Well, this was a weird and poorly written show. Each episode is a vignette of a different woman ranging in age from high school to middle-aged who all have an encounter with Junichi which inevitably ends with them sleeping together (with the exception of one). I can see some people viewing this show as thoughtful or intellectual, like each episode should make you think deeply about it, but honestly, none of the episodes connected together with a brief exception in the last two. Until those moments in the last two, I was contemplating whether or not the episodes even took place in the same timeline.

The acting wasn't bad, but the story lacked depth or character development. You don't really learn anything about any of the characters, even Junichi, who remained the most mysterious of all even at the end, besides the fact that they are all unhappy with their lives and hooking up with a stranger gives them a brief moment of happiness. What's so frustrating is that Junichi, the one character who should tie the whole show together, has no back story. Oh, sorry, we learned that he gave up his dog when he turned 18, but that's seriously it. I really think that the writer of this show just wanted to create a story where a young attractive guy hooks up with a bunch of older women.

This show is a waste of your time. If you love Shison Jun, just go watch Kimi Wa Petto because he gets more screen time and it has an actual plot.
