The story revolves around a young woman named Mei, who was rescued as a young girl by someone calling himself her "butler." With only a vague memory, though, the experience seems like just a dream. But one day, after her parents' accidental death, he appears: Rihito comes from a line of outstanding butlers, and he has been appointed to serve her! Now her ordinary life has completely flipped, as she discovers that she's actually the heiress to a fortune, and is forced to transfer to St. Lucia Girls' Academy, where all the students have butlers!

Proposal Daisakusen Synopsis, Story, and Preview :
Proposal Daisakusen is a touching, funny and beautiful romantic dorama about regret and having a 2nd chance to make things right. A young man Ken can only stand and watch as his childhood friend Rei is about to get married as he’s in love with her but he just hasn’t been able to tell Rei how he feels until a fairy gives him the chance to go back in time and change things around. Yamapi (Yamashita Tomohisa) and Masami Nagasawa are excellent in their roles but the chemistry and friendship of the main 5 characters are a joy to see. Apart from Abe Hiroshi, Yamapi is definitely one of my favourite Japanese male actors and he doesn’t disappoint in Proposal Daisakusen. He’s a gifted talented individual and Masami Nagasawa is delightful as his childhood friend Rei.
Iwase Ken and Yoshida Rei have been friends since elementary school. Ken, is obstinate and unskilled in love, but he fell long ago for the lively and cheerful, Rei. But Rei is about to get married to another man. While Ken and other friends from high-school attend the wedding ceremony, a fairy appears and sends Ken back in time, giving him a second chance to win the girl he loves.
