"Hanae Aoishi is set to turn 30. She works for a general trading company and has never taken a day off or been late for work. She dresses pleasantly plain and has zero dating experience.
She attends a company party and drinks with part-time employee Yuto Tanokura. He is a handsome university student. Through the evening, Hanae becomes drunk and passes out. When she wakes up, Hanae finds Yuto Tanokura sleeping next to her and he is naked. She becomes confused about what happened and takes the day off from work for the first time. To come out of her shell, Hanae decides to date Yuto Tanokura who is 9 years younger than her." (from dramawiki)
At this time Yu Asao, the CEO of a food company located in the same building as her company, begins to have feelings for Hanae." (from dramawiki)

Interesting synopsis: +1
The premise that our heroine is a reliable woman dedicated to work who finally takes a day off after years of serving her company is very interesting. So, why is she finally taking a day off? Well, watch to find out! Hahaha.

Story development: +1
Yes, though this is a quite cliche setting where a woman in her 30s is still inexperience with love then suddenly meets a guys who turns her world upside down, I still think the story development is good. It showed how awkward making such relationship can be, but it feels quite thrilling as well.

Conclusion: +1
Yes, it's so nice that they can be together after years. They waited, and I think they already deserve each other.

While Ayase Haruka's acting ability is still very limited, in my opinion, I guess she fits the role very well. Fukushi Sota is a charm, and I was really looking at him and his expressions while working with Ayase Haruka. He may be a popular prince in shoujo manga live-action adaptations right now (where his female counterparts are almost of the same age as him), it can arouse curiosity how he'll manage a role of a prince for a 30-year old woman. I think this is something new for him. I'm glad to see Naka Riisa back acting again, I think this is the first drama where I've seen her after she gave birth. Chiba Yudai is a delight, I'm glad to see him in this drama as well.

Portrayal of roles: +1
Well, Ayase Haruka must have already mastered the innocent/demure woman type, I have this image that most of her roles are like that. I wonder if she can ever pull other types of roles though. Fukushi Sota impressed me this time. His expressions were a little stiff in a few times, but he's cute. Oh well, I'll forgive that. But, I really think he pulled off this one just fine. I'll consider that there might be a little pressure for him too since he's the youngest among the cast members. I was really watching Naka Riisa expressions, I missed seeing her. If she isn't married, I would be shipping her with Chiba Yudai already. I like their pairing here, they are pretty awkward but adorable!

Character development: +1
I guess they were able to learn and be responsible for themselves. I like it that they didn't run away, and they tried to face their problems because they know they're already adults.

Didn't really made an impact on me, or maybe I'm not just interested. Hahaha.

Every episode was a fun watch: +1
Yes, I'm pretty surprised that I enjoyed every episode even if it has Ayase Haruka in it. Lol. She really makes me feel awkward when I see her.
Made me anticipate for the next episodes: +1
Yes, it entertaining and it'll keep you wanting to watch more of it.
It became a favorite: +1
Yes, I'm not going to reject it just because Ayase Haruka is in it. I think she was pretty decent here (since she has mastered this kind of role hahaha!) It's a good watch.

Final Rating: 9/10
Other comments/thoughts:
Maybe woman who's in their 30s who haven't experienced love can relate to this and have will to meet more people, who knows you might meet the one along the way. Dedication at work might be important, but it's important to go out and meet new people as well. :) (I'm not really one to talk though. Hahaha!)
