The lives of young adults living alone is explored in this artistic drama as the heroin Miho, set on living in her own apartment, refuses her best friend Kyoko's offer to move in together. Things get sticky when Miho is driven by loneliness into a rocky love affair, and Kyoko follows her own romantic pursuits while making a point of ignoring her best friend out of jealous spite.

1. Simple but good [Rating: 7/10]
I bought this really only to add to my Tokiwa collection. With the title of 'Living Single' I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be better than I thought. This is not for anyone with a short attention span because it takes a while for the plot to develop. It starts with the simple premise of Tokiwa being pushed out of the nest, and her getting an apartment on her own. But it develops into a coming of age story including her first real romance and the series of betrayals she suffers trying pursue her dreams. It also touches on the burden of befriending someone who is obviously mentally ill and having to be mature enough to overlook that persons back-stabbing to meet the responbilities of being an adult.

Very realistic approach of an "deep 90s" style dorama, that means concentrating solely on the relationship and feelings of a few people. The role of Kyoko is extraordinaryly well-acted, you can feel every change in her emotions.
I particularily like this dorama, because Tokiwa Takako plays the "normal girl" role here in contrary to her other roles which are a little bit crazy and unreasonable.

At episode 4 I was wondering why I was still watching this, but in episode 5 we find out that Nagasaku's character obviously has some issues and it got a lot more interesting after that. Can't rate this higher because it took so long to get going.

A typical drama from the 90s - A woman wants to live alone in Tokyo, she feels very lonely, fell in love with a man and their relationship become complicated.
