"Camphor NEWS" is an online news media site run by a large publishing company. Their incompetent editorial staff writes articles consisting mainly of rearranged news items and comments lifted from other news sites. As their site attracts a low number of page views, it is deemed unprofitable by their parent company. Seko Ririko transferred from the Accounting Dept to the Camphor NEWS' editorial team. She is on a mission to boost website traffic, aiming to reach 50 million views by simply writing gossip. (Source: AsianWiki; Edited by Taishi Miwa and Lee C at MyDramaList) Edit Translation

Reviews
Eccentric lead, Underrated drama
This drama is so underrated. From the very first episode I was captivated by the female lead — there's something about these very eccentric but straightforward and socially unique leads that just feel so relatable and immediately create a different dynamic wherever the drama takes place, which, in this show, is a newsroom.I really enjoyed the episodic format of this one as well, and it was even more interesting than typical episodic dramas because of how well they tied in the subplots of each side character with different cases. By the end of the show I truly felt like I knew every single person working in that newsroom.
My only criticism is a minor one: I enjoyed the backstory arc of the main female lead, which was revealed about halfway through the way, better than the actual ending arc, which was treated like the finale. It's not a dealbreaker by any means — in fact, logically it makes sense for the story to wrap back around to present day, but I just felt like it wasn't as emotionally hard-hitting.
Overall, I still really enjoyed this drama and I'm sad at how underrated it is.
