I liked all the characters in this story. I personally felt that sahara sensei and toki kun didn't quite match that well. Something about them feels like an odd pairing. I did really like the side characters and the romance between the childhood friends. It would have been cool if Rise had a love interest as well.

I think what I dont love about this drama compared to other BLs is that the scenes focus only on the characters and not the environment at all. The pacing also feels too quick and I feel like it could have been edited to be better. The casting of the characters is not bad, but there is a lack of chemistry between the main couple that makes it hard to love. I do commend everyone for their work in this drama.

Overall I would recommend this BL, but prioritize other better BLs before this one.
