For those of you who just watched the summer Japanese drama, do you think this season is very unpleasant? It can be said that there is no work that can be called "Zhou Zhihuo". Fortunately, your disappointment should not last too long. The autumn Japanese drama that is about to kick off will be richer and more diverse, and the mix of actors will be more interesting. As for which ones to chase, you might as well take a look at the behind-the-scenes and behind-the-scenes composition and story outlines of the following episodes that will debut in prime time on Japanese screens in October. I believe at least one of them is your favorite.
"Killing for My Dear Me"
What to watch: adaptation of famous comics, double personality reversal
Director: Hiroaki Matsuyama ("No Words Reasoning", "Nighthawk Soaring in the Sky", "Nobunaga Concerto")
Screenwriter: Michijo Okada ("The Magic Forbidden by Detective Galileo", "Masquerade Hotel", "Deception Game")
Starring: Yamada Ryosuke Kawaei Li Naimon Waki Mai
Start date: October 5 (Wednesday) Fuji TV
Urashima Eiji, a college student with the motto "Just be happy", actually has a heavy family background - his father was the murderer of a serial murder case 15 years ago, and he also grew up with all kinds of infamy around him. . After finally ushering in a peaceful university life, Eiji found himself often cut off, completely unable to remember what happened in a period of time. It turned out that the second personality in his body gradually awakened. Coupled with the constant bizarre incidents around him, Eiji suspects that his second personality has committed murder without his knowledge.
This play is adapted from the best-selling manga of the same name created by Ito Shota and Jing Ryuichi. The evaluation of the original work is quite good, and the characters are complex and the plot settings have been reversed several times. This is an excellent material for adaptation into a film and television work. However, whether Yamada Ryosuke's image is suitable for playing the protagonist of the original work, I am afraid it is a matter of opinion.
"Penguin Pioneer! 》
Highlights: Nao and Tsutsumi's acting skills
Director: Hidemi Uchida ("Wicked Girl ~ Who Says Work Isn't Cool?", "Samurai Mom", "This is Love! Bad Boy and White Cane Girl")
Ogawa Tongren ("I thought I was going to die")
Screenwriter: Yoshiko Morishita ("Heaven and Hell", "Stepmother and Daughter's Blues")
Starring: Nao Tsutsumi Shinichi Suzuki Nobuyuki
Start date: October 5 (Wednesday) Nippon TV
Nao, who has good acting skills, starred in a TV series for the first time, playing a young woman who dares to challenge the established rules. She is also the mother of a five-year-old child, and her partner is Uncle Tsutsumi, who has no acting skills. opponent play.
The protagonist Kazuka Iwasaki played by Nao has no money, no home, and no job, and it can be said that he is falling to the lowest point in his life. She brought her son to a seaside town to make a living. Originally, she just wanted to fill her stomach, but because of her encounter with fisherman Hiro Kataoka played by Tsutsumi Shinichi, she boasted of "let's rebuild the fishing port with 10,000 yen". The local fishing community has set off an industrial revolution.
"Silent Snow"
What to watch: Handsome men and beautiful women are the most suitable for pure love
Director: Taiki Kazuma
Mai Takano ("Alive Cancer Specialist's Medical Records" "The Moon Next Door")
Shinada Shunsuke ("No Words Reasoning", "Lupin's Daughter", "Physiological Sauce")
Screenwriter: Mihisa Ikata ("On the Dance Floor")
Starring: Kawaguchi Haruna Meguro Ryoko Shinohara Ryoko Suzuka Yuoshi Natsuho
Start date: October 6 (Thursday) Fuji TV
The story of the reunion of first love after a long absence seems to be a pure love story that can never be finished in Japanese dramas. Aoba, played by Haruna Kawaguchi, and Sakura, played by Meguro, went to the same high school when they were students. The two became friends because of their common interest in music. However, the latter's farewell without saying goodbye brought the hazy goodwill between them to an abrupt end. Eight years later, the two unexpectedly meet again in Tokyo, but Aoba finds that Sakura's ears can barely hear...
Kawaguchi Haruna and Johnny Meguro, a member of Johnny's idol group Snow Man, are both very popular entertainers among young people. Such a combination of handsome men and women is at least pleasing to the eye to play Pure Love Story. However, the script of this play is purely original, and the screenwriter is still a newcomer, which makes people sweat for the development of the plot.
"Pray for the medical record book training doctor's puzzle-solving examination record"
What to watch: The collision of medical care and suspense
Director: Shunsuke Kariyama ("I just want to look at you", "This is love! Bad boy and girl with white cane")
Chihiro Ikeda ("Beautiful Inner Beauty Shirakawa", "Nagako Soyada and Three Ex-Husbands", "Princess Cabin")
Screenwriter: No Zhai
Starring: Tamamori Yuta Ikeda Yilai Sasatsu Yukiko Shiina Kihei
Start date: October 8 (Saturday) Nippon TV
This drama is adapted from the best-selling light novel series "Prayer's Medical Records" by the Japanese doctor writer Chinen Shikito. It can be said to be a new type that combines medical treatment and reasoning. This series is based on the patient's medical record book. Although Ryota Suwa, played by Yuta Yumori, is still an intern, but because of his unique ability to read other people's micro-expressions, he can often dig out the hidden feelings that the patient wants to hide. And the truth, so as to truly achieve the right medicine. If this adaptation can be successful, I believe that a series of works that integrate reasoning and medical treatment by Chinen Shihren will hopefully be put on the screen.
"PICU Children's Intensive Care Unit"
What to watch: The ninth month is the ninth month, and Miyuki Nakajima came out to sing
Director: Makoto Hirano ("Forensic Doctor Chaoyan", "Dawn 5 to 9", "Second Lesson of General Affairs")
Screenwriter: Kuramitsu Yasuko ("Life Buoy: More than Friends, Not Full of Derailment", "Miss Rinko Wants to Try")
Starring: Yoshizawa Ryo Yasuda Kenkimura Fumino Ikuta Erika Takanashi
Start date: October 10 (Monday) Fuji TV
Hokkaido, which is located in the north, has a vast territory and a low population density, is a region with relatively weak medical resources in Japan; among developed regions, Japan is also a country with a high child mortality rate. Combining these two real-world issues, this drama tells various stories that happened in the children's intensive care unit of a hospital in Hokkaido. PICU is the abbreviation of "Children's Intensive Care Unit", which is an ICU ward that provides care for children under the age of 15. Ryo Yoshizawa, who has recently gained momentum with the big river drama "Rush to the Blue Sky", played the role of the young paediatrician Takeshiro Shikoda for the first time in the Moon Nine Drama. The supporting actors include the former Nogizaka 46's Ikuta Erika, Yasuda Xian, Kimura Fumano , Takanashi Lin, etc., can be said to have good looks and good looks, and acting skills. In addition, Japanese national treasure singer Miyuki Nakajima sang the theme song "Together" for the play.
I don’t know if it is because we are now in the post-epidemic era, various problems in the medical system have received special attention, and the field of Japanese dramas, which always grasps the pulse of society, also shows signs of a sharp increase in medical care. There are three medical dramas in this season, including the nine dramas of the month, which will inevitably bury the hidden danger that the audience is getting tired of such topics.
"Be Your Flower"
What to watch: Living under the same roof with idols
Director: Tsuboi Toshio ("My Wife Becomes a Elementary School Student", "My Housekeeper Mr. Nagisa", "Nagi's New Life")
Screenwriter: Erika Yoshida ("Double", "Two People Who Can't Fall in Love", "When I'm a virgin at 30, it seems that I will become a magician")
Starring: Honda Takahashi Fumiya Takenaka Naoto Uchida Yukiko Minami Haruka
Air Date: October 18 (Tuesday) TBS
Nakamachi Asuka, played by Tsubasa Honda, was originally a high school teacher, but because of setbacks, she had to leave the school and became the administrator of a boys' dormitory. However, this dormitory was not inhabited by ordinary students, but by a seven-member male idol group. The most terrible thing is that the leader of this men's team is Zuo Shendan, a former student of Asuka. However, because of some things in the past, the two did not get along well...
How about it? Does this kind of story outline greatly satisfy the fantasies of many star-chasing sisters? TV dramas are originally tools for making dreams. It is not a problem that the plot is 108,000 miles away from reality. The problem is whether it can let the audience into the drama. In fact, Honda Wing, who is the heroine, has just crossed the threshold of 30 years old. It seems that she is going to talk about sister and brother love with her in the play is Takahashi Fumiya who stood out in the Japanese boys' high school beauty contest. The actual age difference between the two is nine years. Previously, Takahashi Fumiya played the role of Tomo Akira, a high school student who hides his unparalleled beauty in rustic dress in the drama "I'm on You", and his acting skills seem to have passed the test.
"Travel Nurse"
Highlights: Dispatching nurses is not easy
Director: Kanai Hiro ("What if I'm 30", "The Short Play Begins")
Osamu Katayama ("Housekeeper Santianyuan 5", "Soft Rice Boy", "Black Leather Handbook")
Yamada Isato ("Doctor X: Surgeon Daimon Michiko 7" "Doctor Y: Surgeon Kadi Hideki")
Screenwriter: Miho Nakazono ("Seven Secretaries", "Xixiang Temple", "Doctor X: Surgeon Michiko")
Starring: Okada Masao Nakai Takaichi Ichinao
Broadcast date: October 20 (Thursday) TV Asahi
Unlike general medical dramas that use a fixed hospital as the stage, "Traveling Nurse" takes a different approach, focusing on dispatched medical staff who are specially arranged to go to hospitals across Japan for support. Screenwriter Miho Nakazono wrote it. However, the protagonist this time is not a skilled doctor, but a nurse who bears the burden of humiliation, and is also a male nurse. Masao Okada plays Ayumi Nasuda, a young nurse who returned to Japan from the United States, and Takaichi Nakai plays the legendary nurse Jiugui Jing in the industry. The two form a partner and work together to solve each problem.
"Deception Hunter"
What to watch: Replacement and upgrade or fried rice?
Director: Kenta Tanaka ("Following Love to the End", "Naoki Hansawa")
Yasuo Ishii ("Veteran and Freshman" "Escape is Shameful But Useful")
Shunichi Hirano ("My Home", "Japan Sinks: The Man of Hope")
Screenwriter: Eriko Shinozaki ("The Good Wife", "Home on the Sakamichi")
Starring: Hirano Ziyao Kuroshima Yuuna Yamamoto Koji Funakoshi Eiichiro Miura Yukazu
Air Date: October 21st (Friday) TBS
I believe that many Japanese drama fans have seen the old version of "The Fraud Hunter" starring Tomohisa Yamashita and Maki Horikita. After a lapse of 16 years, TBS remade this old drama based on the comics, and recruited Hirano Ziyao from Johnny's popular idol group King & Prince to play the leading role, and partnered with the new morning drama heroine Kuroshima Yuuna. With the assistance of Funakoshi Eiichiro and Miura Yuhe, two veteran actors, it can be seen that the planning of this old bottle of new wine is very important.
"Fraud Hunter" takes Kurosaki, who was ruined by a fraud master when he was a teenager, and became a professional fraud master when he grew up. It revolves around his revenge and his relationship with Yoshikawa, a girl who wants to become a justice prosecutor. Back in the day, this Japanese drama set off a wave of chasing dramas, and was regarded as Yamashita Tomohisa's transformation from idol to actor. Yasuo Ishii and Shunichi Ishii in the behind-the-scenes team of this remake are the directors of the original version, and the screenwriter Eriko Shinozaki is also known for adapting other people's works. The only thing to worry about seems to be whether Hirano Ziyao can also support the black like his predecessors. Saki is such a complex and thoughtful character.
"Elpis-Hope, or Disaster-"
Highlights: Dagenren with Nagasawa Masami
Director: Dagenjin ("Co-starring NG", "Dream Eater", "Mahoro Station Front Side Story")
Screenwriter: Aya Watanabe ("About the crisis happening here and my favorability" "Jose and the tigers and fishes")
Starring: Masami Nagasawa Maeda Township Atsushi Suzuki Ryohei Miura Touko
Broadcast date: October 24 (Mon) Kansai TV
Asakawa Ena played by Masami Nagasawa was originally the prime-time anchor of the TV station, but because of the scandal, her position was not guaranteed and she was exiled to a late-night program. At this time, a serial murder of a girl caught her attention. She found that although the prisoner had been sentenced to death, there were still many doubts in the case itself. So, she joins hands with the young director Takuro Kishimoto (played by Maeda Goatoshi) and the seasoned reporter Saito Shoichi (played by Ryohei Suzuki) to try to figure out the truth of the incident.
This drama is Masami Nagasawa starring in a Japanese drama again after four and a half years. The suspenseful plot and the helm of the director Dagenjin, who has his own style, also raised expectations. Elpis in the title - Elpis comes from Greek mythology, which means hope. It is the only thing that did not fly out and was sealed when Pandora opened the magic box. Judging from the title and the plot, "Elpis-Hope, or Disaster-" seems to be a drama with a rather heavy theme, but Dagenjin's sense of loss should play a balancing role.
"Son of Astro Boy"
What to watch: Genius developers team up with time-honored toy dealers to beat the big game players
Director: Nobugo Okamoto ("This first love is pure fiction", "Do you want to heat up this love?" "Please don't pray to Buddha in the ward")
Daisuke Yamamuro ("Continuing Possible Love?" "My Family Story" "Dangerous Two")
Maiko Ouchi ("The Wife Becomes a Elementary School Student")
Dohu Youzhang ("Delicious Academy")
Screenwriter: Kanimori Banlijiang ("The Troubled Family", "A Person Who Falls in Love ~Stendhal's Love Theory~")
Starring: Yamazaki Kento Odakiri Ryo Kishii Yukino Matsushita Kohei
Start date: October (Sunday) TBS TV
Kento Yamazaki takes on the role of a genius game developer for the first time in TBS's Sunday Theater, the series is about him and the dying old toy manufacturer "Astro Boy" together to challenge the story of large capital enterprises. The cast also includes Yukino Kishii, who plays the only daughter of a time-honored toy manufacturer, and Kaohei Matsushita plays an important person who knows the protagonist's past and life experience.
It is worth mentioning that the role of the controller of a large capital enterprise was originally scheduled to be played by Teruyuki Kagawa, but due to his scandal of infringing on female public relations, the role was temporarily withdrawn. Oda Kirito, who came to the rescue, undoubtedly made many people look forward to this drama even more. However, I don't know if the filming has been delayed due to the change of angles, resulting in a delay in setting the broadcast date.
