Don't be fooled by the poster. Not steamy but light, enjoyable drama

Light, enjoyable drama about work, love (friends-turn-lovers trope) and friendships.

What I liked:
1) Umi characterisation - Animals is about a woman challenging herself personally & professional. I like that we see changes in Umi - she was miserable in that first job but once she changed to a different job, she thrived!
2) Wonderful cast - Airi Suzuki was great in her role.
3) Friendships - This theme was prevalent in the drama. It's wonderful that Umi stayed in touch with her formal colleague despite being in a different company. I also like the friendship between Umi and Kazao.

What I disliked:
1) Romance - wish there were more romatic scenes once they became a couple
2) Based on title & poster, I expected sexy J-drama but haha I was deceived.

Favourite scene:
Particularly enjoyed 'choose an outfit for 1st date' scene.
