J-dorama version of The Devil Wears Prada

I'm almost halfway through watching this and it reminds me so much of The Devil Wears Prada: the FL who's not (initially) interested in her work (Anne Hathaway's character); the strong career woman boss (Meryl Streep's character), and the deputy editor (Stanley Tucci's character). I think it's meant to be motivational or something but the way it delivers (like the other J-doramas I've watched before) is kind of cheesy and cringey at times. In terms of acting, Nanao is definitely a standout. I like strong career woman characters like hers, which is a rarity in Japanese productions. Overall, it's a light watch, especially during these stressful times.
