About The Honest Realtor
Saichi Nagase is Tosaka Real Estate's top closer, famous for his slick tongue and a trail of signed deals behind him. His conniving approach seems second nature until a reckless disturbance at a construction site wakes up a bizarre curse: he can no longer tell a lie. Suddenly his practiced lies spill out and the truth lands with brutal bluntness in every negotiation. Clients bristle, colleagues groan, and the deals he relied on start to crumble around him. The show blends workplace satire with character driven comedy as Nagase scrambles to renegotiate credibility, handle tricky clients, and keep his career from grinding to a halt in the worst possible way.
Released in 2022, the series is the brainchild of Akira Otani, Takeshi Natsuhara and Mitsuhiro Mizuno. Tomohisa Yamashita anchors the cast as Saichi Nagase, supported by Haruka Fukuhara, Hayato Ichihara, Rika Izumi and Kana Kurashina in a tight ensemble that keeps the pace brisk throughout.
There are no widely reported box office figures for this TV series as it streams on television platforms rather than in cinemas. Box office data is not typically used to measure success for TV programs, and no numbers have been released.
As of now there are no major awards listed for The Honest Realtor. The show has drawn a notable cast and earned modest attention from audiences, but it has not secured nominations in the principal awards circles.
Reception so far seems mixed with a 6.0 out of 10 average from four votes. The show uses a premise about truth telling in a cutthroat business to probe ethics, reputation and the limits of persuasion. The dynamic among the cast, especially the tension between Saichi and those around him, provides both bite and humor and invites viewers to consider what honesty costs in a world built on deals.
