TV Shows: Atelier
Atelier is one of the most popular Japanese shows on Netflix, and for good reason.
Like many Japanese shows, the concept may seem a bit strange at first, but it somehow works really well. Atelier is about a high-end lingerie store, and the two main characters in the show are the original founder of the brand, as well as a brand new hire to the shop. If you watched Pretty Proofreader, I would say that the feel of the two shows are relatively similar.
It may seem weird to make a show about a lingerie store, but it is just the base of the show. The actual plot includes plenty of scheming, revenge, drama, and other factors that make a show interesting.
Throughout the show the main character of the show, Mayuko (played by Mirei Kiritani), overcomes many obstacles while also building herself into a force in the lingerie world. As the show progresses, there is a really interesting relationship that develops between Mayuko and her boss, Mayumi (played by Mao Daichi).
I have watched so many Japanese shows on Netflix now, and I found almost all of them to be really enjoyable. Atelier is another show that I would have almost no interest in watching if it were an American show (I only watched it because I need to practice my Japanese), yet somehow managed to surprise me and vastly exceed my expectations!

Hi,
This is a blog for myself (and hopefully others) to keep track of all of the places, restaurants, books, movies, etc. that I do not want to forget. I am a college student who has lived in the US, Asia, and Europe for extended periods of time; I am very lucky to have had these experiences, and I want to share my recommendations with people interested in any of these locations.
NONE of these posts are advertisements. I do not have any discount codes or promotions for anything I write about; however, this should be considered a positive because it means that everything I write about reflects my true feelings. In order to keep this blog positive, my posts will only be recommendations for the things I enjoy the most in life. The topics will vary between whatever subjects I am interested in at a certain time, and I will have 1-2 new posts per day.
I wish I could have started this project earlier while some of my memories were fresher in my mind, but it is better late than never. I hope that other people will have the chance to visit or experience things that I write about, and I hope that people will have a similar taste in life to myself!
