Synopsis

This drama pits two protagonists against each other. On the one hand there’s Makoto, a woman who believes that the TV program is a product and that viewer ratings are the proceeds, and who believes any method is fair in getting those ratings. On the other hand there’s Hiromi, a flashy sort of guy who claims that life is to enjoy and boasts that the program is simply a tool in that process. He loves wine, women and gambling. Such a pair is bound to mix like oil and water, but following a fateful reunion, they come to understand each other in the midst of confrontation. Here’s a light comedy for adults that tells the story with lots of flair and pageantry to match the humor.
