Karei Naru Ichizoku
Station: TBS
Time: TBA
Cast: Kimura Takuya
Synopsis: Kimutaku plays the charismatic eldest son, Teppei Manpyou, an executive managing director of a steel firm in this television adaptation of Toyoko Yamasaki's book of the same name. She is also the author behind Nyokei Kazoku and Shiroi Kyoto. The book depicts the conflicts within the Manpyou family, which is famous in Kansai's financial circles, amidst the tumultuous reorganisation of the financial industry of 1970s. Unlike the book, the eldest son, Teppei, and not the father, Daisuke, will be the central character of the story.
I heard somewhere that Kimura Takuya will be paired up with Suzuki Kyoka in this new dorama but i think it's still not confirmed yet.Let's wait and see.
p/s:I love suzuki kyoka and she is a good actress imo.

Haken no Hinkaku is a termed a timely drama that examines the differences in the treatment of a contract OL employed by a food manufacturer at a supermarket and regular employees, and the ways to overcome frictions in interpersonal relationships. It follows in the wake of an October report on labour conditions by the Labour Ministry, which showed that the proportion of regular employees to contract OLs had doubled compared to that 8 years ago, after a relaxation of regulations.
