I'll go through it based on the various rating things. I started watching this a while ago but I dropped it for a bit. I decided to finish during quarantine so here we go.

Story 9/10:
I really enjoyed that the plot focuses on an older woman rather than a high schooler or something. It's a really fun take on the Rom-Com genre and definitely shakes it up a little. The main three women remind me of the ladies from Sex and the City if Carrie wasn't a character lol. The way the show was written left me guessing who she was going to end up with right until the last episode, and this is probably one of the only shows I've seen which was genuinely unpredictable.
I actually found myself quite invested in the plot between Miki, her husband and Shima, it gives a very different perspective for the life of 40-something woman.
I can see why some didn't like the ending but I personally would've been happy with her choosing either guy, they both had interesting story arcs.
I felt the villain was a bit weak and also her relationship with Hiroto was suspect but I wouldn't pay too much attention to it to be honest.
The first episode was a bit slow but it gets pretty wild from about episode 3 so stick with it.

Acting 10/10:
Miura Haruma is amazing as always, but I felt all the cast did an awesome job in portraying their characters. They were very convincing and a lot of fun to watch

Music 8.5/10:
The OST grew on me over time, I enjoyed it.

Rewatch Value 8.5/10:
A lot of cute scenes and romantic moments, I will definitely watch it again (though if for no other reason than Miura Haruma being handsome as ever lol)

Overall 9/10:
It is a fun, light-hearted drama with an interesting concept and an excellent cast. Definitely worth a watch especially if it's only 11 episodes long! Totally recommend!
