Other name: 曲げられない女, The Unbending Woman

Description:

Magerarenai Onna is a captivating drama centering on Ogiwara Saki, a 33-year-old woman who stubbornly refuses to conform to societal pressures. Saki carves her own path, hating to flatter men or pretend to be nice to other women. Despite failing the bar exam ten times in a row, she continues chasing her dream of becoming a lawyer while working as a law firm clerk. Her life stands in sharp contrast to her friend, Osabe Riko. Riko, a mother of two, is actually 35 but pretends to be 33. Unlike Saki, Riko will easily lie for the sake of female happiness, fabricating a perfect life married to a wealthy husband. This polar opposite personality beautifully accentuates Saki's uncompromising way of life. Magerarenai Onna explores the clash between living truthfully and conforming to societal expectations.
