JAPANESE DRAMA DATABASE: Omiai Kekkon

Omiai Kekkon (Arranged wedding)

Omiai Kekkon (Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on Fuji TV) also might be worth tuning in just to see Yusuke Santa Maria in his first leading role. The matchmakers have paired him up with Takako Matsu in this one. A romantic drama.

Nakatani Setsuko (Matsu Takako) quit her job as a stewardess in order to marry her boyfriend, Hiroshi. But things didn't work out well, and her parents finally came up to the decision to introduce Setsu to someone to get married. That someone turned out to be Hirose Koutaro (Yusuke Santamaria), who was forced by his boss to marry Setsuko. The two clearly weren't interested in each other, but gradually, they begin to respect each other.
