      Yuri Saotome is a charismatic beautician who runs a major sports gym and aesthetic salon. Her older brother died in an accident just before his opportunity to achieve a gold medal at the Olympics, so she chose to marry a wrestling gold medalist. After giving birth to four children, she and her husband broke off their marriage, leaving Yuri to raise the kids by herself. With their excellent genes, three of them have been raised as possible candidates for the next Olympic games. 
Sukaretto says:
P.S. read at your own risks. spoilers coming up.
     i skipped watching this drama for years cox i don't really like Nagasawa Masami. her roles are usually irritating and her acting's stagnant. but she wasn't that irritating in this one. maybe cox it's not a damsel in distress role. though her facial expressions are still lacking expressions. lols XD.
     Masami aside, everyone's good i think, though Tori needs more feelings. Amami Yuki's amazing! same with Takei Emi, i love them both. i was saying that the guy who played Jouji looks familiar. turns out he is Sorimachi Takashi. XD he aged. a lot. same with the lady who played Niwa Seiko, she doesn't have a wiki page but i think she was that comedian.
     as for the story, i loved it. i'd hate it if it was focused too much with B-child or Olympics, but it wasn't. it was well balanced. no overused recurring characters or words (except for No Way but it wasn't irritating). whenever an episode was focused on a character, unlike other dramas that dedicates the whole episode to that certain character, it was just themed to what was that character was going through, Amami Yuki's still the main person in every episode.
     my only complaint was the supernatural memory thing. do they really need to put that in the story? i love that kid who played Tomo though.

My Ratings: i'll give this 8.5/10 :)
