She knows that this isn't the best thing, but can't find the strength right now to do anything except choose the easy way to do things. This causes her to start getting down on herself. Luckily though, she doesn't give up hope completely, and tries to take things as they come. Which proves to help to some degree. Suddenly, one day, she's offered to join a small company started by a star designer Nukui Kotaro (Tsutsumi Shinichi). Like Toko, Kotaro hasn't had much luck at work either. Even so, this is still the same guy that Toko admired when she was younger. Naturally, Toko is thrilled to be able to work with the man and quits her stable job at a large corporation, but eventually finds out that he is about as insensitive as you can get, and is self-centered to boot. This really gets to Toko. What's even worse is that her invitation was just an unfortunate misunderstanding and Kotaro isn't interested at all to keep her at the company.   #### **Cast** - **Fukatsu Eri** ... *Motomiya Toko (30)* - **Tsutsumi Shinichi** ... *Nukui Kotaro (35)* - Yada Akiko ... *Kuramochi Haruna (23)* - Sakaguchi Kenji ... *Kimura Sogo (25)* - Nishimura Masahiko ... *Yoshitake Nobuo (40)* - Kuga Yoko ... *Teraishi Kaori* - Nekoze Tsubaki ... *Suda Maki* - Sugawara Toshimi ... *Hasegawa Ikuko* - Shiga Kotaro ... *Kusunoki Tateaki* - Tanihara Shosuke ... *Kuramochi Yusuke* - Kino Hana ... *Kuramochi Sumiko* - Kodama Kiyoshi ... *Kuramochi Ken* - Tonesaku Toshihide ... *Nakazawa Kazufumi* - Ishida Taro ... *JPN Resort President* - Oshikiri Moe ... *Kimura's friend*   #### **Production Credits** - **Screenwriter:** Aizawa Tomoko - **Planning:** Ishihara Takashi, Suzuki Yoshihiro - **Producer:** Funatsu Koichi - **Director:** Wakamatsu Setsuro, Murakami Masanori, Muratani Yoshinori - **Music:** Sumitomo Norihito   #### **Awards** - **32nd Television Drama Academy Awards:** Best Actress (**Fukatsu Eri**)  - [**English Subtitles**](https://www.d-addicts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=165765)   **My other uploads with Fukatsu Eri:** - [[jmovie] (ハル) (Haru) (1996) DVDRip RAW](https://nyaa.si/view/1093934) - [[jdrama] 天気予報の恋人 Tenki-yoho no Koibito (2000) HDTVRip 720p RAW](https://nyaa.si/view/1155649) - [[jdrama] 空から降る一億の星 Sora Kara Furu Ichioku no Hoshi (2002) DVDRip RAW](https://nyaa.si/view/1079422) - [[jdrama] スローダンス Slow Dance (2005) HDTVRip RAW](https://nyaa.si/view/1152052) - [[jdrama] 西遊記 Saiyuuki (2006) HDTVRip RAW](https://nyaa.si/view/1184919) - [[jdrama] CHANGE (2008) HDTVRip 720p RAW](https://nyaa.si/view/1149140) - [[jdrama] [SP] 駅路 Ekiro (2009) RAW](https://nyaa.si/view/1088397) - [[jdrama] [SP] ステキな隠し撮り Suteki na Kakushidori (2011) 720p RAW](https://nyaa.si/view/1091595)
