Around-the-clock protection sets love in motion. Hikaru Iwamoto takes his first solo lead in a continuing television drama and gives everything to protecting heroine Mai Shiraishi twenty-four hours a day!

The two people with the worst compatibility live under one roof, with rigorous protection at every time and place. This action romantic comedy, inviting the audience to speculate about a mystery, keeps both hearts and nerves racing. Arisa Kaneko, recognized for romantic comedy and more recently mysterious works, writes an original drama. Snow Man's theme LOVE TRIGGER conveys being drawn progressively into love by another person as the trigger, over a groovy, stylish band sound that brings out the group's mature sensuality and atmosphere. Iwamoto also choreographs the song. Catch-up viewing set a new record for the Oshidora Saturday slot, according to the publisher's release promotion.

While pursuing his father's killer, the bodyguard accepts round-the-clock protection of a hardworking but fiercely competitive, sharp-tongued and independent lawyer played by Shiraishi. Unsurprisingly, their personalities clash. Yet their 24-hour assignment requires them to live beneath the same roof. Enjoy the mystery, action and love of this fresh, heart-racing action romantic comedy in its Blu-ray box.

Tatsunosuke Kitazawa, played by Hikaru Iwamoto, works for RACCO Security. A law firm requests protection for attorney Rika Kishimura, played by Mai Shiraishi, who has become the target of resentment over an earlier case and is being threatened with death. The contract is signed, but just as protection is about to begin, Rika declares:'I don't need a bodyguard!' To avoid the cancellation fee, she reluctantly accepts one day's protection.

Accompanied by Tatsunosuke and his partner Minato Hara, played by Joichiro Fujiwara, Rika goes to meet a client. Tatsunosuke specifies the transport and route for safety and makes her climb six floors in high heels to avoid a crowded elevator. His inflexibility irritates her. She nevertheless prepares enthusiastically to meet rising meal-kit company president Togo Urushibara, played by Junpei Mizobata, but Tatsunosuke's imposing presence forces the meeting to be rearranged. Reaching the limit of her patience, Rika says protection ends that day and tries to lose him. When she attends a lecture at her former school, however, an incident really threatens her life...
