Very intelligent drama about university and media

The drama focuses on a TV commentator who is hired as a PR specialist for a prestigious university. The personality of that man is very shallow. He wants to avoid difficulties and live an easy, comfortable life and his strategy to do so is to never say anything really. He always stays vague or talks about something else.

Yet he not a completely despicable person. No one is depicted as a monster, but the system itself is criticized harshly. There is a lot of intelligent social commentary on university and media in Japan. But I am sure that most of the problems are the same anywhere else in the world.

On top, the actors are really great and the cinematography is also very good, which is rare for Japanese drama.
