Back in college, there was a senpai who liked her and one night made it clear he wanted to take her to a love motel.
Ichika sends another text urging Hanae to get a boyfriend as she’s about to turn the big 3-0 but Hanae not only doesn’t have a prospect but she’s still a virgin with zero dating experience.Īs Hanae prepares for bed and the clock ticks towards midnight, she wonders what her life would be like had she had dating experience.
Mom coos over the picture sent of the newborn but doesn’t nag Hanae to get married or have kids. She gets a text from best friend Sasano Ichika who is not only married but just had her second baby. Hanae sits down at the dinner table with her mom while dad reads a paper on the sofa. Her coworkers hear that boyfriend Mamoru’s hobbies are to take walks while eating snacks. She gives her dog the wooden bowl as a new food bowl and apologizes for making him her boyfriend and we see Mamoru as the guard dog to the house. When she gets home, we see that she still lives her with doting parents and a pudgy bulldog Mamoru, whose name Hanae appropriated to describe her fictional boyfriend. Her coworkers gossip about the fuddy duddy Hanae actually dating and hear that her boyfriend is named Mamoru (to guard) and works in security.

Hanae goes about her scheduled evening plans, buying a pretty wooden bowl at a shop before going to watch an old movie alone but enjoying the experience. Hanae blurts out a lie that she has a boyfriend to extricate herself from this set up which shocks her two coworkers since she’s the epitome of asexual at work. Apparently the friend wants to meet an older woman that fits Hanae’s near thirty years old profile, someone to settle down with. Hanae is impressed at Hitomi’s go-getter nature when it comes to dating since Hanae is painfully awkward around eligible young men.Īnother coworker Ooshiro So bounds over to ask Hanae to come with him to a dinner where he wants to introduce her to a friend. Hanae compliments Hitomi as being lovable to anyone who meets her. Hitomi is going to dinner with college friends who want to make up her birthday from last month, but she figures its really a bunch of still single loser ladies meeting to complain about the lack of a love life. As she’s leaving the office, Hanae asks if Hitomi is going to yet another singles meet-and-greet dinner. The work day ends and Hanae goes about her usual routine of tidying up the office kitchen and even going up to the roof to make sure the plants are tucked in for the night. Chirpy young female coworker Ookawa Hitomi gossips with the office about running into a gorgeous man in the elevator who she thinks might be working at the company one floor above them. In the hustle bustle we briefly glimpse a handsome part time employee Tanokura Yuto going about his business. It’s a busy morning at the company where she works for the last 10 years dutifully without ever missing a day of work.
Narrator Aoishi Hanae tells us that she’s really this close to losing all her feminine aspects. Japan appears to love it as well as episode 1 earned a 14.3% rating. If anything, LC cribbed off KwKY and failed whereas I sense so much potential here I can’t wait for this dorama to really get going after this set up episode.

KwKY is adapted from the same name manga by Fujimura Mari which started its run in November of 2011, a full year and a half before Last Cinderella aired. The story is completely different despite the love triangle between one woman choosing between an older versus young man. RAWR.īefore I dive into the recap, let me dispel all notions that KwKY is simply Last Cinderella v.2. I like all three lead characters (and performances), not to mention the chemistry is off the charts already with Haruka and both male leads. Thanks to the collective charisma of Ayase Haruka, Fukushi Sota, and Tamaki Hiroshi, KwKY is way better than the story ought to be and anchored with a sweet and funny touch. After two long years away from the urge to recap a J-dorama, the arrival of the romance-centric love triangle Kyou wa Kaisha Yasumimasu(Today I Take the Day Off Work) flips the dormant switch right when I was mourning the lack of cracktastic offerings from Japan.
