This drama intended to talk about the road of three immature ladies in their 30s becomes mature. They always gather in a pub and daydream about guys and their future marriage. The screenwriter delivered the three ladies' considerations, feelings, and thoughts about guys, relationships, and marriage in the most realistic way. They are not "perfect" in terms of fitting the strict moral standards of society, but they have their charm.

And then suddenly, Key came into their life. I have to say I have dual feelings for him. He's cool, handsome, looks like a typical prince charming in josei manga. I definitely cannot reject such a character. On the other hand, he's too mean. Some of his lines are really realistic and useful, but the others are made just to sound mean and to hurt those three ladies, especially Rinko. It's fine for me if the screenwriter provides me with enough reasoning for that. She did included the sad marriage between Key and his high school teacher. However, I don't think it's convincing enough for me. I cannot even get the point of this relationship. That's certainly a minus.

But anyway, I also like him sometimes: I like that he brought the three ladies beers when they were playing baseball and negatively talking about him; I like how he took Rinko back to her home when she was drunk and what happened after Rinko woke up; I like how sad he was when he saw Rinko was kissing with another guy. At least from the perspective of business, I think some of Key's traits are so attractive to the female audience. I don't think his "the other side" can really cancel out with his mean lines, but after all, this difference between his words and what he really thinks inside is interesting.

I read reviews of the others before. Many audiences of this drama couldn't understand why didn't Rinko choose to marry the producer and why did she choose Key instead. I don't think it's strange, probably because I read too much josei manga. The producer is nice.

Remember, Rinko did want to marry him at the start of this drama. She didn't make this decision for love. She just wanted to get married to have a happy family and have kids go with her during Tokyo Olympics. She felt Doki-Doki in that dinner but she didn't love him.

Key is different from the producer for Rinko. Key is the prince charming. Rinko never expected him to make her happy, because he's just not that type of person. All she did was to follow her heart. If she married that producer, she would still think of Key in her heart. I think she absolutely made the right decision.
