Involvement in Family Affairs

2022 · 1 season

A polite but quietly cutthroat household drama where every dinner table exchange feels like a negotiation for belonging.

Starring
Tao Tsuchiya, Kouhei Matsushita, Tae Kimura
Overview
Sato, a young woman from a modest family, marries Kenta, a young man from a well-to-do and respected family. She settles in the family's home, where she meets the father, Keiichi, a strict man, Mihoko, the unfriendly sister-in-law and Akito, the elder brother. Although not everyone sees the union of Kenta and Sato in a very good light, the father seems to have great plans for our heroine.
