Mone Kamishiraishi

Born and raised in a small rural town, Nami Suzuki (Mone Kamishiraishi) has lived a very average, ordinary life. With no particular dreams and no real ambition, Nami doesn’t really want much out of life. If she can find moderate amounts of work and love, she’s convinced she’ll be happy.&nbsp;

In order to pursue that moderate love, Nami follows her childhood friend and long-time crush, Kenya (Inukai Atsuhiro) to Tokyo, where she hopes to get a job in the supply management department of the same publishing company where Kenya works. Unfortunately Nami’s plans don’t work out exactly the way she imagined they would. Rather than working in the supply management department, Nami is hired to work in the editorial department of one of the company’s fashion magazines. Not really taking her job seriously, Nami soon earns the scorn of her hard-working editor-in-chief, Reiko Horai (Nanao).

Rather than letting Reiko’s criticism get her down, Nami allows it to inspire her to have bigger dreams of her own. With her attitude about work gradually changing, Nami finds that her thoughts on love have also started to change, especially after meeting cameraman Junnosuke Horai (Yuta Tamamori). With a new-found determination now driving her, will Nami have what it takes to make her new-found dreams come true?

A delightful tale of chasing big dreams in the big city, “Oh My Boss! Love not included” is a 2021 Japanese romantic comedy drama directed by Yasuharu Ishii, Kenta Tanaka, and Takeyoshi Yamamoto.

Oh My Boss! Love not included

Chasing Our Dream Team

Five years ago, Sakura Nanase (Mone Kamishiraishi) was one of a number of witnesses who watched as a handsome young doctor stepped in at the last minute to save the life of a stranger. Enamored as much by his charm as she was by his professional skill, Sakura could stop herself from immediately falling in love. Determined to find a way to meet this heroic doctor again, Sakura decided rather quickly that the only way to do so would be to go into the medical profession herself. Now, at twenty-two, Sakura is a rookie nurse who has just taken her first position at a local hospital.

Working hard at her new job, Sakura is surprised when she learns that the doctor she fell in love with all those years ago is working in the same hospital. But what’s even more surprising is the fact that Doctor Kiari Tendo (Takeru Satoh) is nothing like she imagined him to be. Often referred to as the “Devil” at work, Doctor Tendo is a cold perfectionist who has no qualms about making snide comments and biting remarks to his co-workers. Despite this fact, Sakura works hard to gain Doctor Tendo’s recognition at work and has no problem expressing her feelings about him openly and honestly. Her persistent nature earns her the nickname, “Warrior Chick” at work and, as she refuses to back down, Doctor Tendo can’t help but take notice.

Despite his numerous efforts to resist, Doctor Tendo finds his heart softening towards the tenacious nurse, Sakura. Will her dedication to her work and her persistent declarations of love be enough to finally win him over?

Adapted from the manga of the same name by Maki Enjoji, “An Incurable Case of Love” is a 2020 romantic comedy drama directed by Fuminori Kaneko, Ryosuke Fukuda, and Kenta Tanaka.

An Incurable Case of Love

After her parents announce that they’re moving, Aoi Nishimori (Mone Kamishiraishi) is quick to convince them to let her stay behind. Agreeing to her request, Aoi finds an apartment close to school and is soon comfortably settled. Happy with her new home, Aoi has no idea that her school’s “prince” Shusei Kugayama (Yosuke Sugino), is now her new neighbor.&nbsp;

The one boy at school that every girl loves, Shusei Kugayama is immensely popular, despite the fact that he has rejected every declaration of love that he has ever received. Knowing the odds, Aoi’s best friend, Moe Shibuya (Sara Takatsuki) decides to confess her feelings to Shusei and is promptly rejected. Indignant on her friend’s behalf, Aoi refuses to feel anything for Shusei but contempt. But when her princely neighbor’s apartment is damaged in a fire, her sympathetic heart wins out. Feeling sorry for Shusei, Aoi invites him to stay with her while his place is repaired.

Keeping her new roommate secret is hard enough but when she realizes she’s started to fall for her handsome house mate, “difficult” takes on a whole new meaning. To make matters worse, Shusei's cousin, Reon Kugayama (Ryusei Yokohama) has discovered her secret and insists on moving in. Now living with two handsome boys, Aoi has to wonder if her life will ever be normal again!
