Hasegawa Hiroki to star in NTV spring 2013 drama "Kumo no Kaidan"

Hasegawa Hiroki will star in the NTV spring 2013 drama "Kumo no Kaidan" (The Cloud Stairs) which begins its run in April in the Wednesdays 10pm timeslot. The drama is based on the novel by Watanabe Junichi which features Hasegawa as Saburo, a man who becomes a doctor in a clinic on a faraway island without the appropriate qualifications. Hasegawa commented that although he feels happy about his first leading role, he's worried at the same time. Although Hasegawa had played doctor roles in the past, this is the first time he is playing a fake doctor so he would not need to do the surgery scenes perfectly like a real doctor. Saburo will also be caught in a love triangle with Akiko (Inamori Izumi) and the daughter of a hospital's owner also named Akiko who had come to the island for a self-discovery journey.
