CUTE OFFICE ROMANCE
I started watching this for oguri shun. I have watched the Korean remake of this beforehand (not knowing it was a remake until after I watched) so I was kinda skeptic of how this one would go as the Korean version was AWFUL. However, I was pleasantly suprised! Oguri shun played the main role very well, the role of hyuga can be seen as undesirable unless its acted out properly and oguri shun showcased hyuga perfectly!! Hyuga was seen as a rather blunt individual (rather than straight up rude) and had a cute charm to him. Hyuga also had a great character arc which was satisfying to see how he tried hard to become a better person alongside the members of next innovation, their interactions were so sweet. Main girl was a very hardworking great character as well despite the fact that she cried often she wasn’t showcased as annoying but rather it seemed like a strength of hers to be so empathetic and I adored the interactions between her and hyuga. The romance was quite slowburn but very satisfying with how it played out, the airport scene was so so cute and I enjoyed how their romance concluded very much. The second female lead here in contrast to the Korean remake was much less insufferable and was overall a decent character as well as the second male lead. I enjoyed this drama much more than I expected to despite being a drama that centred around business (which I don’t care much for) I will probably rewatch some of the romance scenes again cause they were so cute. I recommend watching this and definitely staying away from the Korean remake cause it RUINED this original masterpiece
