Like the "Legend of the Moon and the Sun" circulating in Kagoshima Amami Oshima, it is the source of inspiration for the exchange of souls between criminal police officers and murderers. The script is an original story written by Yoshiko Morishita (50 years old), who is well known for TV dramas such as NHK's morning drama "Thank You for Your Hospitality" and Okawa Drama "Lady Lord Naoho". Following the TBS Japanese drama "Call for Love at the Center of the World", "Doctor Ren", "Blues of Stepmother and Daughter", Yoshiko Morishita once again collaborated with Haruka Ayase and director Yuichiro Shinagawa (49 years old).
