Synopsis

Nakajima looks up to his father, who was a war photographer, but can only get a job as an assistant for gravure magazines.

Mizuno is a provisional high school teacher, currently on probation.

Nishimura is Mizuno's best friend, whose boyfriend has been avoiding her since she discovered she was pregnant.

Ichihara works at a magazine where he is being blackmailed into sexual favours by his chief editor.

Park, on Twitter, takes on the persona of a doctor, when he is actually working at a company that sells medical equipment to disinterested doctors, and at the same time, trying to take care of his younger sister.

This is a story about the blossoming friendship of five young people who were brought together by Twitter, and their journey to finding honesty with each other and with themselves.

Disagree with some opinions

9 / 10

I don't think it is as bad as many people say. I think it's a very good dorama, the dorama doesn't focus always on any character, it has lots of side stories and it focuses on many characters mixing good moments where u laugh a lot and painful or sad ones.

My only complaint is the ending, so don't expect a big ending, but the plot is quite good, one of the best Jdorama of drama genre I've seen

Poor

3 / 10

Boring plot, no chemistry between the characters, and some very disturbing subplots. If the best actors in JDrama are starring in such a clumsy series, then Japanese drama is in serious trouble.
