On the day that Akira (Nakai) and Emi (Nakam) are getting married, Akira's friend who works in the local municipal office told him that he's actually married with another woman and hence cannot marry Emi. The truth is that Akira's wallet was stolen by a guy who then passed the wallet to Faye Lin (Faye). Faye came from China to Japan in the hope of fulfilling her dream to be a fashion designer. Seeing that her dream is not fulfilled and her visa is expiring, she copied the information from Akira's license found in the wallet onto the wedding document and submitted it to the marriage registry in the municipal office. Not wishing to hurt Emi, Akira continues the wedding ceremony with her. On one hand, Emi, who thinks that Akira had registered their marriage in the municipal office, happily married to him and be his sweet little wife. On the other hand, Akira is trying all sort of ways to make Faye sign the divorce document....

Funny....but seriously, I didn't really fancy this drama. I thought the chemistry between Nakai and Faye is rather weak. And it doesn't help that most of the casts speak weird Japanese since they are supposed to be foreigners. I was frowning away listening to their accent. Watch it if you are really free.
