Rating for the first episode is 15.7. Amami Yuki is the lead actress for this drama.

hahaha..i'm a bit lazy now...
the rating looks good..

I watched the 1st episode yesterday... reminded me of Love Revolution.
The female lead is also a doctor. haha~~

But of course, in comparision, Love Revolution has more passion.. but this looks good anyway...

Synopsis
39-year-old Ogata Satoko is a highly capable psychiatrist who is single. She's forthright, a caring older sister and reliable in her job and in private. Her interests are staying in luxurious Japanese inns and watching stand-up comedy videos.

Satoko hasn't had a boyfriend in the past five years. Nevertheless, she derives satisfaction from work and isn't worried about her finances. Among her good friends that she hangs out with are 35-year-old Morimura Nao, her junior who proclaims that she won't marry, and 39-year-old Oikawa Sadao, her peer since high school. Satoko is happily enjoying the single life.

At an alumni reunion as everyone is on the verge of 40, Takeuchi Mizue, her good friend since high school who is now a full-time housewife, rushes Satoko into action. "If you want children, you should marry now" and "It's women's happiness", but both are lost on Satoko, who isn't convinced.

One day, Satoko attempts to cheer up Nao, who is downcast over a shocking incident, and goes to her favourite hot-spring inn. There she coincidentally encounters a breakup between a handsome but somewhat odd man, Okamura Keitaro, and his girlfriend...--jade_frost

quite enjoyable dorama.. :woot:
makes e wonder, do amami yuki has been married in her real life?

Surprisingly good and enjoyable! The issues revolving arond the little boy and his alcoholic mom were so touching! Also, the budding romance between the two leads is wonderful to watch. I hadn't even considered this drama for watching, now I'm glad I did!

It is quite enjoyable :woot:

alcoholic mother? where?? who???

In episode 3. At least, with all those bottles around, and the way she acted in the scene when Okamura visited the kid, made me think she was alcoholic. But of course I watched without subs, so I might have missed some important details there...

oh... I haven't watch ep3 yet :D

I'm really fond of this one :woot: Ratings are fairly decent too.

I lost my interest right after Masaya Kato's character gone :sweat:

maybe I'll skip to the last episode. someday
