Preview of Utsukushii Rinjin 美しい隣人 - Winter 2011

Title: Utsukushii Rinjin (The Beautiful Neighbour)
O.A. Start Date: 11 Jan 2011
Timeslot: Tuesdays, 10pm
Broadcast by: FujiTV / KTV
Official website: here
Theme song: Why? (Keep your head down) by TVSQ
Cast: Nakama Yukie, Dan Rei, Miura Rieko, Suzuki Sawa, Kobayashi Masahiro, Takachi Noboru, Fujii Mina, Moriyama Eiji, Watabe Atsuro, Souda Ippei, Kusabue Mitsuko

Story: Nakama Yukie plays Mayer Saki, a woman married to a foreigner, who moves to the house beside Yano Eriko (Dan Rei). Although Eriko feels initially that Saki is a beautiful and charming person to be with, her peaceful life is gradually falling into pieces as Saki tries to seduce Eriko's husband Shinji (Watabe Atsuro)...

Comments: It is a welcome change to see Nakama Yukie playing the baddie after her recent goody-two-shoes or comical roles. It's high time she proves that she can produce some solid acting and this drama might just give her the opportunity. Watabe Atsuro is also one key factor why I'm interested in this drama. I just hope that the suspense doesn't fall short and can be sustained till the end of the season.
