I'll watch this dorama in spite of her....because Kudo Kankuro the scriptwriter is quite talented and has written other scripts I highly favor:

Kisarazu Cat's Eye, Tiger and Dragon, IWGP, Drugstore Girl.

Katori, Takeuchi to star in Fuji TV's 'Getsu 9'

Fuji TV's flagship "Getsu 9" drama time slot will feature SMAP member Shingo Katori in a starring role next season. The story, penned by popular screenwriter Shinji Nojima, is described as a "human love story." Katori's co-star will be actress Yuko Takeuchi.

First time with a lead rote? That kind of depends on the definition of 'lead' - she was the leading actress in Boku no Michi Aruku. But then in that drama there was only one leading role - that of the actor.

She was casted as 'Aio Mio' in the movie version of Ima, Ai ni Yukimasu. I hope this time round she doesn't end up dead... :sweat:
