Description:

The Japanese political comedy drama Tamiou delivers a hilarious body-swap story. One day, the current Prime Minister of Japan, Muto Taizan, and his useless son, Sho, suddenly discover they have switched bodies. With no solution in sight, Sho must reluctantly represent his father in the Diet. Due to his history of skipping studies, Sho struggles with Diet deliberations, makes childish responses, and misreads kanji. However, his untainted, straightforward opinions surprisingly win over the public. Meanwhile, Taizan must navigate Sho's life as a university student seeking a job. Armed with a prime minister's brain, Taizan dominates job interviews with his overwhelming knowledge and debate skills, yet fails to secure the actual jobs. To make matters worse, Taizan is bewildered by several peculiar girls from Sho's past relationships. This chaotic situation leads to a funny yet heartwarming journey of mutual understanding.
