A chill series
While it has rather an average story it still stands firm because it's overall fluid & well paced - nothing too much out of ordinary happens that would make you facepalm and question the writing. If you're in it just for an idealized romantic comedy and don't expect more, it's worth watching.::Characters::
It misses depth as the characters aren't too developed - in fact, the main protagonists at the end of the story weren't any different than at the start. They are somewhat one-dimensional and while they are rather walking stereotypes I didn't find it too overdone. The main protagonists have fun chemistry and it's very comic at time, in a good way.
::Theme, direction & plot::
The entire story basically revolves around the premise introduced to us in the first episode. It's light-hearted, funny but still keeps you worried about the new patients. The pacing of the series was good all over. The plot was believable, nothing really stood out too negatively.
Overall, as long as you enjoy the characters and aren't looking for anything too deep it's quite nice to watch.

Watch for the humor but expect the pacing to drop off
I picked this up instantly upon come across some of the dry humor snippets on YT.My main complaint is that the pacing was a bit iffy, subjectively speaking - there were some really boring moments (mainly the female cast - Kaede ), I felt like it kept pulling attention from what I actually cared about - interraction of the protagonist with the team. I found her acting rather awkward and overdone - the rest of the characters fit the main theme much better. I wish there were even more Nii moments where he referenced stuff, it was my favourite part.
The characters were quite solid, esp. the main protagonist and Matsukoma, they have great synergy: cold versus warm. The other chars don't fall short either, if you wanted a group of diverse personalities at one place, it's gonna be in this jdrama.
Not much story to expect as this is just a sitcom, nevertheless, the ending doesn't leave you disappointed, there's a bit of closure.
I say, watch this if you enjoy the overall humor but expect to sleep through some episodes when it strays away.
