Cringey and childish

From the synopsis this sounded like something I'd really enjoy, as I love police dramas. However almost everything about this was ridiculous. The main character (police officer) was extremely childish, and so were all of his colleagues. It really broke the immersion for me seeing a bunch of police officers acting like children when they're clearly all supposed to be adults. Even people in their early 20's don't act so immature. The scene's with them were all very slapstick-esque which I really disliked.

There are also a lot of plot holes or storylines that don't get explained in a satisfactory way... It felt like they were included to create drama and not as proper plots.

The chemistry between the main actors was pretty good, I liked the more domestic scenes and the relationship between the two of them. The secondary couple I disliked as I felt like they were just stereotypes, the other police officer especially because he seemed to be about 13 years old...

Overall there are some good scenes in this but it wasn't worth the time spent on it, I wish it was an actually gritty police BL but oh well.

Understated and relaxing

I really enjoyed this - it was very understated and although it was short I felt like the characters developed well.

From the first few scenes I was expecting the main focus to be on Shun and I couldn't read Nagisa at first, he came across as the typical 'aloof and mysterious' guy. However this changed by episode 2, although he doesn't say much you can see how he is feeling from his expressions which he is trying not to let show. I really enjoyed watching the actor for Nagisa and I felt like the plot of him coming to accept himself was really well done. I personally don't like the trend of overacted and unrealistic dramas so this was perfect for me.

The side characters were good, I liked Ako but not so much Chika but she sort of redeems herself by the end. The setting was also great, the beachy vibes were perfect for the summer romance plot!
