Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita is one of favourite 2019 drama.

Endo Ai, an office lady who cares a lot about people’s opinion and craves for attention, becomes a fan of Hana, an underground idol. She used to look down on idol fans but becomes one of them as she could see herself in the idol. The two women will create a special bond while Ai discovers how the idol and fan relationship works. There’s a mystery along this plot that makes you look forward to the next episode. It’s one of my favorite drama this year because of the focus on the two women. We don’t usually see a woman fangirling over a female idol, so that really caught my attention. Since Ai has the image of a serious office lady, she doesn’t want people at work and her friends to find out her new hobby. That’s an other aspect I like because it shows how she will go beyond people’s judgment. Other fans who act like Ai’s mentors serve as a security net and the other group members, even if they don’t have that much screen time, allow a few snippets into a group dynamic. Sakurai Yuki, who plays the office lady, is a good actress. I hope to see more of her, very soon.
