For review of this dorama, check out Kaze's website at :
Kazuyuki Yamamura works at a major advertising agency, and is the breadwinner of his family, which consists of himself, wife Miki, and daughter Rie. He purchases a house, and is proud of being at the pinnacle of his career.
Kazuyuki's neighbor, Yusuke Sugio, however, leads a completely different life. The breadwinner of his family is his wife Shoko, who runs her own company. Yusuke is a so-called "at-home dad," and because of this, Kazuyuki considers him miserable and helpless.
Suddenly one day, Kazuyuki is forced to quit his company. At the same time, his wife receives a call from her former employer saying he wants her to come back to work. Consequently, Kazuyuki has no other choice but to stay at home while Miki works. Kazuyuki reluctantly starts his new life as a household husband�the last thing he wanted to do.
Kazuyuki's new "career" starts out as a big failure, because he can't seem to do anything right. This consequently causes his pride as an elite businessman to go right down the drain. But thanks to his hard-working personality, he is determined to get the ball rolling�and soon after, finds himself enjoying life as an at-home dad. From this point on, Kazuyuki begins looking up to Yusuke as his mentor.

Synopsis from The Japan Times :
Learning is often called a lifelong process, but what is the meaning of education to someone whose days are known to be limited? This is one of the questions addressed in the new drama series "Denchi ga Kireru Made (Until the Battery Runs Out)" (TV Asahi, Thursday, 9 p.m.).
Satori (Naomi Zaizen) is a teacher hired to teach classes at an in-hospital school. The classes are for children who, due to their treatment, are required to stay at the hospital for a long time, thus preventing them from attending regular school. Satori's class contains elementary school students and one junior high-school student. Some of the students are terminal cases.
In the first episode, Satori discovers that a former student of hers now works at the hospital. She also gets her comeuppance from Dr. Suenaga (Takenori Jinnai), a physician who scolds Satori and tells her that the classes she teaches should never interfere with the treatment he administers because making the children well is the most important thing. In addition, Satori's lone junior high-school student, Kaoru, doesn't show up for the first day of class.
