1. okay [Rating: 5/10]
This drama is for women around forty... (not specifically) Amami Yuki plays a psychiatrist with no love life. Matsushita Yuki plays a housewife who gets bored. Otsuka Nene ends up with a rich husband who she later dumps. Tsutsui Michitaka, from one of my favorite dramas, Asunaro Hakusho, shows up. He looks around forty now too.

It's watchable but a little boring. Nothing happens in this that I haven't seen in another jdorama.

I am glad the ending was that way... If it had turn out the other way, then it would have defeat the whole main theme of the show.
Truly a feel good show especially for ladies... hmm.. ladies who wanted to be strong and independent.

I thought the first ep was boring but it definitely improved as it went on. Took a common Jdrama theme (older woman) but really did it well.

Still watching... at epi 2... I pretty like Naohito and Amami combination. A refleshing pairing of the 2.

[COMPLETE.SS] dramas focusing on the around 40 generation, around 35-44 years old. even if you're not an 'arafo' to relate, you can still like this one; I am one of the example. It deals with problems faced by this generation and I believe is handled very well by the director and scriptwriter. amami yuki is perfectly fitted for her rol, I've always admire her; she's a beauty even at the age of 41 (her real age), she's strong, and she's a very good actress. Her chemistry with Naohito Fujiki got no complaints from me. They're compatible with each other, and their cute and funny interaction is really fun to watch. what got to me most are the reality shown in the drama, and how we're able to see the characters, problems develop in a natural way, and also the strong characteristic of satoko (amami yuki's character) with her strong ideal. other characters are woven well into the settings; the dissatisfied housewife, and the career women who is concerned more in the appearance of happiness than a real one.

apparently appealing to people around 40... not very dramatic to keep on watching... pockets of comic relief here and there...
