  • He participates in BMX competitions- early on in his career he had an injury which had prevented him from playing for a while
  • Saeki also workds a part time job to keep up with bills and payments






Naohito Fujiki As Rintaro Tachibana



  • Tachibana is see i believe in the first episode as well- where he takes on the role as the president of the Hair Salon, working alongside Sakura
  • He is a very young refreshing character, similar to Sakura, he is also very lively and often times argues with Sakura about the smallest of things
  • He is a very mysterious guy I guess you could say.. They don't necessarily tell much about him other than the fact that he is the total opposite of Sakura 







Naoko Iijima As Shima Hasegawa



  • Hasegawa-san is one of the two best friends of Sakura
  • She was recently divorced and is now living the free single life working as a Yoga/Fitness instructor
  • She is often seen flirting around with many men which back fires against her during the series




Nene Otsuka As Miki Takeuchi



  • Miki is also a best friend of Sakura that is seen throughout the series 
  • She is a wife and a mother of two children
  • throughout the series she becomes a insecure as she feels that she is nothing but a "housewife" 
  • She tries to solve things in her own manner but things get a little out of hand.

Summary
The Pilot episode immediately kicks off by exposing Sakura in her Natural Habitat, messy unclean apartment along with her untamed wild funny personality. She is the Vice President of the Happy Go Lucky Hair Salon. Her life as a very compassionate loving salonist has been interrupted by the Handsome Tachibana Rintaro where he becomes the leading president after discussions by the "upper men" 
*On a side note: Sakura 39years old who has been single for quite a while so throughout the series she seeks for sweet sweet lovin'*
^ now ! with that being said, her friends suggest her to go to a  Gokon (Group dating)- at this point this is where she meets the young Hiroto Saeki. At this point their relationship sets on in a direction that will lead you an endless road of laughter and nonsense.

Response

It's been a while since I've watch Japanese drama's but I have to say, in terms of Naohito Fujiki and the other well known actors, i would think that this drama series is one of the best on their list of roles they've played. This is the kind of drama that just makes you jealous of your own life ! LOL 
Throughout the shows you will always ask yourself, "How come my life isn't like this?" or "Why can't I meet people like him/her?"  It gives you a reality check like "gurrrll, you ain't got this, you aint got time fo dis !" LOL something like that 
Over all i think it's very funny very romantic and i look forward to the rest of the episodes! <3

Heres the trailer for any of your curious minds~


Well that's it  for my review ! 

Cheers !
