Yes, it is a typical Japanese private school drama with hot butlers and jealousness, so you probably think "Oh, not again with the stereotypes!" That's what I thought at first, because the first episode felt like an anime came to life, but after watching it I felt really satisfied! (Even though it features some stereotypes...) The story is good. It could've been better to be honest, but what do you expect from this kind of genre? I did rewatch it (two times!) and I have to tell you how happy I am with Mizushima Hiro and Eikura Nana in this one. They are great together and the role of butler fits Hiro so well. Also Nana is a great actor and one of the few female actors that doesn't annoy me after a while! She is just not the typical "high-school-girl-without-back-bone" and really stands up for herself, which made it enjoyable to watch. There were some fun twists in the story and the characters were different than I expected, in a good way. Some (humorous) parts reminded me of Boys Before Flowers, so if you liked that one, you'll probably like this one as well! The soundtracks are great! I put them on my mp3 player right away. If you're into girly drama but with a different twist, you should watch this one. It's a really cute and feel good drama, but keep some tissues at hand!
