I laughed, I cried, arguably better than previous parts!!

Yoshida Kotaro (Kurosawa) is hands down the power horse of this thing and his scenes with Hayashi Kento (Maki) are absolute peak comedy. There is a bunch of side characters, all beloved from the previous installments, and all make the entire drama a delicious meal, so funny and special all the time.

1. Story: It was so much fun a change of dynamic with Kurosawa being employed by Haruta and Maki, still having special feelings for Haruta, still fighting with Maki, but on a different level. The story surprised me in places and I couldn't fully predict where writers would take it, which is great. The Izumi-Kiku plot was weird in places which is why I couldn't give full 10 for a story.

2. Acting: Absolutely brilliant. Please watch another BL themed work To Each His Own where Yashida played a horrible awful boss, it shows his range. What a wonderful actor.

3. Music: main theme is nice, but the rest is forgettable.

4. Rewatch value: I don't rewatch dramas, but this one I will at some point.

Thank you creators of Ossan's Love, the entire franchise is incredible!!
