Shibasaki Himari (27) is a cheerful and straightforward woman who works at a PR company. Despite her bright outward appearance, she has a strong sex drive, and a history of breakups caused by sexual incompatibility has left her with lingering emotional scars.
One day, as more and more of her friends get married, Himari begins to feel anxious about her own future. As usual, she vents her frustrations over drinks to H?j? Kazumi, her best friend since college and now also her coworker. Unlike Himari, Kazumi has shown no interest in finding a long-term partner and seems completely unconcerned about it. However, when Himari says she wants to meet someone she is truly compatible with, Kazumi suddenly suggests, “Why don’t you try it with me?”
Surprised by this unexpected proposal from someone who had always seemed to keep a certain distance between them, Himari is conflicted. Yet despite knowing they are best friends, the two end up crossing that line. As a result, their relationship, once built on complete honesty and friendship, begins to change.
They could always be honest with each other as friends. They thought friendship was enough. But burdened by their respective pasts, neither had been able to take the next step. Now, as they move beyond the boundaries of friendship, they find themselves caught between friendship and love in this sweet yet risky romance.

Now, before I start, I do want to say that they are completely different stories. Saikou no Rikon focuses on the aftermath of a divorce and Chugakusei Nikki is about a teacher-student relationship over time.
The similarities I found with them is that they both made me so frustrated to the point I wanted to throw myself out a window. With both dramas, the love in the love triangle is so strong that you don't know who's going to get picked or what's going to happen. It leaves you with so much suspense.
They also both have characters (in my opinion) that you can't help but hate because they end up speaking the awful truth (Haraguchi Ritsu (CN) and Uehara Akari (SNR)). They are also technically "the other woman" so their presence may be irritating at times.

Eripiyo is initially a woman leading a normal life until it is turned upside down after watching a performance of the minor idol group ChamJam, which leads her to becoming obsessed with one of its members, Maina Ichii. Despite Eripiyo's enthusiasm towards her, Maina is consistently the least popular member of the group, leaving Eripiyo to take it upon herself to buy a lot of Maina's merchandise, which mainly involves singles.
Due to her using almost all of her money to buy this merchandise, Eripiyo has only a single tracksuit she wears all the time. She frequently goes to ChamJam's concerts with her friends and fellow ChamJam fans: Kumasa, whose favorite is Reo Igarashi, and Motoi, who prefers Sorane Matsuyama. Eripiyo continues to work several part-time jobs to support Maina, and Maina herself increasingly becomes concerned that Eripiyo is pushing herself too hard for her.

age-gap with an older woman being in a position of power.
however, the love story is so pure.
I am thankful to both these dramas as they have livened up my boring life.
levels of excitement I have gotten from them is enough to sustain me for another year.
believe me, both are worth watching but require an open mind though. older woman/younger man is still an uncomfortable concept for many but if you can get past it, you will find two awesome shows
