独身貴族

I'm a little bit behind, been busy the past weeks.
However I anticipated this drama, and guess why? The story and actors of course ^^
I'm also surprised to see Ito Hideaki in his short hair, I'm so used to his longer hairstyle, it almost feels like another person. He look more manly now...haha
As for Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, I can so picture him to get married and be a great father.. so to see him like this, like a misfit is funny ^^
As for Kitagawa Keiko, well, she'll just be herself I think! From all the interviews I have seen with her I have gotten the vibe she's not so girly girly, so therefore this will be even more interesting ^^

Story
At present, over 47% of the male population in Japan aged between 30 ~ 34 are single. While for women, the no. goes up to 60% for those in their late twenties. It is not that they are unable to get married. Rather, they all choose to remain single, as they believe that marriage is not the be all and end all. Life holds more promising things beyond marriage, and thus they are all celebrating life as a single. This drama takes a look at life from the perspectives of these men and women.
Hoshino Mamoru is the President of a film production company, having taken over the position from his father. He is an excellent creative director, but he detests chaos and hence prefers to remain single. His brother, Susumu, works at the same company, taking care of the business side of things. Currently undergoing divorce proceedings, Susumu has had to move out of his marital home.
Haruno Yuki is disillusioned with men, after having gone through several failed relationships. She wasn't making great strides in her career either, and so one day, she decided to quit her job and pursue her dream of becoming a scriptwriter. In order to pay the bills, she takes on a part-time job at a maid agency. Before she knows it, she gets her chance to make her dream come true!
It could be Fate, or just plain coincidence, but the 3 of them are plunged into each other's lives; The "Affluent Single", the "Divorced Hero" and the "Marriage Refugee". Will a pivotal moment happen upon them? Will the "Affluent Single" decide to give wedded bliss a chance?
