Quirky drama with May-December, sisterhood, friendship, and coworkers' relationships. It began with the FL being bizarrely crude, dirty, and old-manly; she did improve over the episodes. I still wanted to comb her hair most scenes; she was a hair stylist, for heaven's sakes!

I wasn't sure how it would end for certain, and I always appreciate when the writers keep me in suspense, even when it doesn't end the way I wish.

There were lies, manipulation, and infidelity galore, but most was handled with a light hand, and I, angst-adverse to the core, was able to handle them. I had a harder time handling the kiss-the-scar scene; that was pure cringe. It's also sad to know actor Miura Haruma committed suicide seven years later due to depression. I wonder if Covid isolation was a factor. Such a hard time for most.

I've added a half-star for the warm relationship between Sakura and Rintaro. Well written, Nakatani Mayumi!
