Honestly, this whole thing just read like a slice of life, not a whole lotta plot goin on there. And other comments said this, but maybe the novel was more fleshed out, cuz I do not understand how Joon and Daiki fell in love at all but okay. Also the characterization was all over the place and it was def not helped by the same face. Like Taichi was established as some kinda antagonistic role? That would "steal" whoever or whatever belonged to Daiki? So he hits on Joon when they first meet. But after, it shows he genuinely cares and wanted to protect Daiki and his late wife? And even Joon and Toma? And he ends up being super "I LOVE YOU BIG BROOO" to Daiki like I legit thought they were actual brothers and was so confused when it turned out they wer cousins. Similarly, Joon was simple, but sweet at the beginning. And I was thinking how it was cute that he could also rely on Sho. But then season two assassinated his character and he's always yellin at Sho like whattttt. And when the hell was Sho even dating the lawyer? Season 1 showed somethin goin on between them with lawyer saying Sho needed to stay away and then season 2 hits us with the "they're dating." Okayyy. Again, maybe the novel is better, idk. I honestly wanted to drop it but eh the slice of life with these silly yakuza men takin care of a child was cute enough so I got through it all.
