Synopsis

The latest in the Ubai Ai series delivers an intense yet heartrending romantic drama where various characters fiercely compete for love.
 
It began with Ubai Ai, Fuyu, which aired in 2017 on TV Asahi’s Friday Night Drama slot. This was followed by Ubai Ai, Natsu in 2019 (ABEMA), and in 2021, Naguri Ai, Honoo and Ubai Ai, Kōkō Kyōshi. Each new installment has sparked widespread buzz on social media.
 
In this new installment, protagonist Umino Manatsu (Matsumoto Marika), falls into forbidden love with Sorachi Taimu (Yasuda Ken), the heir to a wealthy company she meets at her new workplace. Manatsu ends her relationship with her fiancé Oura Hayato after an affair, and begins to question her career as a tabloid journalist. Seeking a fresh start, she takes a new job as a PR representative at the watch company TOWANI. There, she meets Sorachi Taimu, who looks strikingly similar to Hayato. Taimu, who suffers from male infertility, feels suffocated by the overwhelming love of his wife, who desperately wants a child. As Manatsu and Taimu spend more time together, they find themselves irresistibly drawn to each other—despite the emotional turmoil it brings.
