Oomae Haruko is an A Temp worker who never cracks a smile, does not mince words, and leaves work at 5 o’clock on the dot. Her cynical nature indicates she has something painful to hide. Satonaka Kensuke has just been promoted to the head of S&F's new Marketing Division. Saddled with a rag-tag staff, he is struggling to lift his division off the ground. Placed in Kensuke's department, Oomae finds herself working harder than ever before. This timely drama examines the different attitudes toward temp workers and regular employees and the ways in which to overcome friction in interpersonal relationships. This follows an October report by the Labor Ministry on labor conditions. The report showed that once regulations were relaxed, the proportion of regular employees to Temps doubled compared to eight years ago. (Source: DramaWiki)
