Omameda Towako and Her Three Ex-Husbands (大豆田とわ子と三人の元夫, Omameda Towako to Sannin no Motootto), or Towako Omameda and Her Three Ex-Husbands, also known by the abbreviation Mameo (まめ夫), is a Japanese television drama series. The official English title is My Dear Exes. It stars Takako Matsu as the titular character, a 40-year-old woman who, after three marriages that ended in divorce, is raising her teenage daughter while becoming the head of a construction company. Her attempts to succeed and live a fulfilled life only bring her closer to the antics of her ex-husbands (Ryuhei Matsuda, Akihiro Kakuta, Masaki Okada).[3][4]
Scripted by Yuji Sakamoto, who previously worked with Matsu and Matsuda on the drama Quartet, Omameda Towako was conceived as a "new kind of romantic comedy" and "chatty drama," where attention would be placed on the fast-flowing dialogue between actors.[5] Upon release, the show received acclaim for its story and performances. Although it received a low average viewership rating of 6.1% upon its initial airing on KTV,[6] a subsequent release on Netflix in Japan gave it a larger audience and success on social media.[7]
