Fukuhara Kota is a bumbling college student who is plagued by terrible luck. Although he never gets down about it, you can bet if something could possibly go wrong when he's around, it almost certainly will!
One day he is about to walk in front of a car and end up in a traffic accident when he is saved by a fellow college student named Naoya Shinomiya. The latter is Kota's polar opposite; his "problem" is that he is "cursed" with endless good fortune.
Kota is grateful for Naoya's assistance, and tries to ask his new acquaintance to be his friend - but phrases his request badly and accidently leads Naoya to believe he is asking for them to be lovers. The "lucky" Naoya surprisingly agrees and the duo embarks on an unorthodox relationship.
Will Kota's chaos bring a taste for the unknown into Naoya's life? And will romance bring spell the end of Kota's bad luck?

I think we all know by now that I'm a sucker for a BL drama, and while I enjoyed watching this drama, for me I felt that it was missing something, maybe it because it seemed a little rushed, and I didn't feel like the ending gave me much closure.
I loved the cast, I thought they did an amazing job, I'd love to see Sota Ryosuke in a more serious role, to see how his acting skills really are because I don't think we got to see much of his acting skills in this drama as Kota because he was always having to be upbeat. Which at times I will admit got a little repetitive and boring. I loved Naoya as a character, I felt we saw more growth and background for his character compared to Kota, and I loved watching Sato Yusuke playing him, I'd also love to check out more of his dramas.
I felt this drama seemed more modern compared to other BL dramas that I've watched in that it seemed more accepting to be gay, in the way that even though Kota was the typical but I'm a guy, I have to like other girls, their friends could tell there was feelings between the two leads and were trying to encourage those feelings. I also love that by the end there also seems to be a hint of girls love, so this drama doesn't just stick to the whole boys only love interest for it's characters.
Overall I'll recommend this drama, because it's short and sweet about how relationships can develop and no matter someone's luck it can help the other party and that even if someone is privileged with good luck, doesn't mean they're happy, sometimes you need a little chaos to make you equals.
