The seventh episode of the TV drama "Private Banker" starring Toshiaki Karasawa (TV Asahi, Thursdays 9pm) will be broadcast on February 20th.
The president of the Tenguuji Aina Group, Takehiro (Hashizume Isao), collapses. He survives, but his eldest daughter Saori (Anna Tsuchiya) and her siblings are worried about who will take over the company. Vice President Mikoto (Natsuki Mari), who appears with private banker Anno (Karasawa), declares that she will take over the company.
At a later board meeting, just as Mikoto was about to be appointed as the company's president and CEO, Saori staged a coup against her mother, Mikoto, demanding that Mikoto be fired due to the declining performance of the group's restaurant, Hanauma Hamburger.
In fact, Saori had informed Anno of her plan beforehand, but when Anno rejected her plan, she gave up on him and told him that she would team up with her friend from college, Okada (Wentz Eiji), a powerful private banker who had just returned from the United States. With Okada's advice, she staged a coup. The coup was successful, and Mikoto was dismissed. However, for some reason, Mikoto readily accepted it.
Saori, who has been appointed as the CEO, tries to entrust Okada with the task of turning around Hanauma Hamburg, but Anno, who does not trust Okada, tells her that he cannot accept it as the Tenmiyaji family's private banker. He then suggests to Saori that they deposit 1 million yen each into herself and Okada, and decide which one has made the most money after one week.
In the end, Okada tripled the amount and won by a landslide. His assistants Kumiko (Suzuki Honami) and Mikoshiba (Uesugi Shuhei) were shocked. Anno admitted defeat and backed down. Saori, who trusted Okada, took his suggestion and boldly reformed Hanauma Hamburger, resulting in record sales. Saori was delighted that she had finally beaten her mother, Mikoto, but...
The script is an original work that focuses on a professional private banker who advises the wealthy on how to manage and build their assets. This is a thrilling money suspense drama in which Anno, a highly skilled private banker, solves various financial problems for a wealthy family. The total number of views for catch-up streaming has exceeded 11 million (as of February 18th, according to Video Research).
