◇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.
Manami and Yoji Kawahara ( Ayumu Nakajima) decided to meet her parents. Manami was worried that her father, Seiji (Yoshi Sakou), would say something rude.
On the day of their meeting, Seiji advised Kawahara, "It's good to work until you vomit blood once." Seeing Kawahara's confused look, "Vomit blood?", Sanae followed up on Seiji's statement by saying, "I'm sorry. My husband is bad at jokes."
However, Seiji said to Sanae in a sulky mood, "I'm not joking. You don't know anything about the world, so don't get involved!"
Meanwhile, Sanae gets up from her seat and says, "I'll go and change the tea," and hurries to the kitchen. She puts her nose close to the basil leaves in the kitchen and smells them. She picks up a leaf, smells it again, and puts the leaf back into the pot.
On social media, comments such as "I can't stop thinking about Basil's mother," "It looks like there won't be a single basil leaf left," "It looks like her mother is going to explode one day," "I look forward to the emotional outburst that will probably come in the future when Aimi's mother will no longer be able to contain it by sniffing and sniffing basil," "I can't help but wonder when and how Aimi-sensei's mother will explode," and "Is it okay for Aimi-sensei to be growing up with those parents...?" were posted one after another, attracting attention.
