Shiho Murakami (Tabe) and her family are invited by Reiko Nagano ( Noriko Eguchi) to go glamping. Reiko has also invited Nakatani.
When Nakatani revealed, "My wife said she wanted to come today," Shiho looked surprised and asked, "My wife?" Then Juri (Hiroko Shimabukuro) came in holding her daughter Karen (Mio Igarashi).
Juri took off her sunglasses and greeted, "Nice to meet you. I'm Juri Nakatani." When Shiho greeted her, Juri happily hugged Shiho and said, "You're Shiho! Tatsu-chan always takes care of you!"
Meanwhile, Nakatani asks, "What about you?" Tora (Wataru Ichinose) takes off his sunglasses and greets, "Hello, I'm Murakami Tora." Then, as if to counter Juri, he is shown hugging Nakatani and saying, "Shiho and Ichigo (Nagai Kana) are always grateful for your help!"
On social media, comments such as "Nakatani's wife has a strong personality," "She kind of looks like Nakatani-san's wife," "Nakatani's wife has a quirk when she appears," "Nakatani's wife is devastating!", "So Nakatani-san's wife is Shimabukuro Hiroko! I had no idea," "Shimabukuro Hiroko was beautiful," and "Toorou rivaling Nakatani's wife is so cute lol" were posted and attracted attention.
The original work is the novel "Taigan no Kaji" (Kodansha Bunko) by Akeno Kayoko. The drama depicts the "endless work" of housework through interactions with "people on the other side" who have different positions and ways of thinking than the protagonist. This will be Tabe's second time starring in the same time slot, five years after "My Housekeeper Nagisa-san" (2020).
