Ayase Haruka stars as the title character, Amemiya Hotaru, in this adaptation of Hiura Satoru's "Hotaru no Hikari" manga series. Hotaru is a twenty-something office lady who has become a "dried fish" - she has "retired" from love, and she prefers to spend her time lazily at home. Then one day, her world gets shaken up when she unexpectedly ends up living with her boss (Fujiki Naohito ). To complicate her life even further, she begins to find romance with a new employee named Makoto (Kato Kazuki).

Overall, it was definitely entertaining. I think it would be interesting if we could see during the series why Hotaru became a himono-onna in the first place, I mean a traumatic backstory/past or something. For some reason I was anticipating it.

Ayase Haruka is not cute or funny in this. She ends up being REALLY annoying. It's just so hard to watch her attempts at being cute... If you want to see cute go watch kitakawa keiko in mop girl. but in all seriousness her acting is absolutely horrible. It's overacting and lame. The script or the writing i bad enough as it is but she makes it even worse with her overacting.... sorry to break it to you but overacting doesn't make it funnier. it makes it worse.
The story/characters is just really banal and ordinary and it's just really boring. I have no idea why it's so popular. I've never seen fujiki naoto in a good drama... this being one of them.
The drama is not funny or romantic etc etc. 2 dramas that aired in the same season that are million times better than this are: hanazakari no kimitachi e, LIFE . these have better camerawork, directing, lighting, background music, etc especially LIFE. But seriously the lighting and the camerawork and the directing everything is so abysmal, you know the usual cheap j-drama feel from the like the 90s even though it's 2011 now... and this came out in 2007.

I normally watch more serious dramas but I loved this one I laughed out loud almost every episode. I loved the chemistry between Ayase and Fujiki they were perfect and I felt an attraction between them almost from the beginning, on the other hand I never felt Ayase and Kato felt anything at all about each other so the ending earns it a solid 10.
