Otto no Kanojyo (Otto no Kanojo / Husband’s Woman / 夫のカノジョ) (J-Drama)

I like you, Yamagishi.

The story I'm going to tell now happened to our family

The truth is something I can't tell you!

It's a very strange tale.

Mama suspected Papa of having a girlfriend.

But that was all a misunderstanding on Mama's part.

Papa was tutoring a girl from his office named Yamagishi Hoshimi-san

to help her study for the full-time employment exam.

Don't meet with my husband anymore.

A strange old lady appeared in front of the two them.

Neither one of you can see what's really important.

And somehow Mama and Hoshimi-san switched bodies.

After you two have overcome an obstacle

and the appropriate time comes, you will return to normal even if you don't wish to.

And if you tell anyone about having switched bodies,

you will never be able to return to normal.

And so they switched bodies and each assumed the other's life.

I want you to come and work alongside me as soon as possible.

Hoshimi's mother is the owner of Patisserie Fumiko?

From now on, let's talk properly with one another.

Stop kidding around.

But a new problem presented itself to the two of them.

I want to know more about you.

I'll wait for you. Eh?

I'll wait until you're able to forget about the section chief.

No, um...

I like you, Yamagishi.

Eh~! I'm not Yamagishi, though!

I wonder if she isn't home yet.

Eheheh, Papa, you took a quick bath tonight, huh?

Did I?

Who have you been calling lately?

Eh? Is it someone you can't tell me about?

Hahaha, what are you talking about, Papa?

Then who is it?

Eh...

Mama.

No, Hishiko.

Tell me the truth.

The truth is something I just can't tell you!

This time, it's Papa who misunderstands.

And because of that misunderstanding...

Papa and Mama are fighting.

Are Papa and Mama going to get divorced?

I've started to worry about it.

I always liked the real Mama

who has now switched bodies with Hoshimi-san.

Please stop it! Let go! This bothers me!

What're you doing? Eh?

No, I-- Ow, ow, ow!

Wait, wait! Oh, Jesus!

Hold on, Yamagishi!

Ow ow ow ow!

What should I do?

So what in the world is going to happen now?

No!

Ah~ it was a dream.

She's sleeping out there again.

She's been sleeping on the sofa for a month already.

No matter how I look at it, it's weird.

Maybe if I look at this, I can figure out what's going on.

No, I can't do that. She's my wife.

But maybe, Hishiko really has fallen in love with someone.

No, no, there's no way.

Probably not.

I have to look.

No, I can't.

Let's take a look.

No!

Hey, hey, wait--

Ah. Morning.

I'll make breakfast.

I didn't look at it. Eh?

Your cellphone.

Hold on...

This is really bad, isn't it?

I like you, Yamagishi.

Wah, you have bad timing.

My stomach hurts.

Are you all right? I'm fine.

Ugh.

Why are you calling me at this hour?

I know it's inexcusable to call in the morning when you're so busy.

Anyway, Mugi thinks something's up.

Papa suspects something? What?

He thinks you have someone you like or something.

Eh, someone I like?!

"Lately you'e been talking on the phone in secret" and saying things like that.

He asked "Who is it you've been talking to?

And he tried to look at my cell phone a little earlier.

Oh dear, he definitely suspects something.

Papa worries about me even with things like that.

Then he really does love me after all, doesn't he?

Don't you already know that? What are you so happy about?

I'm not especially happy...

Yes you are. Now what do you want, anyway?

Ah, actually, there's something that's a little worrisome.

Yes? Mama, hurry up.

It's starting to come out!

Don't let it come out! I'll call you back later.

Ah, wait, wait--

Yes, yes, yes. Sorry, sorry. Mama, you take too long!

Mama, next is Papa.

Ah~ that was close.

Breakfast, breakfast, c'mon.

Did it come out? Hey, did it come out?

It came out. Ok.

Ok, ok.

I'm off! See you when you get home!

I'm off now. See you when you get home.

Shoot, I'm late! That's why you should go to bed earlier.

Ah, my handkerchief. You don't need it. Hurry up.

Just kidding~

You're awesome, Mama. I'm going now. See you when you get home.

Parents always, ALWAYS worry about their children.

Day in and day out, they can't help but worry.

It's because you're the most important thing to them.

Parents are amazing.

If you're not going to answer your phone,

then give me a call once in a while.

Your mom wants to know more about you.

The company is now facing a precarious situation

but let's all work together

and meet it head-on and succeed. Of course.

I'm counting on all of you. Excuse us.

20%? That isn't a high number, is it?

Good morning.

Good morning. Morning.

Eh?

If a wife cheats, it's really all her husband's responsibility, isn't it?

Take me, for example. Every week on our day off, we go out shopping together.

And once a month, we have a date, just the two of us.

On my wife's birthday and our anniversary, I take her to dinner and give her a present without fail.

Just as we'd expect of you, Boss. I'm jealous of your wife.

Aren't you, though? Oi, Komatsubara, how about you?

What do you do? Section Chief, how about you?

Uh, it's pretty much like the boss here.

Tell us something good you do.

You know, the secret to a happy marriage is

"Doskoi." "Doskoi?"

"Doskoi"? From the first character in "great effort"

Like when you're exhausted from work but you don't say anything, love is the same.

You have to make effort to properly make time for just the two of you.

Great effort... The next is "s" from "skinship"

Skinship?

Obviously, when you walk together you hold hands.

And when you leave in the morning or get home at night, you obviously kiss.

Eh, kiss?!

Kiss? Don't be so bashful.

Komatsubara, your face is red. It's cute!

You should start doing it right away, starting today.

When you get home, say "I'm home" with a kiss.

I'm home. Welcome back.

No way. That can't happen.

Then the next part is "ko" from "words".

You have to unexpectedly put your feelings into words.

You have to properly express things like "I love you" and "Thank you."

I see.

You really know your stuff, Boss.

Then the last part is "i" from "always being together"

When you're home, you gotta always stick by your wife's side.

Hishiko, I love you. Let's always be together.

Matrimonial bliss is found through "doskoi."

He really looks like he's ready to put this plan into action.

I'm happy, but this isn't the time! Doskoi is forbidden right now!

Yamagishi, take this data down to the Development Department.

No way... Absolutely not!

Eh? It's only running it down there.

Ah, sorry.

Um... sorry about yesterday.

No, I should be the one to apologize. I'm sorry.

Hey, this Saturday,

do you wanna go somewhere? Eh?

The movies or an amusement part or something?

Can I think about it a little?

You wanted to ask me about something?

Is it ok to go on a date with Ishiguro?

Huh? He invited me out this Saturday,

but I wanted to check with you and see how you felt about it first.

How I feel...

Actually, Ishiguro-san

seems like he likes me, right?

Er, when I say "me", I mean you.

Are you still half-asleep even this late in the day?

I'm serious.

He really asked you out?

He really asked me out.

For real? For real.

You never noticed Ishiguro's feelings?

It seems like he's liked you for a long time now.

No way, Ishi-yan has never acted like that at all.

I don't get it.

He's a different kind of guy, huh? If he likes me.

Hoshimi, do you like Ishiguro-san?

I don't particularly like him.

Then it would be best if I turned him down, right?

Ah... yeah.

All right.

Ah, but...

Nah, nothing, nevermind.
