Some good, some bad. But it's ok. Maybe because the story was too short.

Taken place at "Bar Air", this woman empowerment drama unfolds 3 stories about love, relationaship, friendship, jealousy, hatred, glass ceiling.... All 4 women were left "manless" at the end but coming out stronger by finding something valuable about themselves.

My fave is the 3rd story: Fighting among themselves. The theme song is very good too.

That is the theme of the drama that is repeatedly fed to us throughout by the bartender and the movie poster. Love is painful. Love makes you cry, love makes you do evil things, but love makes you laugh and makes you strong. Through the 3 stories, we are shown all these. Though the stories seem quite far stretched and too complicated at times, but these things do happen in life. Women do do such things sometimes for love. And yet, love is not always a happy ending. In fact, most of the time it is bittersweet. And yet, we go through the circle over and over again, because we cannot help but fall in love.......And perhaps that is the reality of life too.
Anywayzs~ kudos to great acting to Miki Nakatani, Tokiwa Takako and Kou Shibasaki...... loved Bar Air... wish there was something like that in my country..
Food for thought:Another interesting thing is the cocktails that the different girls drink. Miki Nakatani's drink seems to be a gin and tonic straight up... perhaps showing how she's such a power lady in her career and stuff, Tokiwa Takako drinks a manhanttan which somehow symbolizes the cosmopolitan urge of hers, while at the end, the bartender creates a new cocktail for the two leads, which he aptly names "love quotient".

The first story, are so complicated and too unbelievable. The second story, more like a comedy with very nice couple and very funny because they're fighthing a lot, too bad the ending is unpredictable. The third story, even there are Takashi Kashiwabara who is tottaly cute, I still don't like it.

May be good if just the second story is make longer.

this drama kept me thinking about it after days of finishing it.. i loved all three stories, but the first was the most memorable... okada junichi really did a great job, surpassing his kisarazus' performance.. the casting was great.. everyone seemed perfect for their role.. all the female leads were superb.. special credit to nakatani miki for being so so good.. inagaki goro seem perfect for his role as natsume.. and tsunku and [bar AIR] fit into the show without a glitch.. i thought it was a very good idea to put three stories together.. somehow it worked even though i'm more used to the normal 12 ep 1 story style.. perhaps tv stations should try more of these type of dramas, the novelty makes it even better..

A drama evolved around 4 women and their view on love. My favorite is the second story with Tokiwa Takako. This is a good show! But I want more from this well known cast.
