The seventh episode of the TV drama "Private Banker" (TV Asahi, Thursdays 9pm) starring Toshiaki Karasawa was broadcast on February 20th.
The drama is an original work that focuses on a private banker who advises the wealthy on asset management and creation, and is a thrilling money suspense story in which Anno (Karasawa), a highly skilled private banker, solves the various financial problems of the wealthy Amaguji family.
In the story, Saori (Anna Tsuchiya), the eldest daughter of the Tenmuji family and executive director of the Tenmuji Aina Group, launches a coup against her mother, Mikoto (Mari Natsuki), the vice president.
Saori teams up with her friend from her school days, the talented private banker Okada (Wentz Eiji), to boldly reform Tenguuji Aina's restaurant "Hanauma Hamburg". It achieved its highest sales ever, and the coup seemed to have been successful, but Mikoto, who is a master of many things, launched "Kiwame Hanauma", a restaurant with the exact opposite concept to "Hanauma Hamburg".
In response to this development, viewers on social media were quick to comment, "Is this Otsuka Furniture...?", "It's like the old Otsuka Furniture family feud, lol", "Private Banker. Isn't this just like Otsuka Furniture (lol)", and "Private Banker is totally like Otsuka Furniture lol."
