Japanese Women's Struggle in Workplace
Reginay_4046 September 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Anego is a super-skilled woman who is envied and admired at the same time by other dispatched female employees so that her male boss would let her in charge of them and be that bad "person" to point out their mistakes. Female employees would like to talk to her whenever they have something to do.
But such Anego feels that she is not the real herself, but that she has set aside someone hard for her life. Her real name is not Anego at all, but Naoko. She would also feel lonely. She would also imagine one day she would find her own prince charming. She also wants to get her own happiness. At first, she looked forward to the male lead. After he expressed that he did not want to get married, she began to look forward to the man who helped her in the subway. This also led to when she and him both "feel" that they were in each other's destiny, she irrationally chose to date this guy who was cheating, and she was considered as one of the only OL in the drama that believes in fairy tales.
But unfortunately, that man is not the perfect prince charming in reality. He is a habitual offender in terms of indecent. At the same time, he basically feels like "destiny" with every girl. So after Anego soberly realized this, she also gave up on him.
The ending seem to be a happy ending, but I still can't help but worry about her future. Would Anego be happy if she lived in Mongolia? Would she earn enough salary? Would Anego really be with the male lead under the pressure of the huge gap of age between them? Probably because I see the ending from a female perspective, I tend to view it from a pessimistic but realistic way.
There are many descriptions of inequality between men and women in the Japanese workplace in this drama. For example, the company of Anego had not to recruit formal female employees for a long time; Men will be allowed to cheat, but women could not; Men has more opportunities in jobs. It's a pity, but this is the sorrow of women in the Japanese workplace. Such a true description also allows female audiences to see themselves from the female lead who was hitting walls everywhere in her life, so the ratings were also very high. Unfortunately, you can't find any J-drama like this now that talks about women's struggle in the most explicit way.
