The first episode of the drama series "Wednesday, Please Let Me Be Embraced by My Husband" (TV Tokyo, Wednesdays at 12:30 AM), starring actresses Yuka Sugai and Noriko Iriyama, will air on the night of April 1st.
Yoko Kobuki (played by Sugai), a 29-year-old single woman, has been bad at socializing since an incident in high school, and has lived a lonely life without friends or a romantic partner.
Amidst all this, she finally found her first boyfriend, Fumiyuki Kamisu (played by Yu Inaba), who was the one and only person who accepted her kindly, and she was spending happy days with him. However, one day Kamisu made a shocking confession to her: "My wife found out about my affair. I want you to meet my wife."
Burdened by the shock of being deceived and a sense of guilt, Yoko visits Kamisu's house, only to be greeted by his wife, Rei (played by Iriyama), who wears a terrifyingly gentle smile...
The drama is based on the manga of the same name by Kikuko Kikuya from U-NEXT's comic label "U-NEXT Comic," with actor Kazuki Sawamura serving as chief director. The story follows Yoko, who falls into self-loathing after unintentionally having an affair, and goes to meet Kamisu's wife, Rei, to apologize, only to be told by Rei, "Would you continue to have an affair with Fumiyuki every Wednesday...?" This is an infidelity love suspense drama depicting the strange love triangle between Yoko, who continues her "officially sanctioned affair," Rei, whose true feelings are unclear, and Kamisu, who cannot stop cheating.
