Native Title ファーストペンギン！
Synopsis
Penguins are naturally fearful animals who are quite reluctant to dive into the ocean, where many of their predators lurk. But when that one courageous penguin takes the plunge, all the others follow suit into the rough waters! First Penguin is the term for that valiant one.
This drama follows a single mother who, like a First Penguin, dives into the fishing industry despite not having any experience or knowledge about it. Together with the fishermen, she rows through stormy seas to bring about reforms. Get ready for this exhilarating true-to-life success story modeled around the miraculous accomplishments of an amazing woman!
