Plot summary:

Nami Isayama (played by Haruka Ayase), embodies an elegant and enviable full-time homemaker. Seeking a change in her fractured life, she found her husband at a social gathering and relocated to a serene, upscale residential area for a blissful existence.

Her life seems tranquil and flawless, but after six months, Nami finds herself troubled. Lacking any culinary talent, she struggles even with basic tasks like cutting cabbage. Her homemade salad dressings face harsh critiques, and lately, her husband frequently settles for meals outside. What truly bothers her is the mundane nature of her daily life. The ordinary family life she once yearned for and attained no longer satisfies her.

Until one day, she discovers that seemingly content housewives harbor various hidden anxieties. Despite her incompetence in household chores like cooking and cleaning, Nami possesses an unwavering sense of justice; when angered, she becomes a force to reckon with. She abhors injustices and refuses to let wrongdoings slide. Thus, she steps up to champion the causes of the housewives.

Nami’s relentless pursuit of excitement stems from a past unknown even to her husband. Her childhood was devoid of support, leaving her unfamiliar with love, leading to her stubborn nature. However, through the camaraderie of the housewives and the infectious warmth from her husband, Nami gradually learns the true meaning of tenderness and affection.
