Synopsis
Seven former friends who shared their college years on the yachting team reunite after their professor dies, and one of them attempts suicide. The members all walk their own paths in society. Even as they encounter obstacles, suffer, and struggle with the gap between ideals and reality, they all grow older learning the importance of friendship.
The subject of this drama is youth and friendship; it is about how the protagonists face, deal with, and overcome the hard realities of society without ever forgetting who they are. On the other hand, it is also a social drama that reveals the truths about bullying and the abuse of power in workplaces.
The determined, strong female characters were new to the audience, and this helped the drama achieve high ratings. In the final episode, the viewer rating marked a spectacular 32.6%.
