Comments: The reason why I want to see this is mainly because of Takeuchi Yuko. It's been some time since her last appearance in a drama and she plays a not-so-ordinary type of woman again. I am guessing that it will be somewhat like what she played in Lunch no Joou where her character had a mysterious past. As for her pairing-up with Matsujun, although they are not that far in terms of age, Takeuchi has been paired with older leading men most of the time and the fact that she's already a mother in real-life makes me feel a bit uneasy about how they would look as a couple onscreen. The story sounds interesting as well with Matsujun playing a not-popular actor in a family of actors who falls for Takeuchi after they meet under a strange situation. Hope that this drama wouldn't turn out to be one which promises a lot but delivers little.
