Japanese stereotypes..

The story starts with a young women who has a good job and ends with her marriage with a 20 years older man. So heartwarming the story details may be, in the end the story turns out to be quite stereotypical and misogynistic,because the female protagonist has to marry an older man. The Japanese writers are manipulating the viewers with a heartwarming story to accept misogyny and it works quite well, so that the TV series was even trending on the internet, fully accepted by the female viewers. The criticism, that should have been there, was completely missing. And that´s how the society goes about 3 steps back from the emancipation, that metoo brings, into the misogynistic and for the 21th century outdated picture of a women as married wife with a man who is way too old for her. Japan has a long way to women's emancipation.
