SYNOPSIS
There are various spirits in Japanese folklore. Since the ancient times, the humans have interacted with the spirits.

The yuki onna, one of the spirits, live deep in the mountains. They are all women, and they need to mate with humans to create descendants. Fuyushiro Saki went down from the mountains to do her duty of mating with humans, but she hadn't contacted her family for two weeks.

Her younger sister Fuyushiro Koyuki was ordered to go down and look for her older sister within twenty-four hours...



REVIEW
JK wa Yuki Onna is an entertaining story about the spirits of the Japanese folklore as they may live in the modern times. If the spirits of the Japanese folklore exists today, how would they manage to uphold their traditions?

The drama is very refreshing, in that it approaches sex and relationships in a very straightforward manner. Characters have conversations about doing it as if it's no big deal.
