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.
Yuka has known Kai since he was in veterinary school. Showing photos from that time to Kosuke (played by Riku Hagiwara), she reminisced, "I was in a vocational school for groomers. We had connections during training sessions, so we'd go to karaoke almost every day, go for drives, and drink until the morning. Kai would often laugh and say, 'I'm experiencing my youth for the first time!'"
When Kana (Riko Nagase), a staff member at the dog cafe, saw the photo, she was surprised and said, "Kai-san is young. Yuka-san hasn't changed at all!" When Kosuke asked, "Yuka-san, have you always been popular with men?" Yuka smiled and said, "Well, I was still young, so I was a bit cunning."
Kana asked Yuka, "By the way, you're a swamp type now, aren't you?" to which Yuka replied, "In the past, I was a small eater and wouldn't eat much in front of the person I was interested in, but now..." she looked at Kosuke, stuffed the donut into her mouth, and said meaningfully, "It's totally fine!"
Kosuke is shown overjoyed, saying, "Eh? Does that mean... (Yuka likes me?)"
On social media, comments such as "I can see why Kyoko is a swamp these days," "Both the 'cute' Fukada Kyoko and the 'swamp' Fukada Kyoko are just too good," "Kyon on Tuesday at 10pm was so cute... She'll always be my goddess," "Kyon's too cute, she's a swamp," and "Kyon doesn't look like she's 42" became a hot topic.
