Well I went into this drama blind, I was only watching it because of Dori Sakurada (please make Dori Sakurada, have more main roles and not supporting roles).

At first he didn't understand Shinonome, he clearly hated her and considered her a despicable and disgusting woman but he continued to intervene in the relationship that Maejima had with her boss. He used a lot of emotional and sexual blackmail to trap Maejima in her trap.

When you get deeper into the story you realize why Shinonome hated her so much and wanted her to pay. But there is something contradictory here, it was actually the fault of Maejima's boss for being unfaithful to his wife. Maejima simply messed with him because she was a very lonely woman and the boss took advantage of her feeling of loneliness to cheat on his wife. Later Shinonome had also had an extramarital relationship with his boss's wife. So they were basically in the same boat, so Shinonome had no right to judge Maejima so much.

I understand that he understood that his beloved wanted her to be happy and that she is not willing to leave to her husband . But he targeted the wrong person and was also a bit (quite) hypocritical because he was doing the same thing as Maejima, if not worse.

He gradually falls in love with Maejima, but when everything seems to be going well, his boss's wife appears. She sees them together and with the warnings she had had from her classmates that she should stay away from Shinonome, everything fits together. She knew he was just using her, so she walks away from him, heartbroken. Because she Maejima had fallen in love with him and the feeling of loneliness and being used was gone but she again finds herself with another disappointment. So she walks away from him.

Shinonome misses her and wants to see her but stays away because he knows he has hurt her and she doesn't deserve to be with a man like him.

But when Maejima goes to see a house, she realizes that Shinonome had captured everything she planned to do with that project. So she realizes that Shinonome hasn't forgotten her at all and that he loves her.

So she goes to see him and they get together and finally start a healthy relationship, without lies involved.

The drama is short and interesting because the main characters are complex, there is no black or white in them, there are shades of gray.

I recommend it? Yes, it's short and the story is interesting and when I don't have anything to watch that's interesting to me, I go back to watch it.
The acting is very good and there are never any cringe scenes. And there is a palpable chemistry between the two.

So if you want to watch a short but still interesting drama, I recommend it.
