Plot
Desperately in need of money, Hikari drops out of high school to pay her father’s debts and starts working at a television station as a cleaning lady. There she meets Masako, a television producer suffering from her drama’s low viewer ratings. Masako soon realizes that Hikari has potential, and decides to hire her as one of her staff members. But things don’t go as planned. Working in the male-dominated corporate culture of the TV station, the two women find themselves alternatively clashing and cooperating to achieve their goals. Despite their ups and downs, one common desire always brings them together and guides them… they just want to be happy!
