Episode synopsis
Drama "Xuan Tackles Japan!" It is springtime and a woman is on a plane flying to Japan. She is Xuan, who left Vietnam to work at a hotel in Japan. After the plane lands, she looks for her supervisor waiting at the airport. That is when a foreign boy suddenly hands her a key holder. She eventually meets her supervisor Ota and Rei, the chef, and they head to the hotel. Xuan, however, cannot keep up a conversation with them. She gives up and tries to sleep. At that moment, time stops and, to her surprise, the key holder she received at the airport starts moving and talking. It suggests Xuan should ask questions and let the other person talk. Xuan is able to enjoy talking with Ota and Rei and she finally arrives at the hotel. "Welcome to My Japan!" focuses on the life of Htet Shein Win from Myanmar, who works at a resort hotel in Okinawa Prefecture!
