| Airi Matsui and Hayami Mokomichi |
Airi Matsui stars as Yui Sato, an OL in a huge pharmaceutical corporation who is having “the worst day of her life”. Her beloved pet dog has died and she is drowning her sorrows in a few dozen drinks.
She cries to the sympathetic bartender but her pity party is cut short when a cold officious man chides her for her whining and says if she misses her dog so much she can die, too!!
So angered by this man’s attitude that before she knows it, she has stuck out her leg and tripped the guy...who falls flat on his face!
“Sorry…” she drawls. “I MEANT to do that!!!” And with that, she storms off in a huff.
The next day, fighting off a throbbing hangover and regretting her actions, Yui tries to compose herself and go to work. As she makes her way to the lobby, there is a big commotion as the company president Kyoichi Amagi (Hayami Mokomichi) is arriving.
Yui admits to her colleague Ami Ishikawa (Moemi Katayama) that she actually hasn’t ever seen the president, and she is shocked when, of course, the President turns out to be none other than the man she tripped the night before!
She is STUNNED by the revelation, but doesn’t have time to think when the President HIMSELF strides into her department and demands she come up to his office!!
Yui knows she;s in trouble now and meekly scurries up to the huge office, expecting to be reprimanded or even terminated!
The LAST thing she expects is when the stern president DROPS to his KNEES…
…and BEGS Yui to dominate him!
“Please treat me as your slave!!” he pleads, explaining that when she lashed out at him, she was the first one to EVER stand up to him and that made him fall instantly in love with her!
She is sure he must be joking, but when he keeps at it and constantly badgers her, she feels he MUST be making fun of her, and her belligerent persona comes out once again!
Throwing him to the ground and slamming her foot down next to his head, she barks, “Are you making FUN of me?” She’s trying to make a point, unfortunately, this mean-hearted attitude is JUST what the President WANTS, and he simply SWOONS!
Backing off, she stresses in no uncertain terms that she rejects his request and wants to only go back to her usual relationship...
But now that she’s caught the President’s eye, he is constantly meddling in her day to day activities, forcing her superiors to apologize to her and even making the pharmaceutical techs who couldn’t save her dog to bow down to her!
This is humiliating enough, but soon the entire building is gossiping about her, whispering “That’s the president’s girl!” She’s had enough, and goes up to confront the president again. But his pandering attitude brings out the WORST in her, and she ends up drop kicking him to the ground and dominating him AGAIN! How will she EVER work things out with this guy!?
Oh MAN, such a FUN drama so far! Airi Matsuo is perfectly cast as the adorably addled Yui with one of those faces that reflect her confusion, contempt and curiosity like Ayase Haruka did back in her Hotaru No Hikari days- in fact, there are times (such as this scene below) where her suspicious eyes darting back and forth REALLY reminded me of Hotaru!
PS: this is the first drama Hayami Mokomichi and Airi Matsuo have appeared in since Jigoku Sensei Nube, where he played a teacher and she a student!
