An original work by screenwriter Shizuka Oishi. Popular bachelor lawyer Harada Kotaro (Abe) is attracted to the mysterious high school art teacher Suzuki Nerula (Matsu) and marries her in a surprise marriage. However, Nerula turns out to be a suspect in the death of ex-fiancé Nuse Yuto (Reo Tamaoki) from a fall. Although it is a family drama, it is billed as a "marriage suspense" that questions the love between husband and wife.
The final scene was of Kotaro and Nella sleeping in bed. Nella, sleeping in a dynamic position, uttered, "Quando moriremo saremo insieme." On social media, viewers responded with comments such as, "I wonder if she's saying it in Italian at the end?", "What is Nella saying in her sleep at the end?!", and "Please say Nella's sleep talking in Japanese."
According to a production insider, it means "We'll die together" in Italian. Viewers who realized the meaning left comments such as, "It really touched me," "I think it's a happy thing to be able to marry someone you can think of as dying together," "When Fuse said, 'Let's die together,' Nella replied, 'Why do I have to die?' but when she's sleeping next to Kotaro, she says, 'We'll die together,'" and "They really have a Shiawase na Kekkon."
