The premise for this was intriguing but it wasn’t well written.

The FL has been having an affair with her married boss for years. Then in walks the ML (Dori Sakurada) a colleague who has transferred to the Tokyo office from NYC. He understandably turns all the women’s heads in the office including the FL. Right away, he discovers the affair between the FL and her boss, and immediately starts demanding she breaks off the relationship, which was odd since he knew nothing about her. He does give her some good advice about looking out for herself. Claims to dislike her, but then proceeds to come on to her before showing up at her apartment late one night demanding she ends things with her boss then attempts to seduce her. She surrenders to the seduction, sleeping with him. Why is baffling considering she knows nothing about this guy.

But suddenly after knowing the ML for about a day and sleeping with him, she has feelings for him. And thus breaks off her affair with her boss as the ML has instructed. The FL has no personality, no self-awareness or realizations of her own. Throughout the series most of her decisions are directed or heavily influenced by the men in her life.

The characters had no depth and were simply there to serve the plot. Hence the “love story” in this was not endearing at all.

The best thing about this was Dori Sakurada. It’s always great to see him, but even he is not enough to save this series.
