Magerarenai Onna (曲げられない女, The unbending woman) is a Japanese television drama that aired on NTV between 13 January and 17 March 2010.
Ogiwara Saki (Miho Kanno) is a woman who does not go with the flow of society but forges her own path.
She has failed the bar exam nine times in a row but persists in her dream of being a lawyer while working as a clerk at a law firm.
Saki's good friend, Hasumi Riko (Hiromi Nagasaku), who is a mother of two children, was high school classmates with Saki, but is in fact 35, because she had deliberately declared herself to be two years younger.
She has no qualms of lying for the sake of female happiness, pretending to be married to a man of wealth and blessed with children.
