◇The following contains spoilers
The drama is an original love story written by Yumiko Inoue, known for her work on "Hirugao: Love Affairs in the Afternoon" (Fuji TV). Kimura plays Ogawa Manami, a serious high school teacher, and Raul plays Kaoru, a host who is bad at reading and writing.
Yoji was initially rejected by Manami, who said, "I want to pretend we never talked about marriage." However, Yoji's approach of telling her that "you're the first person I've ever wanted to marry" paid off, and he succeeded in changing Manami's mind. He immediately went to meet Manami's parents, saying, "I want to go ahead with it before you change your mind," and began to close the gap.
Afterwards, Yoji went to a jewelry store with Aimi. After purchasing an engagement ring, he said with a smug look on his face, "Now we're officially engaged," and revealed to Aimi that he had booked a hotel room for her.
When Yoji and Aimi entered the room, he recommended room service, saying, "I heard the curry is delicious." Yoji hugged Aimi, but Aimi refused, saying, "Wait a minute." "Can I go home today? After all, it was sudden, and women need to prepare themselves mentally," he said, and called her off for the night.
After Manami left, Yoji called Tadokoro Yukino (Nonami Maho). "Why don't you come to the hotel? The usual," she invited. When Yukino replied disinterestedly, "Did you get dumped? I'm tired of the curry there," Yoji selfishly reasoned, "I'm greedy. If I don't date two people at the same time, it won't be exciting. I need you to make her happy, and I need a woman called a wife to date you."
On social media, comments such as "Kawahara is trash...", "As of episode 2, his fiance Kawahara is by far the most heartless lol", "Kawahara is just too gross in so many ways. He needs to get over Manami quickly", and "Kawahara is just really gross. There's a scene where he talks about having no experience in love, and knowing about his relationship with Nonami Maho, he's just gross."
