I just checked out the first 2 episodes of the anime and it is surprisingly good!! I thought its just another OL-salaryman office romance, but I was wrong!^^ I'm glad this is not a love/romance drama!! :woot: It focuses more on her work as the magazine journalist, the media/magazine world. Hmm...reminds me a bit of Tokiwa Takako's TABLOID^^

The stakeout episode is the best, so far, I've seen... I love that stakeout guy, Sugawara Fumiya! I wonder who will act his role... better be someone good and has good chemistry with Kanno Miho^^ I kinda imagine Tsutsumi Shinichi would be good...hehe... but, he's too old x) And that blonde rookie, reminds me immediately of Eita :hehe:

I think Kanno Miho will do a great job as Hiroko...the role fits her. And from the website, they make her looks exactly the same with Hiroko in the anime! :woot: Very cute!

Tengoku to Jigoku
Date: Fall 2007
Station: TV Asahi
Cast: Sato Koichi, Abe Hiroshi, Suzuki Kyoka
Synopsis: TV Asahi will remake Kurosawa Akira's 1963 film Tengoku to Jigoku. While the story will be set in modern day Otaru in Hokkaido instead of Yokohama, the drama will retain the same characters and storyline. The suspense drama portrays a kidnap-for ransom in which a chauffeur's son is kidnapped because he is mistaken for the son of an executive of a shoe manufacturer (Sato Koichi). The executive sacrifices his entire fortune to shoulder the ransom. The child is returned but the criminal flees with the money and the reputation of the police is put on the line as the search for the escaped criminal enfolds. Abe Hiroshi plays the police detective while Suzuki Kyoka plays Sato Koichi's wife.


SP airs on 8 September. Tsumabuki Satoshi plays the kidnapper.

Brrr, for some reason hate most of her work, she did Happy Mania and Flowers and Bees ne? Hataraki Man (Working Man) is most likely not for me, if the story is faithful to the manga that is. :sweat:

The setting sounds so familiar: privileged, good looking high school students.

Not my type of fare. With this, the entire Autumn Drama schedule has been announced.
