Is this your next Japanese drama fix? Let's dive into "Date of Marriage" (also known as "Kekkon No Hiyori"), the 2023 rom-com starring Ohara Sakurako and Matsuda Genta.  This show follows Kawai Yoshiko, who had her whole life planned out: Married by 26, first child by 27, and second child by 29. But disaster strikes just days before her 29th birthday when she finds herself single!

Enter Yuuki-san, her younger, enigmatic colleague. In a surprising turn of events, Yuuki-san proposes a deal: if Yoshiko is still single on the eve of her 30th birthday, he'll marry her!
