The Bubble(2001)

The Bubble is a Japanese drama series set during the 1980s economic boom, when fortunes could be made by those bold enough to seize them. Tetsuya and Tomoyo, two ambitious young professionals, enter the high-stakes world of finance after meeting Okitsu, a self-made billionaire who becomes their unlikely mentor. But Okitsu has darker motives than profit—he's orchestrating an elaborate revenge scheme against Kurihara, a ruthless financier whose only vulnerability is his daughter. As the three navigate Tokyo's glittering money game, their ambitions collide with deception, greed, and dangerous secrets. What begins as a financial education spirals into a deadly game of wits where the stakes extend far beyond wealth.
