Thank you joeboygo and raven_frost for more of this "anticipated" drama. I was wondering who Mizukawa is playing as. It seems like it will be an interesting drama. cheers

The show's premise has the makings of a vey complex and fascinating love triangle. I have a hunch that the writers intend to add their own twist to the usual menage between one man and two women by reversing the gender roles between Ueno Juri and Eita. Her occupation is as butch as his is fey, and the phrase "unmentionable burden in her heart" has the L-word written all over it.

So in one house there live a bull dyke who regularly dresses in racing leather, a sissy who probably colors his own hair, and a battered woman whose disenchantment with traditional male+female romance may leave her open to exploring more (ahem) unorthodox relationship paradigms. The prospect of any kind of sexual tension between Masami Nagasawa and Ueno Juri would make this the must-see show of the season. Merciful drama gods, please make it so.


Well done joeboygo, you have raised my expectations of this drama so high that the actual one cannot possibly meet them Tongue

But seriously, I always welcome more experimental and edgy stuff in Japanese dramas, so long as they're well-written and engaging. This sort of psychological drama is just the kind of thing that hardly gets done. I'm thinking Yume no California, but more realistic; probably something with a Nozawa Hisashi or Nojima Shinji touch. Can Asano Taeko (Kamisama, mou sukoshi dake; Love 2000; the Ooku series) do it?

Anyhow, even with what we know of the drama, this seems like a good chance for Nagasawa Masami to prove her acting chops by playing a 'damaged' character. (Not counting the one in Sekachuu.) Nishikido too, since he usually plays the nice boyfriend.

P.S. What could the title mean? Whistling

Ryo-chan plays the role of Shimura? Does that mean he will play a bad guy?
I can't imagine how he will be Crying
Anyway, i hope that he will do his job well ^^, even if that's mean his role will be hated by everybody... pale

I don't necessarily think so. Laugh What raven_frost told us that:

Nishikido Ryo plays a guy with a dual nature. He's a good young man working at child welfare but also has the tendency to behave violently towards his girlfriend.


But we have to wait and see... Big Smile Hopefully we don't hate his character though.

I just heard about this I'm so excited!! Kinda like an odd Nodame Cantabile reunion plus Masami. hahaha I am a big Eita fan though, so I'm excited to see how he will do. Ueno Juri, I think will be really good. I've read she is actually an athletic person.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Visually, it's all coming together quite well. Nagasawa Masami's hair says "[b]eat me" while Ueno Juri's says "vagitarian." With matching outfits to boot! And what's this? Were they on a shopping date? A shot of the two holding hands after Ueno pays the bill would have been nice. Very nice.

If there ever was a dorama that merited a doujinshi, this would be it.
