Momo (Ishihara Satomi) is on the verge of a breakdown as her self-confidence and self-esteem are shattered. An unexpected encounter befalls Momo, who has lost just about everything. Looks, career, wealth, and prominent family are all but lacking for mediocre 39-year-old bicycle shop owner Kazama Naoto (Mineta Kazunobu). What unfolds is a “Beauty and the Beast” romance of immense disparities! A heaven-sent bachelorette steps down to Earth and meets an ordinary guy, but there seems to be no hope in overcoming the great inequality that divides them. And yet the unthinkable–they fall in love. Bogged down by an unforgettable broken romance and constant attempts to split them apart, the two must withstand a barrage of tribulations in this torrid drama about pure love. |
