Mental Tsuyome Bijo Shirakawa-san (2022)

Women's friendship at work

It's hard to be a woman, it's harder in some country like in Japan. Women tend to be criticized, scrutinized and shamed by their peers but Shirakawa has a strong mental and a strong will power!

She looks like a popular girl because she's pretty and thin, but she has no friends at work. Most of the women tend to be jealous of her and badmouth her.
And yet, she managed to not resent them and keep a huge smile on her face. Her kindness is seen as hypocritical but soon, she makes some friends.
Because she is mentally stable and positive, her new friends start to feel more positive too! And their friendship is beautiful to watch.

This sweet and simple drama made me smile and cry, i wish i had some strong friendship like that. I wish i was mentally strong like Shirakawa. I wish women stopped fighting with each other and worked hands in hands.

Like in the song from the start "World peace by creating a chain of happiness"!

Also, this drama talk about weight, confidence, loneliness and even menstruation!

Good Enough

Japanese Drama " Mental Tsuyome Bijo Shirakawa-san " is a feel good drama.

The story is simple, following a office lady who is trying to solve her co workers' problems. There is an odd aspect to her personality, that is not explored at all or addressed. And yet, she is sweet and cute.

The performances, in addition, were enjoyable and the main lead was especially good and her character was likable, though, in th end, she is only there to prompt the plot and her characters remains vague

So, overall, five out of ten.
