Plot Overview

In Just Can't Love, we follow the story of Sakura, a dedicated employee who has always put her career first. When she is reassigned to a new department, she meets her strikingly composed boss, Kiriyama. Overwhelmed by her unusual penchant for scents, Sakura finds herself captivated by a whiff of Kiriyama’s unique fragrance — so much so that she describes it as love at first scent.

However, there's more than meets the eye to Kiriyama; he harbors a traumatic past that makes him awkward around women, leaving Sakura determined to help him overcome his fears. The story unfolds with both characters experiencing a blend of awkward yet heartwarming moments as they navigate their emotions and deepen their connection amid the workplace chaos.
