Nagasaku plays wicked woman for new drama series

Tokyograph News · 05-28-2008, 07:21 AM

Actress Hiromi Nagasaku is taking on the starring role of a TV Asahi drama series titled "Yottsu no Uso," not to be confused with a similarly titled series ("Yu Aoi x Yottsu no Uso: Camouflage") that aired on WOWOW earlier this year.

The drama follows four women in the "around 40" generation, which has been recently gaining attention and is currently the central topic of a TBS drama series. Nagasaku plays Shifumi, an attractive woman who stole her classmate's boyfriend in high school, and despite criticism from others, she got married and had a child. However, she soon divorced and currently keeps a younger boyfriend.

The other main characters are three of Shifumi's former classmates: an ordinary housewife (Shinobu Terajima), a work-focused doctor (Reiko Takashima), and the housewife Minami (Michiko Hada). Minami is having an affair with Shifumi's ex-husband (the boyfriend Shifumi originally stole from her), but after she and the man die in a ferry accident, the various secrets and lies kept by the four women all come to light.

Shizuka Oishi is doing the screenwriting. Shooting will start early next month, as the show premieres in July. TV Asahi will air the drama at 9:00pm on Thursdays.
