The future that one can easily reach won't be that easy.
Stop worrying about it, Tomorrow you'll still get up again.
Never let go of what you're longing for
You attractive adults"

"I don't like dreams, please don't hurry me.
Never give up what you are longing for,
Its so hard for you adults".

Overall, I'm positively recommending this drama.
