Synopsis: Narukawa Sana (Nagano Mei) is the CEO of Dream Pony, a start-up working on an education app that she founded at the age of 23 with Suzaki Ko (Sugino Yosuke). Her rather wild dream was to turn it into a unicorn within 10 years and make it an app that people all over the world can use. At the time it was launched, Dream Pony had a growth spurt, but as the company enters its third year in business without developing the next service, she has been feeling anxious about the slowdown in its turnover and technology. Work has always come first for Sana, and she does not care about romance and is oblivious to Suzaki’s feelings for her. One day, 48-year-old salaryman Kotori Satoshi (Nishijima Hidetoshi), who worked at a more traditional type of company and is one generation older than Sana, gets hired by Dream Pony as her subordinate. At first, Sana cannot stand Kotori, but she gets friendlier after being helped by his wise advice and philosophy based on his extensive experience. Kotori’s arrival also triggers a change in Sana’s business partner Suzaki who can no longer hold back the feelings that he has kept to himself for a long time. Sana suddenly finds herself caught in a triangle in both work and love.
