Work, romance, and life take on a strange twist when a chance meeting at a bar between company salaryman Mayuzumi Kankuro (portrayed by comedian Akashiya Sanma) and his managing director's secretary (Suzuki Anju) leads to an engagement rumor. Soon fellow employees and family members are drawn into the mess. Kankuro's career with the company could be affected as things become complicated and misunderstandings occur in every step he makes in this romantic comedy, and things only get worse with his inability to set the rumor straight.

Excruciatingly funny

10 / 10

jdoramadotcom · 2009

Koi no bakansu really knows how to turn the screws - a tightly written comedy about a womanizer who juggles three woman, and almost gets away with it. This is one of the rare things that are laugh-at-loud funny, assisted by a taut story line in which the main character's lies become a terrifying balancing act.

A classic charmer

This universal favorite is painfully difficult to locate, the delicious comedy of a salaryman playboy trying to juggle three girls at the same time. Truly funny, and arresting from stop to finish.
