The drama is set in a television news program and is a socially conscious entertainment piece that pursues the truth buried in the darkness and brings evil to justice.
In the third episode, Motohashi ( Shunsuke Michieda) sneaks into the laboratory of Shinomiya (Non), a researcher at Teito University, to prove the innocence of his senior from university days, Kuribayashi (Inowaki Kai). However, he is found and is suspended for a while.
Afterwards, thanks to Shindo (Abe-san)'s arrangement, Motohashi was able to stay on the report. When Motohashi expressed his gratitude, Shindo told him, "I just decided to use you in the report one more time." Motohashi couldn't help but smile and glanced at Sakikubo, who was there with him.
Sakkubo also smiled at Motohashi as if to cheer him on... and so it continued.
On social media, comments such as "Mei-chan was great this week too!", "So cute! I love Mei-chan's smile!", "Mei-chan was so cute! Every fashion looked good on her and even each of her hair accessories was cute," and "Mei Nagano is so cute" were posted and became a hot topic.
