On My Wishlist: Unicorn ni Notte

New Mei Nagano Drama? Can you Say "YES, PLEASE?!"

"Unicorn ni Notte~Riding A Unicorn" Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki: 
When Sana Narukawa (Mei Nagano) was only 23-years-old, she co-founded startup company Dream Pony. The company’s product is an education app. Her dream was to have people all over the world use her app. Now, Sana Narukawa is 26-years-old. Her company is in its 3rd year of existence. The company grew rapidly initially, but is now experiencing a decline in its growth. Due to the slowdown, Sana Narukawa feels nervous everyday. In her personal life, she has feelings for Ko Suzaki (Sugino Yosuke) , who is a co-founder of Dream Pony. He is unaware of her personal feelings for him.
One day, middle-aged man Satoshi Kotori (Nishijima Hidetoshi) begins to work at Dream Pony as Sana Narukawa’s subordinate. Before working at Dream Pony, Satoshi Kotori worked for a more traditional type company, which had a totally different work environment from Dream Pony. At first, Sana Narukawa doesn’t like working with her new employee, but she gets closer to him and receives wise advice based on his long work experience. Meanwhile, Sana Narukawa continues to face hardships at work and her love life."

This plot synopsis sounds an AWFUL LOT like the 2015 Anne Hathaway/Robert DeNiro movie "the Intern"(only instead of Education App it was a Clothing Store App), and this was a movie I loved very, very much! Gotta say, if Unicorn is anything even remotely like it, I know I will love it!
But I guess all we can do is cross our fingers for now...
