Aim for the Bouquet

ブーケをねらえ!   부케를 노려라   瞄準!! 新娘捧花大搶奪!

Aim for the Bouquet asks the question "would you want to marry the mystery celebrity?"

After each question, the voting audience decides whether they approve of the celebrity's answer. While the viewer can see and hear the celebrity guest, the celebrity's identity is electronically hidden from the voting audience who, uninfluenced by any preconception, form their opinions based only on the answers given. Conflict, humor and surprising results build to the dramatic conclusion.

She quits her job, terminates her condo lease, breaks off all contact with her boyfriend and everyone she knows, and goes on a solitary search to discover the “freedom” to enjoy her own life. This even means undoing her straight perm and letting her natural curly hair flow, something she’s always harbored a complex about.

She meets the man living next door, someone she might define as “too free” and re-encounters her boyfriend, from whom she’d hoped to escape.
