Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Dispatched teaching staff member Nanami (Haru Kuroki) meets Tetsuya through SNS and decides to marry him. She doesn't have many relatives and turns to 'Nandemo Ya' run by Amuro (Go Ayano). She asks the agency to send people to her wedding and for some to pretend they are her relatives.

Early in her marriage, Nanami finds Tetsuya having an affair, but her mother-in-law, Kayako, insists Nanami is having the affair. Due to this, Nanami has to leave her home. Amuro gives Nanami, who is in trouble, odd part-time jobs.

Main character is dumbest hero I have ever seen in movies. Maybe she is retarded or something, but without doubt the biggest yes-man and pushover on the planet. It's hard to sympathize with such character, asking for trouble with every her decision. In the end she got enough money to buy a nice apartment and Amuro, despite being manipulative, he was nice to her, even at times when he didn't need to, so it's a mystery to me, what was his goal. He doesn't fit any psychopath or stalker profile, very difficult guy to decipher.

kon-park Jul 12 2020 8:31 pm Haru is pretty, she has really nice feminine hair here - much better than the cury hair serial

Della Apr 17 2019 4:39 am bored in 10 minutes. so i watch again from beginning. but i'm surprised that I really in to the movie. 1. if you have spare time just watch it ok. its slow and i guess why people dislike it because they dream about romantic relatioship. the movie serve romantic moment in diffrent way. 2. because it is psycological movie. so you must stay focus. 3. i watch it because ayano and rating too. the actors and actres super briliand. storyline also unpredictable. i almost hate ayano and feels that i'm in there, inside the movie with them.

spoiler : the bad guy win. from the beginning he set the girl up. poor girl

9.5 out of 10

rewatch ..... when have another free time. because it took so long but worth to watch.

aaa Nov 29 2018 10:49 am The most worst film that i've ever seen in my life. Its not relevan with the flow story

Philippines Oct 02 2016 2:10 am I spend 3 hours watching this. There's a lesbian kiss here. I though Amuro-san will fall inlove with Nanami-san but is not. Yeah the agency took the job perfectly to divorce Nanami marriage. I hope Tsuruaka forgive her stranged wife at the end but I wrong. Overall Job Job desu! I'm taking my leave...
