Seichi Aoyagi (Yoshihiko Inohara), a salaryman for a Health and Fitness group, is being made responsible for his company’s affiliated business, a Ballet Theater, to get out of the red and into the black! Besides already having to deal with his wife (Manami Konishi) and daugher leaving him, he knows absolutely ZERO about ballet but is threatened with expulsion if he cannot somehow make things work!
In the meantime, Athletic Trainer Yui “YuiYui” Segawa (Kana Kurashina) is having a setback of her own when her star athlete who she has been devoting all her time to, announces her pregnancy and her withdrawal from sports. As such, she is demoted to the lowest ranks of the company, where she is paired up with Aoyagi.
Together the two must use their skills and persuasion to get the Ballet company back to being a financial success. But with ignorance of the delicate nuances of the Ballet world and having to deal with headstrong leaders (Hitomi Kuroki) and arrogant dancers (Shuntaro Miyao), they will have their hands full!
Can’t say I’ve been overly thrilled by this Ballet-focused drama, though there is this one side-storyline I really like, where a girl who works at the combini Aoyagi frequents (Lisa Oda) is a secret Ballet enthusiast and, upon discovering his interest in ballet, strikes up a sort of friendship with him.
Honestly this is the only thing that I find appealing in this drama so far...Would like to see more of this arc and will keep watching to see if this develops into something....!
