Yukiya Kitamura takes on first lead for a prime-time terrestrial drama!

Co-starring, Yukie Nakama who returns to Fuji Television Network, Inc. series for the first time in 5 years! The new drama airs in the October 2025 season for the Thursday night drama slot.

This entirely original drama scripted by Yoshikazu Okada, is a heartwarming family comedy that follows a father of two played by Kitamura, and Yukie Nakama plays the role of the wife, portraying the lives of the people around them with both humor and warmth.

The story begins 19 years ago, when the Ogura couple made a pact under certain circumstances that when their children turn twenty, they’ll get divorced. However, the husband lives freely, having completely forgotten those words, while his wife has held onto this as her emotional anchor during marriage.

With their contrasting feelings, the series delicately yet light-heartedly depicts how their seemingly ordinary daily lives gradually begin to shift.
