Natsu Takato (Asami Mizukawa) is a woman in her mid-thirties and to the outside world, she appears to have a near-perfect life. She is a popular screenwriter who has been commissioned to write for a major new work. She lives with her apparently devoted husband Takatou Shogo (Hidekazu Mashima) in the suburbs of Saitama. Her husband is a former TV network director, but has become a stay-at-home house husband and her business manager, taking care of financial matters and chores while she ostensibly focuses on her work.

However, Natsu Takato is beset by an irrepressible sense of lust that leads her to pursue an extramarital relationship with a theater director. And she also begins to feel that her husband’s influence is starting to encroach on her writing – and that he is trying to micromanage her creative processes. She decides to split from Takatou Shogo – much to her family’s annoyance – and moves to the capital, Tokyo, to live on her own. In the big city, more romances beckon for Natsu Takato, but where will this new adventure take her?

“Double Fantasy” is a 2018 Japanese drama series that was based on a novel of the same name by Murayama Yuka and directed by Minorikawa Osamu.
