It's definitely a fish out of water story, and isn't deep or groundbreaking, but it's nice. This drama is really cute, and is more about Misaki Yoko's journey to live her new dream than anything else.

She meets a young mechanic whose dream was to become a top pilot, but has settled for working on planes. She really lacks the decorum and submissiveness desired in a Japanese flight attendant. However, she has a hard time fitting in because of her free-spirited ways and punk-rock personality. My biggest complaint is that the final resolution is too understated for my tastes.Ī young woman decides that she really wants to be a flight attendant after her band breaks up. It's crazy and quirky, and there's plenty of romantic rivalry between the brothers, and it's just a fun ride. I avoided this one for months, but finally broke down to watch it, and I was surprised by how much I liked it. The story also includes robots, crazy inventions, plotting underlings, and frequent sauna scenes. However, the boys have long-standing rivalries and feuds, and things won't be easy or straightforward. When her husband (in name only, natch) dies soon after their marriage, she must find a way to bring the bickering boys together to secure her inheritance. Also, the ending had pretty good resolution for our main characters.Ī light-hearted, silly little story of a young woman saddled with debt who is offered a way out if she'll marry a strange older man and be a mother to his five eccentric adopted sons. Recommendation: Worth trying if you like office and noona romances (Anego is a Japanese equivalent of noona, btw.) The characters have depth (even secondary characters) and the story-though it's a pretty typical noona romance/love triangle-is well-written. She faces the choice between a much younger man and a man who may have more going on in his life than we realize at first glance. However, he has his sights set on Noda Naoko. The newest employee is a young hotshot all the younger women fall for. She's in a rut at her job, though her coworkers really respect her. He's handsome, has a good job, and excellent manners. Noda Naoko is an office lady in her mid-thirties who meets the man of her dreams on the subway one day. I would love recommendations of more doramas to enjoy, especially if they are good romances with heavy doses of comedy. And I like my OTPs wrapped up in a nice, happily-ever-after package.

There are just too many jdoramas that seem to end without the OTP obviously being together-it's more implied than shown. But this isn't really the root of my problem. I understand the whole societal discomfort with most PDA, and judging from the dramas I've seen, it's a bigger issue in Japan than in Korea. That being said, my biggest problem with the romantic jdoramas is that they often leave you to imagine/infer much of the ending.

Which seems obvious, but it's really important to keep in mind while watching. They aren't really the same as kdramas, and they can best be described by being very Japanese. I found that while they have many similarities to kdramas, they are a different creature and require a different mindset to enjoy them. I started watching jdoramas to shake things up a bit.
