A quirky drama of a group of 7 downtrodden souls from vastly different backgrounds and characters who are united by a charismatic restaurateur in setting up a rooftop cafe in Tokyo. The acting is spot on, from the anti-social to the too-social, from the amateur to the wrongly-overqualified. What is most poignant in this series is the gross unfairness faced by these women as they try to carve out a living, and ultimately, purpose. The gradual camaraderie is heartwarming, especially the opening up of Chika, the anthropophobic cook.
