This is the shows for the girls and maybe more for the boys.

As the synopsis says, it is a story of women (and a man) who are labelled as 'write-offs' and the restaurant they established to find their purpose and overcome their difficulties. Usually the problem I face with such positive and uplifting dramas is that they often come out as pretentious to me. This is not to say that I don't like them or enjoy them. I certainly do, but the thing is all along somewhere I keep thinking that how unrealistic and overly-optimistic it all is. But thankfully, this isn't the way I felt here. The show does presents a really positive and optimistic but the way it is combined with the struggles and problems of the characters along with the prevailing issue of work abuse, sexual harassment and power harassment is amazing.
To me at least it felt somewhat realistic. The characters all have some problems but they are still happy people who have some dreams to fulfill and live their life according to their rules. It's almost like they know our lives are shitty and nothing is going well but still we have to live and survive. So why not live to the fullest while doing the things we want instead of losing all kinds of hope. And it resonates well with what Karasumori says to Tamako, "You can't take revenge just by being angry. You can also take revenge by living happily and cleanly." So this is what everyone tries to do here and we get this lovely and heart-warming show.

Sexual Harassment and abuse of even the most seemingly harmless types can do more damage than one can imagine. Tamako's imagined scenario in the last episode really moved me and maybe it is a message for all the men and even women out there that how a little consideration and kindness towards the others affect us all and create a different environment.

I find drama watching the best when I get so absorbed within it that everything affects me personally. It feels so beautiful when I care so much about these fictional people that even the most little happiness they achieve fills my heart with joy and their sadness makes my eyes teary. Mondai no Aru Restaurant was just this type of show for me and I am glad that I gave it a chance. I loved the characters, the dialogues and overall everything about it.
