◇The following contains spoilers
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, a "complicated veterinarian" who can only love animals, and their pet dogs. 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.
When Aiko noticed that her dog Sakura was acting strangely, she rushed her to Shirosaki Animal Hospital. After Kai examined her, it was discovered that Sakura had accidentally swallowed a cake decoration. They were able to remove the decoration through surgery.
"I'm sorry, Sakura. I didn't notice," Aiko apologized to Sakura. As she stroked Sakura, who had calmed down after the operation, she muttered to herself, "I'm always acting all high and mighty and saying I'm fine being alone. In reality, I can't even protect this child. I'm sorry, I'm a bad owner."
Kai took Aiko's hand, who looked depressed, and made her feel Sakura's heartbeat in his hand, gently telling her, "Knock, knock, knock. I'm gradually calming down. That's because you're by my side." He continued, "I told you before. A day for a human is three days for a dog, and time flies by. That's why I can't lie, and I don't have time for that. This dog just loves you, and wants to be by your side."
Then Kai smiled at Aiko and said, "It's okay, your love is being conveyed clearly. You're a good owner."
On social media, comments such as, "It's been a while since we've seen Narita in this soft and gentle role," "It's been a while since we've seen Narita in a non-dark role," "Narita is the best in a bright role," "Narita is so cool," and "It's refreshing to see Narita in this soft and gentle role with lots of smiles."
