Synopsis
Scary-faced new nursery teacher Karen must learn to connect with kids—and unexpectedly gets proposed to by her strict colleague.
Finally realizing her dream of becoming a nursery school teacher, Karen Kawai has a tiny problem—she has the ultimate villain-face. At a glimpse of her appearance, the little students spill tears and run away. While Karen praises the coroner-turned-nursery teacher Taihei Hosaka for his capability and physical attractiveness, he instead reprimands her failure in acclimating with the class. According to him, it is not a matter of her face but because she does not converse enough with the children. As Karen slowly learns how to have a proper conversation, Hosaka suddenly proposes to her. Surely he can't be serious!
