This series is a human comedy about a man consumed by his craving for recognition, staking everything on his bid to reclaim the spotlight. Stage actor Takasegawa Gen (Yakusho Koji), who achieved the historic honor of becoming the first Japanese performer to play a leading role at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London, is unable to return to Japan for certain reasons and finally comes home after nearly two years abroad. But for Takasegawa, who thrives on the need for validation, the greatest tragedy awaits when he discovers he is completely forgotten by the entire world.
