Story:
The worn-out cliché that if you achieve your dream, you will be happy, and that it is more important than family, that it's okay not to get married, it's okay to be alone, and that if you keep chasing your dream and don't compromise along the way, you might also find a relationship.

Acting/Cast
Japan top actors,
I really love the main couple, and all the actors were excellent.

Music
They could have done much more, put in much more effort musically. It seemed like they didn't invest at all.


Overall
The series started off beautifully; Unfortunately, I didn't have the patience to watch until the final episode and dropped out around episode 6. I didn't connect with the main idea of achieving a dream for the sake of happiness. It feels like a very Western concept that doesn’t quite resonate with the Japanese, but they are trying to force it in unnaturally. In my opinion, if she had understood that family, a partner, and children are the highest values, not the other way around, it might have better represented Japanese culture and felt more genuine and authentic.

It's not that one can't understand the frustration of working as an employee, especially in Japan where employees can truly suffer not only from overwork and stress but also from other issues. It's really challenging. However, portraying the idea that an independent person is happy and fulfilled or succeeds solely because of hard work is one of the biggest illusions sold to us. It gives the impression that despite having an experienced and popular cast, the audience is watching a Netflix series rather than a Japanese series.
