Rooting for 4 women to be happy in love...

First, the premise of the story is way stupid for me. A mysterious organization Peanut Butter Sandwich (PBS) that do... something that i quite don't understand. Peeping Tom as its best.

STORY
Tachibana Tsubaki works for this organization doing... research maybe. She cannot intervene, and what we receive in the drama is this way of PBS telling the story of 4 women trying to find happiness and love. They have successful careers and different personalities.
Matsuoka Akane grew poor and wrongfully thinks that she will achieve happiness by marrying a wealthy man. She dates several men, uses them, gets bored, and dump them. One day she meet Igarashi Shu, not wealthy, but a former school partner… Maybe happiness is something different…
Yamashita Miwa has no self-esteem, so she is explore by Kaneko Shin who has sex with her and uses her when he wants. She is ok with that, being almost a slave. Then, she gets some drops of love for herself and tries to be the first choice of someone.
Katagiri Sayo worked her hass of to be succefull and she accomplished that. She is a well payed woman who wants a man that can understand her ambition and complements her for her achievements. She dated a married person, she falls in love for a man who she discovers is about to marry and…
She used to unburden to her junior Aoki Haruaki, about her friends problems and her own. Through her counselling and advises to the others, especially Miharu, she understand that maybe her happiness could be close to her and with someone that she never consider as a boyfriend…
Morimoto Miharu has a seven-year relationship with Tanaka Ryota. It is not a healthy relation because there is boredom, lack of communication and expressions of love. Ryota does not help at home, forgets important dates, does not have sexual desire and do not understand that Miharu is unhappy. On the other hand, Miharu never express her feelings to him. One day she goes to a blind date and meet Tokita Yuto, a very sweet person that makes her heart even more confused. After some decisions, she decide her future giving another chance to Ryota. Do not know if a person can change much and begin to act in a different way, but...
Tachibana deserves also tp find a man. And the peanut butter eaters should have some kind of therapy or treatment.

ACTING - i like it. The fact that the actresses were gorgeous maybe turned me a little bias

OST/MUSIC - didn't catch my attention, but i watch some episodes in silence

REWATCH - i have a large playlist of dramas, so maybe i will not rewatch this. But, if someone ask me to i will do it.

OVERALL - a nice short drama with 4 strong women as I enjoy. Even Miwa was a very interesting woman that did not understand soon how good she was. The men were… I like the personality of Igarashi and Aoki. Ryota was nice in the end, but a lousy boyfriend. Tokita was sweet and had a great gesture at the end, but love does not choose kindness first.
Miwa master is an awful person. Usually in a master and servant relationship, the servant is the best.

If you enjoy people finding themselves through love and others I think you would like this. Try it!
