Wowc
I had no expectations for this drama. I actually dove right into it after finishing another drama. What attracted me to it was the list of actresses involved. All other knowledge of the basis of the show was limited.
I have never before seen a drama focused on the struggle of women. What a depressingc yet uniquely inspirational selection of stories! With just four episodes, each one stands alone. Each one features a female struggling through life.
There is a moral in each story, and at the end something is resolved. I thoroughly enjoyed the second episode, starring Horikita Maki, but it was Ueno Jurifs final episode that really gripped my heart. I was in tears, and even now, after having finished it, I can sense her loneliness and yearning. She is definitely a strong, solid actress | and worthy of all our votes!
All four actresses (Ueto Aya, Horikta Maki, Yamada Yu, and Ueno Juri) were superb, and managed to take each powerful plot and make it their own story.
A fabulous drama. I canft wait to start part two!
