We all know Tackey is a eunuch, so the 'having a baby' part won't be all that convincing. :hehe:

looks like this drama is a cross between Unfair and SP. TV Asahi is known for its detective/ suspense mystery dramas so i hope this one will be good.

More information on the drama.
Ryoko's character Reiko was originally from the Juvenile section and was transferred to the SIT which is part of the Metropolitan Police Department's 1st Criminal Investigation Division. She is isolated in the SIT which is a male-dominated world but puts her keen mind and unique negotiating ability to use when facing vicious criminals.
Jinnai Takanori plays the director of SIT; Takahashi Katsumi the director of the 1st Criminal Investigation Division; Kakei Toshio a negotiator who made his way up the ranks.

Oguri to star as poor student in NTV comedy
Popular actor Shun Oguri will star in NTV's "Binbou Danshi" this winter. He has played the lead male in a drama series before ("Hanazakari no Kimitachi e"), but this is his first time as the protagonist.
Oguri plays a poor but optimistic college student in this comical story. Because of his overly nice personality, he ends up taking on other people's debts and faces various challenges to pay off those debts.
The series premieres in January and will air on Tuesdays at 10:00pm. BENNIE K will sing the show's theme song, the first they have ever done for a television drama.
Kohinata to star in first drama series
Veteran actor Fumiyo Kohinata will star in a Fuji TV drama series next season, titled "Ashita no Kita Yoshio." While Kohinata is well-known for his many supporting roles, this is his first lead role in a drama series.
Based on the novel "Jiyu Shikei" by Masahiko Shimada, the drama's screenplay is written by Joji Iida ("Rasen," "Dragon Head"). Kohinata plays Yoshio Kita, a debt-laden man whose wife (Manami Konishi) has left him. With his close friend's death anniversary only 11 days away, Yoshio chooses that date for his own death.
Ryuhei Matsuda has also been cast in the drama as a scout for a cabaret club who aims to profit from Yoshio's insurance money.
The series premieres in January and will air on Tuesdays at 10:00pm.
Shun's drama has the same producer as Haken no Hinkaku, Hotaru no Hikari and anego so im expecting a good comedy series.. :woot:
