◇The following contains spoilers
The drama is an original love story written by Yumiko Inoue, known for her work on "Hirugao: Love Affairs in the Afternoon" (Fuji TV). Kimura plays Ogawa Manami, a serious high school teacher, and Raul plays Kaoru, a host who is bad at reading and writing.
Aimi visited the host club "THE JOKER" clutching the envelope sent by Kaworu. Inside the envelope was the "homework" she had given Kaworu. When Kaworu arrived, Aimi praised him, saying, "I received your homework. You did a good job. You worked hard. It must have been hard to write all that."
Manami was about to hand out her homework again, but Kaworu pleaded with her, saying, "Let's not talk about this in the bar. You're going out tonight, right? Please help the students," so she ended up ordering a drink.
Meanwhile, regular customer Akina Utsunomiya (Michiko Yoshise) comes to the bar, and Kaworu heads over to see her. Akina declares in a good mood, "I promise you, Kaworu, will be number one in my new role!" Kaworu spins around to express his gratitude, but Akina teases him, saying, "Kaworu? Is that all?"
Kaworu shows off one splendid performance after another. However, Akina is not convinced and belittles Kaworu in front of everyone, saying, "You're not good enough. You idiots need to compete with sincerity." But Kaworu puts on a smile as best he can.
Unable to bear seeing Kaworu like that, Aimi tries to leave, but trips on a step and falls. When Akina says to her, "Hey. It's a sunny day at the store, so why are you leaving?", Aimi defends Kaworu by saying, "Kaworu is not stupid."
On social media, comments such as "I was moved to tears when Aimi Sensei said, 'Kaworu-san is not an idiot,'" "I couldn't stop crying when Aimi Sensei said that," "I cried, sobbing," "I bet that made Kaworu really happy," and "The look on Raul's face when the teacher said, 'Kaworu-san is not an idiot,' was the best" were posted and attracted attention.
