Brilliant, tender series - misleading Title
Equuleus7825 April 2024
Beautifully crafted series about human relationships, the corrosion of loneliness and the critical role of open communication.

FL is a 32 year old office worker who is also a virgin. As life flows by she realises that if she doesn't create a circumstance to try and experience closeness she might miss her chance. Enter the ML, a shy copier service worker who hides behind his hair and mask. She takes a chance, they chat and bond over retro video games. Unknown to her, he has regrets and sadness in his life that diminish his ability to be open but both parties keep trying and the series is well resolved.

The show tackles other secondary stories of insecurity, burn out and regret but the main themes persist. Surround yourself with good people and never stop talking with kindness.

Try to get past the terrible title that implies someone will get screwed over - that neither happens or is implied. Great show, loved it 👏

Warning: Spoilers
I really liked the series, I love Japanese dramas, it's not perfect but I still liked it a lot I love I won't give any spoilers to the story but I highly recommend it, go watch it, it's on Netflix please. I only have to say that I would like to see more stories like this with an entertaining plot that is easy to consume, I want to add that some details are well done and you end up sympathizing. With the main characters and the final scene it was charming, I love the soundtrack and I found the intro creative, I gave it a 9 because, as I said, it lacked some things but if you have time Go to the.

Another Tokyo Broadcast system hit. Ripe for the picking.

Here we have the lead actress who is already 30 and is still single and hasn't had any sexual experience while her co-workers have. She seeks out someone to engage with to fulfill her wish of this desire. The first person tries but she then pushes him off. Later on she meets the copy machine technician and after getting to know each other through dates they finally try to have intercourse but it was too painful for her. They both confess to each other that it was their first time and finally were able to finish the deed. They seemed to love each other as the male lead wants to better himself for her and he explains this to her. Also the side stories with her co-workers were good as well. The best part of this was that it was short and to the point and the ending was good. A definite must watch. For those others that like to make 16 episodes or more dramas they need to see how this stuff is done. Not too long and they get their story across very well.
