In the preview for the next episode, a white-haired Kozo is seen saying, "I'll win at Arima. Then Hope will retire. I'll retire with him."
On social media, comments such as "The president's hair is covered in gray in the preview for the next episode," "I was surprised to see the president's hair suddenly turn gray in the preview," "The president's hair has turned gray, so it looks like they've jumped ahead two or three years," "They say they're going to cover a 20-year story, so the story is moving quickly," "I'd like to watch this drama over about six months like a Asadora," and "I wish The Royal Family would be a two-season series." were all that were of interest.
The story is based on the novel of the same name by Kazuma Hayami. Kurisu admired her father, who was a tax accountant, and followed in his footsteps, but she experienced setbacks and lost hope. However, her life takes a major turn when she meets Kozo Sanno, a horse owner.
