I'm a sucker for established couples so this was right up my alley. Tatsuya and Junnosuke have such natural chemistry, and their little domestic moments made me smile. The conflict with Shota felt a bit forced but still kept me hooked. Not a masterpiece, but worth watching for fluff lovers.

The plot is painfully thin – it's basically one misunderstanding stretched over 4 episodes. The acting is amateurish and the production value screams web series. I get that it's meant to be cute, but the lack of any real depth or resolution left me frustrated.

I appreciate the attempt to show a long-term gay relationship, but the way Shota's infatuation is handled feels problematic. There's no real discussion of boundaries, and the jealousy trope leans into toxic stereotypes. I wish the show had addressed consent and communication more maturely.

The cinematography is basic – mostly static shots in the same bar interior, and the lighting is flat. However, I did enjoy the warm color palette and the occasional close-up during emotional beats. It's not ugly, just uninspired. A serviceable watch if you're craving a quick BL fix.

The soundtrack actually surprised me – there's a gentle piano theme that plays during tender scenes and a light acoustic guitar for the lighter moments. It elevated the mood, but the songs aren't memorable enough to listen to on repeat. Still, music saved the show from being a total snooze.
