Japanese drama series My Loser Husband is set to premier this month on Sony Pictures Television Networks’ Asian entertainment channel GEM simultaneously to its debut in Japan.
Beginning on Saturday 8 July, the series stars Ryo Nishikido from popular Johnny’s idol group Kanjani Eight and Mayu Matsuoka (pictured). Nishikido plays office worker Tsukasa Kobayashi, the ideal husband to his wife Sayaka, played by Matsuoka. He is good-looking, has an impressive CV and draws a large salary, but he is hiding a secret – he is incompetent at his job.

“The great response from previous same-time-as-Japan offerings has been extremely encouraging,” said Virginia Lim, senior vice president and head of content, production and marketing, Sony Pictures Television Networks, Asia. “There is strong demand for express content and we believe viewers will enjoy My Loser Husband with its stellar cast and appealing storyline without any delay from its telecast in Japan.”
