After her mother took the blame for a tragic fire 13 years ago, Anzu plots revenge by working as a housekeeper under a pseudonym for her icy stepmother.
Burn the House Down is an engaging Japanese drama adapted from Fujisawa Moyashi’s manga Mitarai-ke, Enjou Suru, blending mystery, family secrets, and revenge across eight well-paced episodes. The story unfolds clearly, filled with tension, sharp twists, and a satisfying logic that keeps viewers invested. While Anzu’s vengeful plan initially feels unconvincing and her father’s weak-willed character can be frustrating, the evolving dynamic between Anzu and the enigmatic Makiko adds rich emotional depth. Kyoka Suzuki’s nuanced portrayal of Makiko — both poised and manipulative — shines throughout. Beyond the drama, the series delivers a powerful message about truth and deception: never believe everything you see on social media, for perfection often hides behind carefully constructed lies.
