Japan Drama Story:

Amemiya Hotaru (Ayase Haruka) 綾瀬はるか is normal nice looking office lady in an interior design company. That is when she’s working. After return home, she is a total different person.

Hotaru is very happy with her lifestyle until one day she fell in love with Teshima Makoto (Kato Kazuki) 加藤和樹, an employee in the company. She had never date and loves anybody before and this is the first time she fell in love. At the same time, the landlord and also her boss Takano Seiichi (Fujiki Naohito) 藤木直人 move in to stay and share the house with her because of separation with his wife. Adapting to the changes in the house she rented and at the same time perusing her love, thus start a comedy love story.

Feelings and Comments:

The story line was quite simple. It was just a girl that fall in love for the first time and she did not know what to do. She rely on her friend, her boss, her landlord, her housemate which is the one person to help her. Every detail of the feeling of being in love can be seen from Amemiya Hotaru. The audience was lead nicely from the beginning until the end. Few questions can be found after watching the drama. When you face the person you love, will you show the best of you or the actual you? Showing the best of you will win his/her heart but how long can you maintain? Will this become the pressure of being with him/her? If you present the actual you, then he/she might not like it. We always wanted to do something or make the best for the ones we love. That push us to do things that we normally don’t do and sometimes we end up loosing ourselves. This unnoticeable pressure can change a smiling face to a tension face. If this problem can not be solved then it will end up loving each other but unable to be together.

Things that caught my eyes:

Ayase Haruka acting with Fujiki Naohito really is fun to watch, especially their conversation. The effort and different acting of Ayase Haruka can be seen in this drama.

Japan Drama Rating:

Worth watching it. A simple love story nicely told in a worm and comedy way.

She has large boobs that can knock down almost everybody. Together they work at the handbag section and experience the lifestyle of a working woman.

Feelings and Comments:

A sexy body with large boobs really is a big issue to a woman. Either at work or during daily personal life it can be very helpful or troublesome. No matter what, women still prefer to have large boobs. It’s not just wanted to look good but it’s the confidence that comes with it. This drama shows it all using the comedy way. Of cause big boobs is not everything, without it Aoyagi Megumi still able to find her love and success in her work. Not all man likes big boobs.

Things that caught my eyes:

The acting of Itoh Misaki 伊東美咲 has improved a lot. She is much better then she was in the previous drama - Train Man.

Japan Drama Rating:

Fan of Itoh Misaki 伊東美咲 and Fukada Kyoko 深田恭子 is a must watch. This drama is mainly about both of them.
