Drama Digest

Toto Bank President Ichihara is in a hotel suite romancing his secretary Nana when he collapses. Four women arrive to perform CPR on him, but their efforts are futile. They calmly remove all evidence from the room before ensuring the deletion of all records about the president’s stay. The president had instructed that if he died suddenly, his death should appear as if he died at home. Keitaro is a former litigation clerk who worked as a political secretary before opening a ramen restaurant. He directed the four women to deal with the situation in the hotel room. Restauranteur Keitaro, housekeeper Satsuki, and secretaries Chiyo, Nana, Fujiko, Saran, and Miwa make up the team, a kind of a shadow corps that are not easy to mess with.

The Feel Good Part

While the drama, overall, is a mystery-packed legal story, having Nanao, Oshima Yuko, Hirose Alice and Fumino Kimura in the same drama is probably the best part about this drama with its star-studded cast and their creative chemistry. None of the episodes is boring. the viewers will be entertained throughout. The series is humorous with action-filled scenes.

The Disappointing Part

The viewers may find the series a bit fast-paced.  Viewers who are not fans of legal or action dramas, may not find this show suitable.

In-Depth Analysis

This drama is overall a Legal business drama featuring the ups and downs of a sketchy business going wrong with a few exaggerated action scenes. The characters have amazing chemistry, their relationship beautifully bonds this series together.

Star Power

The cast of this show is truly the commendable part about it. Shim eun kyung stepped up her game from Korean industry to Japanese industry and brought out the realness of her character on screen. The cast is star-studded, from Nanao, and Oshima Yuko to Hirose Alice and Fumino Kimura, the cast is one to look forward to.

Overall Opinion

The drama in its entirety is a fun action-filled dark show. It centres around business legalities and crime. Viewers who find any of this boring may find the show overall unsuitable to watch. It’s a good show and people who like these sorts of dramas would genuinely enjoy it.
