Three strangers are caught in a series of mysterious events as they join hands to solve a crisis with both the police and the triad on their trail. They are ordinary people who have never met each other before - a downtrodden novelist, a stuntman who appears strong but is weak in reality and a tour guide who has another identity.

Minami Hinako is the company president of Office CAT, a mysterious detective agency that accepts requests from women who wish to have help with their relationship issues. The company’s objective is not just to facilitate a breakup for the client, but to “abduct” the targeted individual. Otherwise known as “Thief Cat” Minami Hinako has a 100% robbery success rate. She skilfully manipulates her appearance and personality to make the target fall for her, thus tearing apart relationships between men and women. One day, the company receives a request from a woman named Hayakawa Risa, asking for help in stealing away her abusive boyfriend.

Adapted from the manga "The drifting classroom" by Kazuo Umezu.

Here are seven friends belonging to the same astronomic observation club at the university. That said, having been so busy with going to the beach and skiing, they’ve actually only looked at the stars once at a college summer camp during their senior year. That summer, while cherishing their dreams for the future in their final summer vacation as students, they pledged undying friendship to each other.And now, three years later, having gotten involved in the working world, they find themselves at the mercy of the rough waves of real life. Living a busy life they suddenly realize that they’ve become distant from each other and they can’t really see heart to heart anymore. It’s now three years since they looked at the same stars and had a good laugh with each other. Will they continue to grow away from each other? Or will they bring back those bonds of friendship again and be able to find that unchanging “polestar” for them all? This drama depicts how these people continue to search for their polestar in life to confirm where they are. Sometimes it’s passionate, sometimes it’s fun, and sometimes it’s hard.

It tells the story of a down-and-out part-time talk show actress and an aloof male audience member suffering from alexithymia who get close to each other and heal each other. A love story of a woman who is funny to the end and a man who can't laugh, a love contest begins. However, what connects the romance is not just the emotions between men and women, but also the struggling urban youths living in Shanghai. On and off the stage in the play, the spicy yet observational complaints hit the pain points of life, and the humorous ridicule is light, but it is also full of optimism and open-mindedness.
