Chiaki takes an interest in the pure and innocent Ama, and at the urging of his mischievous friend Asakura Kairi, who proposes a bet on whether Chiaki can “win Ama over”, he approaches her playfully. However, when he witnesses Ama growing closer to her co-star and on-screen love interest, Hachimura Rintar?, feelings of jealousy begin to stir within Chiaki.

Meanwhile, Ama comes to Chiaki’s aid when he is being pressured for money by his biological mother, Natsumi, and he gradually finds himself drawn to her sincerity. On the other hand, Ama awakens to her path as an actress and auditions for a new project by the up-and-coming director Tanuma, steadily beginning her journey as a performer.

A bit similar plot about younger ML & older FL who attracted to each other but FL already married but FL & ML had an affair. If you like this kind of genre is a must watch drama. Yamapii is an eye candy for sure.
