Dean Fujioka stars as an elite businessman Hokuto who meets a young woman Chiwa (Nana Seino) working at a hostess bar to pay off her parents' debt. While their initial encounter causes Chiwa to be fired from the club, the next day she is summoned to meet Hokuto again, where he suddenly proposes to her. A marriage-of-convenience proposal. Can the couple find love in a purely business-like marriage contract?
I was somehow disappointed by Hapimari: Happy Marriage!? . I was expecting a rather more original story than this one. However, the drama has many, many, many chliches that were just unrealistic. And it is a shame, because the story had potential. At least the couple had strong chemistry and I enjoyed them. But the whole family secrets, which were confusing eventually, were just idiotic, especially the constant attacks against the main character's life. So, the romance was good, but the rest of the story was not. Finally, the performances were nice.
