Drama Time! Last Cinderella

'Women today can sometimes forget about their gender, as they devote themselves deeper and deeper into their career. Among such women, some suffer overwork, unbalance of hormones, hair loss and the likes. In fact, few women even experience the growth of a thick mustache! According to a survey, there have been results indicating that about 60% of women feeling that they were "turning male" in the past. At 29, these women only had to be concerned with marriage or work, but at 39, the time limit draws nearer, with increased concerns of pregnancy, divorce, aging parents, and change of job.' Taken from wiki addicts description.

Last Cinderella shows what its like for three women of that age who are trying to live life as best as they can. The main character Toyama Sakura is a 39 year old she is an unfeminine and unruly hair stylist who becomes worried that she's becoming a man because of not having been with a man in ten years.  Tachibana Rintaro is Sakura's boss of same age who has knows Sakura for many years but constantly argues with her.  Upon hearing that Sakura was determined to find herself love he makes her angry, making Sakura even more determined saying she would find someone within a week.  Because of this she goes to a goukon set up by one of her customers. There Sakura meets a man at least ten years younger than her, Saeki Hiroto, who says that he has fallen in love with her.   Although Sakura denied the relationship at first as they get to know each other they slowly fall in love even with the great age difference.   Sakura's friends are also stories that are followed through out the drama.  Takenouchi Miki is Sakura's best friend who is suffering from a sexless marriage and because of it believes her husband is cheating on her and Hasegawa Shima, Sakura's other best friend is addicted to sex and finds a different man every time she feels a need. There's much more to each story than what first appears making it an exiting love comedy to watch.

I liked this drama from the very first scene as it reminded me of Hotaru no Hikari because of the main characters way of living and then again when I saw the character Rintaro and was yelling Buchou the moment I saw him. But after laughing about these two similarities I quickly realized that the two dramas are totally different. Last Cinderella shows the real life of people in their late 30's and how even when they're not young they can still go through the same problems they would when they were. I enjoyed watching it and laughed countlessly while at the same time I receive glimpses of what it will be like as I grow older. This drama gives many excellent lessons to any adult, and I say adult because there are a few scenes that are not for children and although they are extremely hilarious or for those who are more conservative surprising they should not be watched by children. But what kind of scene can be surprising and hilarious at the same time? You will have to watch the drama and find out won't you.

Matane!
