We end our month of June with a new avalanche of new drama this time, made in Japan! We make you discover, three dramas and an SP that will be under the sign of filiation, crime and good flesh. Good reading!
Yaneura no Koibito
屋根裏の恋人
We start with a family drama full of mystery. After the death of Ikou Saijo's stepfather, his mother-in-law Chizuko asks him to move into the house he left. Ikou Saijo, her husband Makoto and their two children then settled. At the housewarming party, Itsuki Seno, Ikou's ex-boyfriend, reappears after they broke up for eighteen years. He asks her to hide it, because of a usurer after him. She refuses and Itsuki disappears but he ends up settling down without her knowledge…
The story ready to smile, with the arrival of this ex a bit squatter. Will he make this stay-at-home mother succumb again in front of her husband and children? We at the editor want to know! The cast includes Hikari Ishida (Itazura na Kiss THE MOVIE Haisukuru hen), Masanobu Katsumura (Suisho no Kodo), Atsuko Takahata (Toki o Kakeru Shojo) and Tsubasa Imai (Chuushingura no Koi – Shijuhachi Nin Me no Chushin). A J-drama available on Fuji TV & Tokai TV. For more details, see the pages of both channels.
Yutori Desu ga Nani ka Junmai Ginjo Junjo hen
ゆとりですがなにか 純米吟醸純情編
We continue with this SP which is the continuation of the drama released last year and which resumes a year after this one. Masakazu is an ordinary salaryman who encounters difficulties in his work. But, also in his romantic relationship with his colleague, Akane, who knows ups and downs. Yamaji is a teacher but he is not respected by his students and even less by their parents. Maribu is a touter for shady bars. The paths of these three 29-year-olds, born in 1987, from the yutori generation, will cross by chance.
New immersion in a current subject: that of the place of these young thirty-somethings in Japanese society. If you liked the drama, don't miss this special! For others, we invite you to discover it if you had not seen it! Our three youngsters will be played again by, Masaki Okada (Chiisana Kyojin), Tori Matsuzaka (Perfect Crime) and Yuya Yagira (Frankenstein's Love). We look forward to seeing you on NTV for more details.
Criminal Syndrome (Season 2)
犯罪症候群 Season 2
We talked about it last April, here is the continuation of the drama after two short months of waiting. Mamoru Kabugari is a detective who works with Takashi Muto. Mamoru has no family, but he has a girlfriend. She is the youngest of Takashi's sisters, but she is killed. Mamoru tries to overcome his death but he will eventually fall into the vicious circle of revenge…
The first season focused on Takashi Muto, unlike the second. Following this story from the brother-in-law's point of view should appeal to those who saw the previous season! In addition, the characters remain the same and it is still quite rare to have two points of view in a drama like this. The cast includes Tetsuji Tamayama (Soshite, Dare mo Inaku Natta) and Shosuke Tanihara (Doctor Chousahan). For more information visit the official website of the WOWOW channel.
Kenji Miyazawa's Table
宮沢賢治の食卓
We end with a drama full of good feelings and that makes you hungry. In 1921, Kenji Miyazawa left his wealthy family and went to Tokyo for eight months. In late summer, Kenji receives a telegram from his family, concerned about his little sister Toshi. Worried, Kenji decides to return to his family. Unfortunately, this was a ploy since his father deceived him about his sister's health. Back home, Kenji decides to give his family a taste of korokke (potato croquettes) that he tasted in Tokyo. An important moment since he realizes that sharing his happiness is ideal for him. But for his little sister Toshi, he became a teacher in an agricultural school.
This short drama (five episodes), promises to be interesting because of its historical context that changes from current dramas. In addition, the plot seems much deeper than it seems! The characters will be played by Ryohei Suzuki (Zenigata Keibu), Anna Ishibashi (Nezumi, Edo wo Hashiru) and Mitsuru Hirata (Bakumatsu Gurume Bushimeshi!). For more information, visit the WOWOW website. A rich selection that gives you nothing but choice!
Novelties drama made in Japan varied that will undoubtedly brighten up your end of the day. We tell you very soon for other outings and we let you enjoy all these outings. Good viewing!
