Minwang is a Japanese science fiction comedy broadcast by TV Asahi, directed by Keita Honbashi, Kimura, daisuke Yamamoto, written by Nishio Okue and starring Kenichi Endo and Shoko Sugata, and premiered on July 24, 2015.
Adapted from Ikei Torun's work of the same name, the drama tells the story of a series of comedies that occur after the Japanese prime minister and his son exchange "souls".
The drama mainly tells the story of the representative of the Democratic Party, Taishan Muto (Kenichi Endo), a representative of the Democratic Party, who was finally elected as Japan's 100th prime minister. Muto is self-absorbed and tough, while his son Sho (Shoko Sugata), who is in college, is an out-and-out fool, and there is a stark contrast between father and son. One day, father and son had a "soul" exchange. In order to ensure the proper functioning of the government, Sho, whose soul enters his father's body, is dragged by his father and his aide Shigehira Kaihara (Issei Takahashi) to the position of prime minister. However, Xiang is not clear about the status quo, frequently missteps in his speeches in congress, and the father Taishan, who has always been serious, has repeatedly encountered a wall when conducting job search activities for his son, and it is difficult to understand that contemporary young people's culture makes him difficult. At the same time, there is a surprising inside story behind the exchange of "souls" between Taishan father and son.
Although the background of this drama is set in the serious place of the cabinet, it is essentially a comedy, and many plots and bridges are set up very nonsensically, which can easily see the end.
One of the highlights of this soul swap plot is that the two protagonists interpret each other's characters that are completely inconsistent with their own looks and plays. In the play, Muto Taishan is a middle-aged politician with lofty ambitions, while his son Xiang has a non-committal personality and has no interest in politics, which can be said to be a useless son. The contrast between Kenichi Endo, known as Uncle Crocodile, wants to play such an inept but cute young man, while Sugata shoki plays a rustic middle-aged man, and this contrast attracts many people to see them playing with each other.
But the biggest highlight of this drama is the prime minister's secretary, Behara, played by Takahashi. Thirty-five-year-old Takahashi brother also became popular on the Internet with this role, and later filmed a "Minwang Fanwai: Kaihara's Secretary and the Six Strange Guests" with Kaihara as the protagonist. The secretary brother looks good and has a cool mind, but in the face of the out-of-control Tarzan and Xiang can't help but roll their eyes, such a cold but cute character in an unexpected place, no one can interpret It better than Takahashi's life.
If you want to see a comedy full of terriers, you will definitely like this "King of the People".
