Haru: Sogo Shosha no Onna (2019)

Could be a win for you or a complete loss

Business drama with potential but this could either be a big hit for you or a complete loss.

For me it was loss.
1. They were trying so hard to make the FL look really beautiful and talented but failed. If one day suddenly such a Nakatani Miki walked in my office I would feel scared and creeped out the way she was all wide eyes and fake big smile ready to tackle challenges.
2. People just had amazing luck in the drama which made all the problems go away fast. I understand people get all tired and lose their spark if they are working in an environment where they do not feel stimulated but that’s how the whole company was and Haru was the fresh of breath air. She managed to piss the hell out of me with her enthusiasm and over the top solutions which just somehow luckily worked.
3. Solutions are nothing but full of justice and hoping suddenly people will remember their sense of justice and do the right thing that Haru thinks is right.
4. For a kid that young to be calling his mum by her name and being so well mannered, not needing his mum although he grew up in a completely different country and not knowing his dad. I felt really bad for the kid and kinda annoyed at the setting
5. You might feel satisfied after watching each episode the way things end, but there aren’t many scenes that develop interestingly like they did with Hanzawa Naoki.

There’s nothing new, the story doesn’t excite or inspire you like many Japanese business dramas do. I couldn’t help but internally shout “how dumb@ “you think company actually works like that” “do they think work is a joke?” In many scenes. The only good thing for me was the presence and face of ML.
