Synopsis

A jaded rom-com screenwriter in her 30s mines four love-sick women for their stories under the guise of providing them with romantic advice.

Seasons & Episodes

E1 A: The Neglected Woman, Part 1

After offering relationship advice at a promotional event, Rio Yazaki decides to dig deeper when she spots a common thread between four of the women.

E2 A: The Neglected Woman, Part 2

Focusing on the beautiful sales associate Tomomi Shimahara, Rio Yazaki urges her to lend Ito money even after he neglects her and puts her down.

E3 B: The Crustacean, Part 1

The Ito described by the second woman Rio consults with is a self-centered, obliviously rude annoyance. Not unlike an up-and-coming writer Rio knows.

E4 B: The Crustacean, Part 2

Shuko's story connects perfectly with Tomomi's, much to TV producer Tamura's delight, making Rio even more hopeful for her screenplay.

E5 C: The Lonely Woman, Part 1

From the outside, pretty and popular Satoko's got the perfect life. But Rio detects a hidden loneliness, and she can't wait to dig deeper.

E6 C: The Lonely Woman, Part 2

Feeling insecure over her best friend Miki's relationship, Satoko decides to seduce Ito, putting her friendship in jeopardy.

E7 D: The Educated Novice, Part 1

After getting dumped by Ito, Miki calls up an old friend -- and it's none other than Rio's young rival, Kuzuken. But that's not the only coincidence.

E8 D: The Educated Novice, Part 2

Rio finally finds out who Ito really is, and she's repulsed. Moreover, Ito's written his own script, and it's dangerously similar to hers.
