Hotaru no Hikari
Hotaru works for a famous interior design company. It's a glamorous job but Hotaru's private life is totally the opposite of glamorous. She lives alone, and when she isn't working she's mostly lazing about her rented house in training wear. She's not interested in men. In fact, she isn't interested in anything. "I'd rather lay around than fool around," is her motto.

Her landlord is a bar owner, and one day his son, who has just separated from his wife, comes to inspect the rental property, not knowing that someone is living there. He is shocked at the mess, but not as shocked as Hotaru. He turns out to be her boss, Takano.


Starring:
  • Ayase Haruka as Amemiya Hotaru
  • Fujiki Naohito as Takano Seiichi

Story: 
Revolves around the transformation of a himono-onna and how she finds true love. The drama is more a comedy than romance and dialogues were definitely all LOL! Original theme with hilarious script. 
 
Acting: 
Everyone was superb and Ayase Haruka's Best Actress award for this role is well deserved! Her 'boyfriend' Teshima, however, was the only one in this drama that I felt did a very poor job. His performance hampered the drama, which is a shame since everyone else was soo good. 
 
Music: 
The opening and ending themes are cute and fit well with the drama. 
 
Satisfaction: 
One of the best comedies I've seen so far, however, the ending may cause grief to many. I was one of them.
