PLOT SUMMARY:

Oguri Shun plays Hyuga Toru, an affluent man whose personality is on the contrary, speckled with flaws. A CEO of an IT firm who is published on Forbes as a billionaire, Tetsushi attained his fortune through chance and pure luck. A woman who meets Tetsushi and eventually becomes attracted to him is Sawaki Chihiro, played by Ishihara Satomi. Chihiro is a hardworking college student at Tokyo University who has prepared for her future as much as she possibly could through studies and obtaining licenses. Despite her efforts, she has yet to land a job. Upon meeting Tetsushi, she begins to unravel a genuine pureness inside him and solitude resulting from such pureness, which eventually draws her closer to him. The two repeatedly conflict each other, but little by little learn about one another to grow and develop together.

Despite the worldwide recession and financial difficulties, there are people like Mark Zuckerberg who began work from merely an apartment room or a garage that end up growing to be companies generating over ten billion dollars revenues after merely 10 years or so, embracing their new found wealth by living the dream life. Whether it's a game or application software, E-commerce, or other IT related firm, there are more than a few who rose in fame to such status in recent years. On the other hand, Japan's unemployment rate for new grads dropped to a record low and those who want to work are unable to, or their wishes to work at their company of choice is not granted.

A Cinderella story of the real world. Will the two be able to compromise their values and lifestyles to become a happy couple? -- Fuji TV

MY REVIEW:

Finally, we have a great J-Drama worth to watch in this year!!! Actually, I have a doubt with this J-Drama since its poster were not promising enough for me. The poster is too cute for the content in this drama. I like most of Satomi Ishihara movies (especially Hanayome to Papa), so I think I have to watch this. Therefore, I shall have to force myself to watch the 1st episode. and......IT'S GREAT!!!! VERY WORTH TO WATCH!!!

The main topic of this drama is about a young talented programmer, Toru Hyuga (Shun Oguri) who always has a brilliant idea to create a breakthrough in technology. You can say that it may look like a story of APPLE inc. who were established by Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak from their garage. Yes! this drama also describe such thing. however, it's not purely the same as the story of Apple since in further episodes, you can watch the struggle of Toru Hyuga to establish a  start up company, gain trust from his partner and workers, build a relationship with other business man and bureaucratic people etc. 

(to be continued . . .)
