seichan | Tsuki no Koibito not quite swooning yet (Reply)

Tsuki no Koibito 1! jdrama with Kimutaku. Man, it's been forever since I've watched him in a drama...ok, I did watch one episode of Mr. Brain. I wish this new series was a comedy. Anyway, Kimutaku plays the uptight, arrogant CEO, Hazuki Rensuke, of a modern furniture company. His company is opening a new store in Shanghai. Female 1 is his strong-willed head designer (not really sure of what her real title is). She has a crush on him while his assistant played by Matsuda Shota has a crush on her. There's a model, Female 2, thrown in the mix. His company is also closing a factory to build his own. The workers lead by Female 3, Liu Xiu Mei, (who has a sick mother) were protesting, but their factory is razed over anyway. Mei's male coworker even has to become a cross-dressing prostitute to make money *weep weep*, so she ends up working for Rensuke. *weep* Cinderella story set-up in a love-pentagon...ding. Although the situations felt a little forced, by the end of the episode, it seems like it could turn out to be sweet if they refrain from making all the upcoming jealousy too dramatic. As a total 180 to his uptight character, his new CM is silly.
