The drama is an original work by playwright and director Ayuka Kishimoto, and is a slightly dark comedy for adults that combines friendship, ramen, and classical ballet. Kita will play the main character, Karina Senbon, who works at an advertising agency and loves ramen.
Amano Hana will play the role of ballet dancer Niki Yumi, Karina's best friend since they were six years old, and Komakine Akita, Nozoe Yoshihiro, and Kintaro will also appear.
In episode 8, Karina (Kita) asks a chat AI for advice on how to make up with a friend she has cut off, but she loses her temper when the AI speaks ill of Yumi.
Karina's stepmother, Tokiko (Kobayashi Kinako), who is supposed to be in Sapporo, suddenly appears at her home. Apparently, her father asked her to come and check on Karina since she hadn't replied. Tokiko's words reminded Karina of her mother, Sakiko (Nakata Kurumi), and she fondly recalls the ballet class where she first met Yumi.
