Striped Sheep(2011)

Striped Sheep is a Japanese drama series following Houkigi Shio, a successful aromatherapy salon owner hiding a painful secret: chronic insomnia triggered by her ex-husband's infidelity. Determined to turn her struggle into purpose, Shio launches an unconventional service that hires attractive young men to help insomniac women find sleep. What begins as a simple business idea becomes a window into the emotional wounds of her clients—and her own. As Shio navigates the complexities of healing, trust, and human connection, the series explores whether companionship can truly mend what heartbreak has broken. Blending romance with deeper themes of recovery and self-discovery, Striped Sheep examines how we cope with loss and the unexpected ways we find solace.
