Synopsis
The 24th NHK Yorudora is Nanairo no Obanzai, based on a novel by Shibata Yoshiki called Futatabi no Niji. Etsuko is the proprietress of a shop specializing in side dishes, nestled in a corner of the Nagoya business district. The shop has been thriving with regular customers, but no one knows anything about Etsuko's past. However, Etsuko has a special gift. She meets many customers whose hearts are filled with regret over past errors, sadness, and resentment, yet she always manages to ease their pain and gently help them overcome whatever obstacle they face. This is a drama that reminds us that no one can ever survive alone, and we all need each other. -- translated from excerpts of NHK synopsis by awrittensin
