And no! It’s not a love boss situationship. In-House Marriage Honey is a 2020 drama. Two people from the same company get married without knowing they work at the same office. They are in different departments. Both suffer from past relationships, and in society’s eyes, you are only going to look stable when you are married. If you don’t look stable, you will not have the chance to promote.
The couple are the stars of their own department – the office idols. The woman is too kind to notice the guys hitting on her. And the man gets jealous of her, just because she is his wife.
This Japanese drama is not boring. I find it amusing. It represents the changes in Japanese society since the events of World War 2.
In previous decades, the companies paid for the marriage interviews so that men had a more stable home. Of course, in this scenario, the woman would be just a housewife. Due to the “lost decade” events and the 90’s economic crisis, those dynamics changed. Marriage interviews became a more “family thing.” The boss and the company paying for those interviews became an unreasonable action.
And now, the younger generations are becoming a little more emotionally independent. They have a more globalised mind. They find the gaps and errors. They try to fix these problems.
However, fixing mistakes is not easy in a society used to the way things are . And also used to keeping a certain purity or stable way of doing things.
The full 7 episodes of the Drama are available on Viki.
