The drama had the potential to be great, but it fell flat. The drama gives viewers an inside look at the life of a hostess. It's a brutal field, with tons of egos and politics and drama. But the script writing fell short. There were too many repetitive cat fight scenes between the hostesses that just annoyed me to no end. Matsuda Shota was the best actor in the entire drama. No surprise there. He was the only one who managed to pull off his troubled character well. So of course I was super disappointed that by the end of the series, he had very little character growth or meaningful dialogue or scenes with the main character. Kato Rosa is attractive. But she didn't really portray her character with enough conviction or finesse. 10 episodes, and many face slaps later (the drama has a good number of them!), I was irritated. With a good lead actress, better script and more scenes with Matsuda, this could have been a decent drama instead of mediocre.
