Nanao was perfect for this role, bold & sexy, with a killer gaze. Sato Shori also did a great job in portrayal of a naive and scared rookie. The support cast was also good in they roles.
Music was good but nothing special or tantalising LoL.
Definitely good for a binge rewatch, for Nanao’s kicks.

Acting was average. Nanao did a good job being 'Miss Devil'. It was a near expressionless role to be honest, but her makeup and dressing style were so on-point that the character's lack of expression was worth overlooking HAHA. Sato Shori acted as a rookie employee. His naivety can be irritating but it is completely relevant and understandable of his character. After a while, he comes to complement Miss Devil. They make a pretty unusual yet comedic duo.
The music itself was nice to listen to. I must say though, whoever was in charge did a terrible job in transitioning music between two different scenes - music was literally just CUT OFF when a new scene came on screen. It was jarringly obvious and painful to notice.
I think what was interesting about the show was that behind the unrealistic and over-the-top acting and portrayals of work ethics in the show, you'll unexpectedly realise that a lot of it is based on the actual reality of work-life in Japan. It also subtly covers some very relevant issues regarding Japan's workplace concerns, such as the implications of the "work-style reforms" that were introduced to reduce overtime work in the country.
All in all, it's a show with a heavy focus on mystery, and you won't know much until the last 2 episodes of the show. Nonetheless, it ties up quite nicely, and has a fitting end for a mysterious but misunderstood woman like Miss Devil. It's worth a one-time watch I guess, but I'm not sure if I'd watch it again. Maybe I would, just to see Nanao looking bomb and kicking butt.
