Show Title: The Full-Time Wife Escapist Audience Rating: PG Warnings: - Length of Episodes: 30-50min Length of Series: 11 eps plus a special Why you recommend it:
A jdrama about a young woman, Moriyama Mikuri (Aragaki Yui), who gets fired from her job, and then accepts a part-time job cleaning the apartment of Tsuzaki Hirasama (Hoshino Gen), computer scientist and professional bachelor. When she then also loses her place to live, she suggests he hire her as a "wife" (by which they don't mean sex, just housework and cooking and sharing his living space) - and he does.
She's wonderful and quirky, but also disciplined and "old on the inside" (which sounds stupid on paper, but the way it's presented on the show, it's so sweet). He's smart and focused and a total nerd and not all that good at communicating, while also sweet and kind and I LOVE HIM. The "escapist" part of the show's title comes from her tendency to daydream, which is shown in magical fantasy sequences.
The show is somehow not making fun of them, but very cute? Also, don't let the strange title put you off. You can watch it on Netflix.
