This drama is set in an apartment block in the suburbs. The young heroine’s humorous interaction with the odd residents provides the back drop to a charming story as we follow her on her path to making major “life choices,” facing significant turning points and affairs of the heart. Unemployment, independence, change of career and romance are just some of the obstacles a 27 year-old woman experiences and the drama traces her growth as she positively overcomes each one – a tender and funny love story. Indecisive Asako learns to make a decision for the first time in her life, boldly opting to go it alone.
