Na In-woo , a Korean actor who appeared in the Korean drama " Marry My Husband " distributed by Amazon Prime Video, will make his debut in a Japanese drama as a Korean heir with a secret who appears before the two.
The series is a joint production between TBS and Korean production company STUDIO DRAGON, which has worked on hit dramas such as "Crash Landing on You." The script is written by Arisa Kaneko, and the directors are Shingo Okamoto, Noh Young-seop, and Yoshihiro Ito.

Episode 1: Aiko Hanamura, a lawyer who mainly handles divorce cases, immediately finishes her trial and heads home, ignoring the invitations to a study session from her agency's head Keita Motosawa and her partner, paralegal Rumiko Yuge (Emma Miyazawa). She wants to meet her recently adopted dog, Sakura, as soon as possible.
Dr. Shirasaki Kai, director of Shirosaki Animal Hospital, uses light-hearted jokes to explain in an easy-to-understand manner to university students the need for shelters for pets in a variety of circumstances.
One day, while Aiko was walking in the cherry blossoms, a large, fluffy white dog appeared in front of her. The two dogs looked at each other and were attracted to each other. They seemed to have fallen in love.
Kai, the owner of a dog named "Shogun," suggests that they go for a walk together for the sake of their "first love." However, Aiko refuses, saying, "Love is just an illusion."
Meanwhile, Woo So-ha (Na In-woo), the young heir to the emerging Korean conglomerate, the Ulloa Group, comes to Japan and visits Kai's veterinary clinic...
