Age gaps and power imbalances done right

Loved it. Exactly what I wanted from this drama: sweet, soft and shot. sometimes dragging angst or arcs out for the sake of reaching X number of episodes just isn't worth it.
A fear I had going in, was that the age gap and power dynamic would be overbearing and badly represented, thus showcasing a rather toxic relationship. I was happily proven wrong: by them hanging out after working hours, and having sincere talks about age, growing up and fears, a bond strong enough is created. Their interactions feel natural and yet intimate. Ultimately, the destruction of their last remaining power imbalance is destroyed when Nozue leaves, and thus also culminates his development as a character.The age talk is still prevalent but it is not seen as a handicap.
Masterfully done.
