Piece of Cake (2022)

Other name: ぴーすおぶけーき, Pisu Obu Keki

Description:

In a tranquil provincial city, three inseparable friends residing in the same apartment complex constantly battle boredom, seeking any form of stimulation. One, a public officer, frequently exaggerates his fighting skills, never having faced a real confrontation. His companions include a bright, outgoing woman determined to become a Hollywood star, and a man whose Kpop artist dreams remain dormant due to his inaction.

Their quest for excitement takes an unexpected turn when they spot a troubled resident on a bench. Approaching with curiosity, they engage, listen attentively to the person's concerns, and readily offer advice. This initial venture into problem-solving, perceived as a "piece of cake," quickly proves addictive. They soon find themselves becoming the community's informal consultants, eagerly assisting others around them. Through their unique blend of personalities and often humorous attempts, they discover that making a difference in people's lives offers the ultimate thrill, far beyond their initial expectations.
