After watching Itoshi Kimi e, it happened what I was afraid it could happen, I discover Fujiki Naohito. Although I don't like dramatic jdramas I gave it a try and now I'm glad I did.

Checking Naohito's series I found he's done some comedies and I decided to watch one of them: Hotaru no Hikari and I'm loving it so much that now it's in my top ten of favorite jdramas ever.

This is Amemiya Hotaru. She works at an interior design company. She is a beautiful, nice and efficient office woman.

This is Amemiya's buchô (boss), as Amemiya calls him. He's very handsome and nice boss who is having a hard time in his personal life.

Nobody knows that when she arrives home, Amemiya transforms herself into a total different person who only cares about wearing sweatpants and t-shirts, drinking beer, and having her home in total chaos.

Drinking beer like that.

Amemiya's buchô has problems in his marriage. In fact, he's getting a divorce. He leaves his home and goes back to his parent's where right now lives somebody else...

...that somebody else being Amemiya who that previous night decided to sleep under newspaper pages

Buchô is amazed of how different 'Home-Amemiya' is from 'Office-Amemiya'. He is practically disgusted.

She offers him a 2-litres tea bottle a no glass while she drinks beer. That in buchô's book is a 'no-no'.

He wants to be the only one living there and urges Amemiya to leave but she says that she has a contract and that she won't.

When she shows him 'the contract' he's in total dismay. The contract is a piece of paper with some phrases scribbled, similar to these: 'Do you rent me your house?' 'Sure!' 'Forever?' 'Okay!'

Buchô's coworker inquires about how's life in at his parents' but he doesn't say a work, especially about the part of Amemiya living there, with him.

Amemiya is resolved about not leaving and offers him the option of living there together, buchô in what it was his room when he was younger.

Buchô doesn't like the idea very much. Even less when he comes back from work to find the 'living room' turned into a terrible mess.

Just that day he realizes Amemiya has taken home a couple of lunch boxes to have them for dinner.

Next to the lunch boxes he finds one of the elastic bands she uses to tie her hair.

He decides that the way to get rid of Amemiya is turning her contract into pieces and gives her a week to leave.

Amemiya is stressed because of an inauguration she is working on and also for the fact that she has a week to find a place to live.

She sees the chair she is seated at and finds it extremely comfortable and nice designed. She doesn't know that falling asleep on it will get her to be kissed by the chair's designer himself

After that is all confusion since she hasn't been in nothing related to love relationships or similar situations in ages and doesn't really know what to do. Back home she has to tidy things a bit since buchô's wife may come to pay him a visit.

She is so happy (and confussed) about the kiss her coworker gave her that she asks buchô for advice.

Buchô tries to help her but first thing he thinks she must do is change her habits like organizing her beer nicely in the fridge.

Another thing that will make her good is have the house a bit more tidy and clean (he's a lover of pristine places, btw).

But the main problem is with Amemiya herself, buchô says.

However he asks her to live together.

Buchô sounds honest in his decision. He knows she loves the place and doesn't want to leave. Amemiya asks him if he's sure since he said that he didn't want to live with any women.

To that he says that watching her life-style, her outfit, her lack of elegance, she is not a woman anymore. She is a himono-onna. And goes to write some manuals with rules to live together. Poor Amemiya :(

I really like the chemistry between Amemiya and her buchô. Both do a great job. I must confess that when buchô is pretty harsh in words with Amemiya I find him hilarious although I'm a bit sorry for Amemiya who also has a heart, but some of the situations she gets herself into are so funny and ridiculous that at the end is good to have buchô get some sense into her head.

I really love this jdrama and of course I recommend it.

Buchô is pretty harsh with his words and he didn't realize it because he was also being honest with him and with her.
