Classic Smooth Tokyo Episode: My Housekeeper Nagisa-san (Netflix TV Series 2020 Review) Watashi no kaseifu Nagisa san
Konnichiwa Minnasan, Welcome to Episode 234 of the podcast! We're on autopilot this week! But that doesn't mean I did not come empty-handed by rerunning one of my "Classic Smooth Tokyo Episodes" from this podcast from last year.
In this week's episode, Classic Smooth Tokyo Episode 234: My Housekeeper Nagisa-san
What if the cure for burnout was a 50-year-old housekeeper in an apron?
We rewind to TBS's cozy hit My Housekeeper Nagisa-san — where workaholic Mei hires super-housekeeper Nagisa-san and learns how to actually live.
We talk burnout, found family, perfectly folded towels, and why Nagisa-san is still the ultimate green flag.
Cozy comfort drama at its best. Enjoy this episode!!!
