I have only seen the 1st episode and tuned out. I was expecting a lot when I heard about Ohno's new drama but somehow it was just bland. The setting, pacing of the drama and acting on Ohno and Haru's part was a disappointment. It's not bad, the premise of the story is quite interesting but as you said, the main lead's chemistry together is almost nonexistent.
I'm probably being a bit more critical on Ohno because I am an Arashi fan and his character portrayal is very similar to his real self.
In terms of acting, the 3 you mentioned, excluding Toma is definitely Johnny's best actors. I'd also have to include KimuTaku in there too. He may not be as flexible as Nagase and Jun, but his dramas have all done well and definitely has the charisma.
