Fuji TV

Construction company employee Michi Yoshino (Nao) is married to a shy and reticent man who loves her, but avoids her whenever she tries to get intimate with him – to the extent that it’s been two years since they last had sex. One evening, feeling particularly neglected and frustrated, she sits outside drinking a can of beer when she bumps into her successful and popular boss Makoto Niina (Takanori Iwata). Like her, Makoto is also feeling neglected by his spouse: his wife is a successful fashion editor who never “has time” for intimacy. But could this heart-to-heart lead them to a dangerous romantic encounter… and the potential end of both their marriages? This 2023 Japanese drama series was based on a manga series by Haru Haruno and was directed by Hiroshi Nishitani.

The Forbidden Couple

Katsuragi Hayame (Nikaido Fumi) is a housewife living an uneventful and unspectacular life with her husband. But when the latter comes home one day and abruptly drops a bombshell – telling her he has met another woman and wants a divorce – he whole, mundane world falls to pieces. Without thinking, she walks out of the house intending never to come back. But fate has more misery in store for her: A thief robs her of all the money she has on her – leaving her homeless and penniless.

Destiny isn’t done with her yet, though. As Katsuragi Hayame wallows in self-pity, she encounters a bratty male high school student that she once humiliated named Issei (Maeda Gordon). He mischievously tells her that if she plays a game with her, he will give her a place to stay. She plays along, but their personalities clash. As they get to know each other a little better, Issei finds himself drawn to the older woman – but soon finds that he is not the only one vying for her heart!

Promise Cinderella

Six months ago, life went dark for the underworld negotiator Kida (Iwata Takanori) when his lifelong friend and fellow former outcast Makoto became embroiled in a deadly plot. Makoto had risen to become the head of a powerful trading firm, but the events that unfolded on Christmas Eve put an end to all that. Since then, Kida has continued to drift through life without a single bright spark to light up his life. Nobody cares if he lives or dies except his underworld boss, who values Kida’s inimitable skills.

But now, half a year later, the past catches up with Kida once more. He has been asked to help with a case he is reluctant to have anything to do with. But things take a turn for the strange when he meets a woman named Michiru (Matsui Airi) who sends him back to his younger years when she says: “One day is enough to change the world” – the catchphrase of a close friend of Kida and Makoto’s long-lost friend. Kida hasn’t seen that friend since the latter mysteriously vanished when Kida was 20. Could this woman have a connection with Kida or his long-lost friend?

This drama is the follow-up to the 2021 Japanese movie “The Master Plan.”
