Starring Wakana Matsumoto in her first leading role in a GP-time serial drama, alongside SixTONES' Hokuto Matsumura.
A story about Saionji-san, who thoroughly avoids doing housework, and a younger single father with a secret, as they become a "fake family"!
A heartwarming romantic comedy that explores "What is happiness? What is family?" through their unusual cohabitation.
【Work Details】
Based on the same-named comic by Satoru Hiura (serialized in Kodansha's "BE・LOVE"), which also includes works like "Hotaru no Hikari."
Wakana Matsumoto, with 18 years of acting experience, makes her first leading role in a GP-time serial drama as the protagonist, Ichiki Saionji.
A 38-year-old single woman working at a app development company. She is highly capable, having created numerous hit apps, and is bright, positive, and highly sociable.
Saionji-san has avoided housework using various methods, but after buying her own home and devising a "zero housework" lifestyle, she begins to live her ideal life.
However, her peaceful life is disrupted when Toshiaki Kusumi (Hokuto Matsumura), a handsome engineer who recently transferred to her company from abroad, joins.
Kusumi is blunt, expressionless, and uncooperative, often criticizing apps with logic and no warmth, causing Saionji-san's stress to nearly explode!
One day, the company president, Ryuji Amano (Takashi Fuji), instructs Saionji to deepen her relationship with Kusumi.
Reluctantly, she goes out to dinner with him, where she discovers a surprising side of Kusumi.
She also learns that Kusumi is a single father raising his 4-year-old daughter, Ruka (Ema Kurata).
Saionji, who was enjoying her best life, ends up living together with Kusumi and his daughter as a "fake family" after a trouble causes Kusumi to lose his home.
This unconventional "fake family" life begins with two mismatched adults and a child, exploring their understanding and emotional connection, while contemplating "What is happiness? What is family?" in a heartfelt, new kind of romantic comedy.
