The original work is "Isamashii Monogatari" by Shugoro Yamamoto. It depicts the hardships of a newly appointed accountant, but the surprise and excitement that awaits at the end of the mystery and turbulent development woven by the characters with their own stories is what makes this drama so appealing. Genichiro Okugawa (played by Masatoshi Nakamura) is appointed as the head of accounting in a feudal domain and travels with his servant Gonsuke (played by Masao Imafuku) to the country from Edo. Along the way, they are attacked by masked samurai on a mountain road. Genichiro is saved by Sukezaemon Tsuda (played by Shin Saburi), the supervisor of public works who was out hunting. Upon arriving in the domain, Genichiro is given a warm welcome by the vassals, who force him to drink heavily and find his subordinates to be rebellious. His proposed fiscal reforms are met with resistance, except by Tsuda who understands Genichiro's intentions. Genichiro marries Matsuo (played by Mariko Fuji), the daughter of a senior councilor, but soon faces accusations of corruption. See less
