The drama is a love story that begins with the love between Aiko Hanamura (Kiyohara), a cool lawyer who doesn't believe in love, and Kai Shirasaki (Ryo Narita ), a "complicated veterinarian" who can only love animals, as their pet dogs fall in love. Na In-woo , a Korean actor who appeared in the Korean drama " Marry My Husband, " makes his first appearance in a Japanese drama as the heir of a Korean family.
According to the official website, Yuka unconsciously exudes pheromones to those around her, but despite her sexiness, she is described as a kind-hearted "older sister" type who is loved by everyone.
In the first episode, Yuka is seen speaking to Woo So-ha (Dog), whom she meets for the first time, in Korean, and smiling cutely at Watanabe Kosuke ( Riku Hagiwara), an animal nurse at Shirosaki Animal Hospital, saying, "Thank you, Kosuke!"
With her ponytail and refreshing smile, Fukada's presence attracted attention, and social media was filled with comments such as "Kyon is cute no matter how old she is," "Kyon is just too beautiful," "Kyoko Fukada is so cute she could be the lead," and "Kyon in a Tuesday drama... the best."
