Production press conference of TBS Winter 2018 drama "Kimi ga kokoro ni sumitsuita"

The production press conference of TBS Winter 2018 drama "Kimi ga kokoro ni sumitsuita" was held on 13 January which was attended by Yoshioka Riho, Kiritani Kenta, Mukai Osamu, Seto Asaka, Ishibashi Anna, Nakamura An, Suzuki Sarina and Muro Tsuyoshi. The drama begins its run from 16 January in the Tuesdays 10pm timeslot and is based on the same-titled manga by Tendou Kirin. Yoshioka plays the lead character Ogawa Kyoko who is nicknamed Kyodoko and thinks very lowly of herself. She works in a lingerie manufacturer and is in charge of selecting and procuring materials to be used for the company's products. Although she is usually meek and timid, she becomes a changed person when it comes to her work. When she meets a manga editor Yoshizaki Kojiro (Kiritani), she is attracted to his honest and good personality immediately. However, Kyoko has a secret to hide as she used to be manipulated by her senior in university Hoshina Ren (Mukai) who was the first man to accept her despite her shortcomings. Although Hoshina has good looks and behaves like a nice guy, he had made Kyoko become so dependent on him and unable to leave him while always ordering her in a cruel manner to do his bidding. Kyoko is bent on putting her past behind her and start a relationship with Yoshizaki but the reunion with Hoshina at her company marks the start of her troubles. Hoshina is fixated on getting the old Kyoko back so that she will do his bidding and depend on him again and does everything possible to control her.
