Synopsis

After 25 years together, getting to know what your husband or wife really thinks.

Taichi Yamaguchi (Masakazu Tamura) is the president of a mail order company. He has his own TV shopping show and uses his wife in his standard sales pitch.

"My wife is going to be furious. You're not selling it that cheaply, are you?"

This sales pitch works well for him. His wife, Hana (Hitomi Kuroki), has been with Taichi for 25 years. She met him while she was at junior college and was taken with him at first sight.

They have 2 children – a daughter Nao (Ai Kato) and a son Jun (Takashi Tsukamoto).

As it is, Hana is pretty happy with her life, but she has to take care of all matters relating to the home and feels a little sad that he husband no longer sees her as a woman.

One day, a dispute erupts in the Yamaguchi household. Nao is getting married to Shingo Motoki (Nao Omori). One of Taichi's most trusted employees. Whether it is because he had no idea they were seeing each other, or that they had reserved a venue for their reception without consulting him, Taichi is vehemently opposed to the union. He takes Hana with him to the reception venue to cancel the reservation. However, while there he meets Sachiko Machida (Michiko Haneda) who looks like an old flame of his from before his marriage. Hana becomes uneasy...

Exploring the themes of what it means to be a husband and wife and the reason that people marry, it depicts the every day of a husband and wide in a real yet comical way. It portrays two people who think they have lived the ideal life, but is just like you and me.

A sweet and sensitive look at an aging couple struggling with their marriage. This well-acted drama is a nice follow-up to all the marriage-happy endings. Reminds me of these lines in Kurosagi: "Cinderella meets Prince Charming. They get married. That's when the real story begins."

Married Couple will appreciate this drama!

Predicable Plot : typical family fued, affair, love, puberty, marriage... Plus at the end of each episdoe, Tamura's character always reveals what happens next, but still interesting to watch how it happens. It just gets better as more chaos unfolds and of course, the last episode is the best. ***Avail for trade, 2 DVDs, B-~C+ VHS rip/Chinese
