This series is set in downtown Tokyo. Tamayo, the wife in the Aramaki family, who wants to go her own way in life, is living together with her mother-in-law Yoshie, a strong-willed woman, in an environment that's like a continuous knockdown drag-out battle. Although he's at the mercy of their constant arguments, Ryosuke is a breadwinner in the family who manages to prevail upon the two of them to get along with each other. But if the man they both love? either as a husband or as a son? should suddenly disappear? Now these two women, so different in character and like strangers to each other, are forced to live under the same roof. In a series of stops and starts, will they eventually get to understand each other and become a real family? Here's a moving home drama with a generous portion of laughs and tears. (Source: Fuji TV)
