Short Josei Stories, slight dark
I actually started this by season 3, cause it says it's the best one, and in comparison with this one, s03 is really better. This one is dark&bitter.Episode one: Stamina Tomboy tries to fix her age crises & need the wrong way
Episode two: Age gap. Nice boss, Nice employee, Nice relationship.
Episode three: Flexibility&her relationships, bitter ending
Episode four: Youngsters goes Halloween, she changes but still herself.
The pace here is faster but not in a good way, felt senseless in many moments. Episode two and four has some slight fluffy vibe while episode one and three has more subtle meaning, both FL has unhealthy mindset towards romance: at ep 01: She goes to skinship when she's troubled with something instead of deal with it. ep 03: She adapts too much when in a relationship, losing her friends and her sense of herself.
I suggest do what I did, start by season 3, their stories are a better warm up for this ones. Overall the production, OST and acting are still good here, just the mood is different.

S1-3 combined on Viki app. An OK watch to pass the time.
aka: The Night I Became An AnimalGreat variety of characters and differing relationship scenarios, with some really selfish ones in the mix, who had no regard for the feelings of others.
My favourite couple were the country girl and tattoo artist.
At the other end of the spectrum, was the guy who didn't want kids with his wife; and the last couple, were just... "what the hell?"!
Sometimes it did feel like the individual story was built around the very samey bed scene they almost all ended up with.
I found myself rolling my eyes once too often.
I did like the entire cast, though.

Anthology of stories on the unleased of women's repressed desires
Out of the 14 available episodes, I have watched 13 episodes for free on Viki before Viki moved this series under Viki Pass Standard.This series is one of the first jdorama that I watched so I was surprised by the steamy content. After awhile, it felt repetitive but there are 3 episodes that I enjoyed very much.
Episode 7 - when a mousy & timid female employee was paired with high performing male employee. After a year of working together, male employee informed her that he was going to move to different town. She was devastated and then they spent the night together. The main actor & actress had great chemistry and I quite enjoyed the scene of post-sex chat that they had.
Episode 2 - It's about a younger male employee who confessed his crush on his older female employee. Their kissing and intimate scenes were steamy, good and leads to the next scene. I like that the next day the guy teased the female lead about calling each other by first names.
Episode 4 - The halloween episode. They started off as strangers but got along very well that night. I like the morning after scene because they were cosy and becoming friends. So it seemed like it wasn't just a one night stand.
