Construction company employee Michi Yoshino (Nao) is married to a shy and reticent man who loves her, but avoids her whenever she tries to get intimate with him – to the extent that it’s been two years since they last had sex. One evening, feeling particularly neglected and frustrated, she sits outside drinking a can of beer when she bumps into her successful and popular boss Makoto Niina (Takanori Iwata). Like her, Makoto is also feeling neglected by his spouse: his wife is a successful fashion editor who never “has time” for intimacy. But could this heart-to-heart lead them to a dangerous romantic encounter… and the potential end of both their marriages? This 2023 Japanese drama series was based on a manga series by Haru Haruno and was directed by Hiroshi Nishitani.

Even if You Don’t Do It

The Forbidden Couple

Having been raised by a modern, liberal family, Saki M izuguchi (Keiko Kitagawa) grew up believing she could do and be anything she wanted. With that mindset driving her, Saki grew up to become an outstanding editor at a fashion magazine, a job which she absolutely loves. Koichi Obara (Eita Nagayama), on the other hand, grew up in a strict military family. As straight-laced as they come, Koichi grew up to become the ace of the Air Rescue Wing of the Air Self-Defense Force.

Despite being polar opposite in every way, Saki and Koichi fall madly in love, immediately after meeting. Convinced they’re destined for a lifetime of marital bliss, Saki and Koichi decide to skip a drawn-out dating period and go straight to the wedding. With a lavish wedding soon behind them, the newlyweds are excited to start their happy life together. But the realities of married life soon have them regretting their decision to marry so quickly. Unable to agree on anything, Koichi and Saki soon tire of their constant bickering and begin to start looking for a way out of their marital misery.

Unable to admit to their family and friends that their marriage is an utter failure, Koichi and Saki attempt to divorce in secret. But separating the lives of those brought together by their marriage proves much more difficult than they imagined. Will they find a way to end their misery without hurting those around them?
