it's the first of yamapi's dramas i've watched. it made me fall in love with him so much that i went on and watched code blue. if you like aragaki yui and toda erika, as i do, you'll enjoy that one as well.

at first i thought i needed a stronger love line, but in the end i realized the plot works perfectly fine without it. every episode is funny, witty, exciting, and surprising.
