Comments:

1. From the screenwriter of Tokyo Tower (+264, -22)

2. You can tell from the title alone that's gonna be boring (+1702, -68)

3. Yaay! (+88, -90)

4. There are so many dramas with this kind of setting that just reading the synopsis makes me not wanna watch it (+1056, -29)

5. Sounds like a failure (+411, -30)

6. I don't think Nagase-kun has a hit work to his name... What will be his representative work? (+960, -36)

7. They keep making so many stories about rich and commoners falling in love, lol (+641, -8)

8. Someone more handsome would've been better (+283, -242)

9. Enough of these rich man poor girl stories already (+553, -2)

10. What a weird combo (+178, -8)

11. Yamashita was a Kinpuri wota right? This might be a dream for her (+391, -27)

12. Yamashita Mizuki was a Kimpuri otaku lol. She's a winner among the otakus! It's all about face in this world! (+328, -23)

13. I don't really understand what's so pretty about Yamashita Mizuki (+339, -53)

14. This kind of Korean drama-like setting can be immersive  even if it's not realistic if it's a foreign drama, but it's clichéd if it's done by Japanese in Japan. (+172, -11)

15. They're both only 25? Nagase has been on TV for such a long time and Yamashita has graduated from being idol so I though they're a bit older (+154, -12)

16. They are the same age and have the same professional idol look, so they make a good match. They might actually fall in love. (+19, -40)

17. They'll probably end up dating and marrying... (+70, -89)

18. The thrifty woman is a bit strong-willed and speaks up to the heir without hesitation, and that's what makes him attracted to her, right? (+393, -3)
