Cast: Matsuyuki Yasuko, Ito
Atsushi, Endo Kenichi, Kitayama Hiromitsu and Mizuno Miki.
Hizaki Yuko (Matsuyuki
Yasuko) is social worker, working in a childcare center. Every day she deals
with children with abusive parents, and takes them away as a precaution
measure. Sometimes she manages to get the children completely away from the
parents, other times she tries to get the parents to ‘clean up their act’ so
that the children can return. Either way she never gets thanked or any
gratitude for her work, yet she is unable to let go. The situation at home
isn’t much easier as her Alzheimer struck father and gambling mother can’t seem
to function without her.
Sudo Shunsuke (Ito
Atsushi) is high school arts teacher with no interest in his students or their
lives, especially when they don’t seem to care for his existence – not that he
tries to change that. Being undeceives and quite bad with social situations he
after a one-night-stand ends up having a girlfriend who happens to be a
coworker whom he doesn’t care for – yet he is unable to break up with her.
These two meet at a police
station when a female student claims to have been raped by Sudo, and Hizaki
won’t let him defend himself – basically thinks he is a rapist. After the
allegation clear up the two get involved in another case where a family is set
to have committed ‘family suicide’, but police officer Mamihara Koki (Endo
Kenichi) believes they have been murdered – and both Sudo’s and Hizaki’s name
come up during the investigation…
Sorry for the long
into. I was wondering what to tell and what not to, and to be completely
honest, the less you know about the main story the better. This drama has a
very ‘dark’ and ‘dramatic’ tune, which kind of gave me the creeps. Not as in
noir, but as in the dark side of frustration. Like what people are capable off
and why they would either think that way or do it that way. I liked the way it
was going and how slow the pace was, it really was not action packed – rather
sad with a dim of light.
I started this because
of Ito Atsushi, I don’t know what it is but I like him. The rest of the cast
was quite good, though the younger cast overacted just a bit too much for my
taste.
All in all: a good
drama with a bit of ‘borderline to crazy’ feel.
