“Mental Tsuyome Bijo Shirakawa-san" stars Hiroe Igeta as Momono Shirakawa, an eternally bright and optimistic working girl who never lets things get her down no matter how the slings and arrows come her way!True, she is roundly disliked by all her co-workers for her cheerful outlook- they think she’s a fake, that she’s sucking up, overacting and even egotistical. And though she of course notices the mean-spiritedness and contempt aimed at her, she always turns the other cheek and looks for a way to turn the negative into something positive!
She happens to notice another girl named Machida (Kayo Noro) who, like her, faces a lot of harsh judgement from their peers, and puts on a smile as well. But unlike Momono, who keeps positive by turning bad things into good ones, Machida’s smile is a fake one covering up her real feelings of frustration. 
But Momono senses that the two are kindred spirits and would like nothing more than to be friends with her. And using her positive energy, she slowly begins to sway Machida into her way of thinking….A short and sweet little drama full of “feel good” vibes, this drama stars an actress I’m seeing for the first time (at least in a leading capacity) with Hiroe Igeta…in fact, the only actress I know is Sayaka Akimoto (most recently seen by me in “Gossip”)…nice to meet all these new faces!!!Who knows, some of these girls may someday be new favorites of mine!!!
