Personal Comment:
I just finish watching the first few episode and it is really funny especially Gallen being so cold towards everyone including his co-workers. Be expected to watch Gallen and Myolie arguing all the time. I can’t remember if I saw any drama where Gallen was the bad person. I still love his character in Golden Faith. One of my favorite. By the way, the voice over for the SIU PA sounds like the voice for Cooking Master Boy anime.
