A young woman rushes home to Japan from New York City to be by her dying father's side. She convinces an attractive young man she meets on the plane to act as her boyfriend during her father's final moments. But when they arrive, they learn it was all a ruse to bring his daughter home. And during the same visit, she learns she is pregnant by her jerk ex-boyfriend back in NYC... Virgin Road is a wonderful older drama that blends a warm family story with a mature romance. There is a careful balance between the comedic masquerade of pretend lovers and the sensitive issues of pregnancy and impending single motherhood. The characters are mostly realistic, but things are kept interesting with over-protective silliness, petty jealousies, vengeful exes, and a deep, blossoming romance. The strong cast and carefully executed storyline more than make up for the age of the show. This emotional, thoughtful, romantic and fun story is a classic well worth watching.
