Ms. Saionji doesn't do Housework

西園寺さんは家事をしない   사이온지 씨는 집안일을 하지 않아   西園寺小姐不做家事

Saionji is a hard-working single woman (38) greatly admired by everyone at her IT company. But one thing she won’t do is housework! Just as she enjoys the freedom of a recently bought dream home and “life without housework,” a handsome young engineer and single father named Kusumi enters her life. When unique circumstances lead to them sharing her home together, an eccentric, fake family dynamic develops, which forces them to confront questions of what constitutes true happiness and family.

The Full-Time Wife Escapist

逃げるは恥だが役に立つ   도망치는건 부끄럽지만 도움이 된다   逃避虽可耻但有用

75 min × 3 eps / 60 min × 8 eps|11 episodes

Mikuri is a young woman with a graduate degree. But when no offers of employment come her way, she’s forced into taking on temp work and confronting “the painful realization that nobody needs her.” That’s when Mikuri lands a job as a professional homemaker for a strait-laced bachelor named Hiramasa. Mikuri’s perfectionist work ethic wins over Hiramasa’s complete trust, but unfortunate circumstances result in the loss of this job, too. Feeling anxious about the future, Mikuri makes Hiramasa a strange offer. “Would you consider employing me through marriage?” He agrees, and a nuptial agreement is signed, making the two legally betrothed in a somewhat falsified life as husband/employer and wife/employee.
Can the couple function in a strictly professional relationship like this without the truth becoming known? Is there any chance of a chemical reaction between a pure company man and a dreamer woman thrown together for mere convenience?
