A healing drama about Kara-chan, a fashion model who loves good food, and Shito-san, a hairstylist who loves saunas, traveling to private saunas around Japan, enjoying delicious meals, and healing both body and mind. As they spend time together on their travels, they slowly relax their tired bodies and minds while discussing everyday annoyances and work-related worries. Despite their polar opposite personalities, being together somehow feels calming and relaxing. Amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it's about gently acknowledging your hard work and giving yourself a little reward, and the happiness of having someone nearby to share that joy.
