"Seven young men who are desperate for quick money arrive at a desolate seaside bar, called Dog Days, to audition as "hosts." This is the highly popular occupation of entertaining female patrons with smooth talk and a soothing smile while offering them drinks at "host clubs." Although their previous jobs varied from street performer to ex-banker, they are all happy to get this dream job so easily, until they discover that the manager has run off with their deposits! Upon seeing them so discouraged, the sympathetic bar owner offers his place for them to open up a host club by themselves. With the help of his granddaughter, Chika (who has a heart disorder), and despite the combination of their initial confusion, personal problems and a typhoon that almost blew the place down, they gradually find the true meaning of friendship, trust and love. "

I really didn't like it at all. There was nothing in the script that made me want to watch it again. It wasn't overly funny, sentimental, or unique enough for me to watch again. Maybe I didn't get to watch the whole thing? The place I was watching it only had a certain amount of parts, but the place it stopped at left me hanging and confused. All and all, it's not something that I can wholeheartedly recommend.
