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
