About the Drama

In this gripping adaptation, Azusa, played by Haruki Takahashi, witnesses a life-altering betrayal as her husband engages in an affair with his DQN friends. For context, “DQN” is a slang term in Japan that refers to individuals who exhibit reckless and inconsiderate behavior. After moving from Tokyo to her husband's hometown to support their family business, Azusa quickly realizes that her husband, Yuki, has transformed into someone unrecognizable among his questionable friends.

As the narrative unfolds, viewers are propelled into a whirlwind of shocking events marked by chaotic confrontations and demands for dramatic apologies. One particularly intense incident sees Azusa catching her husband in a compromising situation with his DQN buddies, leading to an explosive confrontation where she faces shocking denial and manipulation from them.

Desperate to regain control and reclaim her dignity, Azusa decides to retaliate in a plot filled with suspense and emotional intensity. This electrifying horror story promises to keep audiences on the edge of their seats until the very end.
