Though he is good-looking, has an impressive curriculum vitae and draws a large salary, he is hiding a secret – he is incompetent at his job. After suffering setback after setback at work, Tsukasa finally musters up the courage to resign, but this too is thwarted by his wife’s pregnancy announcement. With Sayaka by his side, can she help him navigate the perils of the corporate jungle?
My Loser Husband premieres on 8 July 2017 at the same time as Japan, every Saturday at 9pm|8pm(JKT/BKK), first and exclusively on GEM.
