Growing up in an extraordinarily wealthy family, Mamoru Hyoga (Noriko Eguchi) has never wanted for anything in her entire life. Born and raised with the world at her feet, Mamoru has never had a financial worry in her life but that doesn’t mean she grew up with everything. Having lost both of her parents at a young age, Mamoru grew up without ever knowing the warmth of her parents’ love.&nbsp;

Despite her loss, and the moments of loneliness and sadness that occasionally plague her, Mamoru has done quite well on her own. The CEO of an e-book company, Three Star Books, Mamoru and her business partner and longtime friend, Ryo Ichinose (Shigeyuki Totsugi) have made their company a huge success. Drawn to the success of the company, Yu Haruno (Eiji Akaso) applies for one of Three Stars Books' open internships. Working part-time to support his family as he studies, Yu sees this internship as an opportunity to change his life. Little did he know just how much things would change, the day Mamoru walked into his life.

With one never knowing a family’s love and the other never going a day without it, Mamoru and Yu find themselves inexplicably drawn towards each other; but can their stark differences really be what brings them together or will they eventually drive them apart?

A timeless tale of opposite attraction, “SUPER RICH” is a 2021 drama directed by Shin Hirano, Hideyuki Aizawa, Toshiyuki Mitsuhashi, and Masakazu Abe.

Miura and Haruta decide to keep their marriage a secret at work, but will doing so end in disaster – or could it ignite the fire of a lasting romance? This 2020 Japanese drama series was based on a hit manga series by Emi Fujiwara and was directed by Ryo Morita, Ryohei Shingu, and Daisuke Honda.

In-House Marriage Honey

✨The Honeymooners Team✨

Six dramatized stories based on true-life events connected to the popular Japanese flea market service Mercari explores the lives of ordinary folk in the country – and how family, friends, and more stay connected in modern society.

Riku (Marie Iitoyo) is a delivery operator for a major logistics firm named Elephant Express. She is contracted to make a series of deliveries to some very different households.

In the first story, Riku delivers an unusual package full of memories to a new owner.

Secondly, a soon-to-be-divorced couple decides to have a final meal together before going on their separate ways – but could this final, civilized act have far-reaching consequences?

In the third story, a hobbyist who enjoys making small trinkets to sell for minor sums on the Mercari marketplace runs into a buyer at a railway station.

In story number four, a neighbor takes objection to a mother of four whose exasperated scolding of her offspring raises the noise levels unacceptably high.

In the penultimate story, a family that has moved to the countryside starts growing flowers in an empty field – and starts gaining interest from potential buyers on the Mercari platform.

And in the final episode, Riku’s father is hospitalized – and he asks her to watch a videotape featuring footage of her late grandparents. 

“Deliveries from the Heart – True Stories from Mercari” is a 2020 Japanese drama series that was directed by Kenji Katagiri.
