From an episode of dispatched employees without any rights protection to Ginza's youngest mother, Sang, who pocketed the bank's 180 million yen (about 11 million yuan) and let the bank leaders sign and promise not to pursue it, this "evil girl" Japanese drama that relies on a black leather manual to hang up, are you chasing this month?
The Handbook of Black Leather is an adaptation of Kiyoharu Matsumoto's novel of the same name published in 1980 and has been remade several times since 1982, with the 2017 edition starring Takei as its fifth edition.

1st generation Yoko Yamamoto (1982)
Yoko Yamamoto was a white-collar worker before becoming an actress, and when she starred in "Black Leather Handbook", she was 40 years old, and her experienced play of bank clerk Motoko Haraguchi was full of OL, and after becoming a Ginza mother, Kuwa, she was even more stunning, with an average rating of 17.4%.

4th Generation Ryoko Yonekura (2004)
The 13-year-old version is still fresh in my memory, and it is the masterpiece of Ryoko Yonekura's transformation from model to actress.
Ryoko Yonekura successfully created three different feelings: a bank clerk with a sleek and withdrawn personality, a sitting lady who is looking forward to life, and a compelling Ginza mother, Sang.

The 5th Saki Takei (2017)
Takei, who is also a model with Ryoko Yonekura, is only 23 years old when he challenges this extremely difficult role.
For many people, 23 years old is the age of wearing a newly bought women's clothes or a student in the workplace, the age when they are still full of doubts about work and the meaning of life, and the age when it is not enough to sleep eight hours a day but have to get up early to go to work.
But Takei, who was born on Christmas Day 1993, is currently full of shining points in his life.

Don't say anything, please accept the small editor's knee!
~04 edition VS 17 edition~
TV series adapted from novels can never escape controversy in filming - each reader has his own understanding and stereotyping of the characters in the book, and the choice of plot is even more difficult to reconcile; TV series remakes are more likely to fall into the whirlpool of public opinion - once the previous work is a classic masterpiece, the remake does not show the ability to look at the family, it is to seek its own death.
Ryoko Yonekura's image of Motoko Haraguchi in 2004 won the recognition of the majority of the audience, and the ratings were very high, so when the news came out that Takei Asahi was the new lead actor, some Japanese netizens said: "I still like Ryoko Yonekura's version, Takei's version of the "Black Leather Manual" is not to see it." ”
In the 04 edition of the Black Leather Handbook, Motoko Haraguchi, played by Ryoko Yonekura, is a taciturn and humble official bank clerk.
Under the poisonous sun
Riding a bicycle uphill in desperation
I have only 400,000 yen in savings for ten years of work
(Equivalent to more than 30,000 yuan in that year)
Being chewed on the root of the tongue by a colleague behind his back
No friends in the bank
I am not a loving person myself
Doesn't help kids pick up balls
So he was scolded by the bear child
After being scolded, Motoko was indifferent, and came to a group of shots smoking in the sweltering heat, hot and unbearable, and the heart was like ashes.
In 2004, 10 years after the bursting of Japan's bubble economy, the economy was depressed, and it was fortunate that the banks did not fail. In this economic environment, it is difficult for male regular employees in Male Society to have a head start, let alone an ordinary female employee like Motoko Haraguchi?
In desperation, Motoko Haraguchi takes aim at the bank's improper transaction handle with customers — the huge amount of money that the bank helps customers evade taxes.
In contrast, the 2017 edition of the process adds a new era element.
Motoko Haraguchi is a dispatch employee, the direct contract is not the bank but the dispatch company, and the bank signed a contract to start from the month, the welfare insurance of the regular staff is not, whether the bank renews the contract, whether there is compensation after the contract is broken, the dispatched employee is completely in a passive state, which is a major "magic weapon" for the enterprise to reduce labor costs.
Even if Yuan Zi usually works diligently and has excellent performance, he can't hide the fate of helping Miss Qianjin wipe her ass and being a scapegoat without any compensation.
Compared with the motive of Motoko in the 04 version in order to change a stagnant living state, the 17th edition gives Motoko a more appropriate reason for committing a crime - revenge.
In this treatment, Xiaobian believes that the two have their own advantages. This money was originally unclear, for his own selfish involvement of the guilty party bank leader, Yonekura Ryoko freely deduced the fierce but annoying Motoko, while takei Played by Takei Misaki, who regards wealth as fate, has a fuller motive for committing the crime, so that the sloppy bank leader has a feeling of "self-inflicted".
The contrast between Motoko's daytime and nighttime work appearance is also a major highlight of this drama. At this point, Xiaobian thinks that Ryoko Yonekura is slightly better - the opening only lightly draws the eyebrows, almost showing a plain face, the bangs that can't stop the ears after the hair is tied up, and the bangs that can't stop in front of the forehead, coupled with a pair of unlovable expressions, Ryoko sister successfully shaped a simple to the old bank clerk Motoko Haraguchi.
On the night of the bright red and green Ginza, Sister Liangzi transformed into a sitting lady who looked forward to the glory of life - tall figure, proud upper circumference, exquisite facial features slightly greased powder immediately shined, and the mature charm of the hands and feet was raised, which was in stark contrast to the bank clerk who was loveless during the day.
In contrast, the fifth girl, Takei Sakura, opens with a spirited professional makeup: neat thick eyebrows, eyeliner, well-defined eyelashes, and coral-colored lip makeup, which is quite compatible with the temperament of the dispatched employees who work diligently and are afraid of doing something wrong and being terminated by the bank, but it also narrows the contrast with the night's desk work - originally a beauty, but only more charming at night.
However, the five girls took advantage of their young age and sweet appearance to add a character element of playing a pig and eating a tiger to Motoko, enriching the character level and also a surprise. For example, the shy dodge when the director of the old ghost beauty salon takes the opportunity to approach,
He was surprised when he ran to the lake to pick up golf balls, got his pants and socks wet, and was told that the rules could actually be played again.
In addition to the heroine, the new version of the supporting role arrangement is also very surprising. The mistress of the director of the beauty salon is Junko Takahata, who played President Li of China in Naomi and Kanako, starring Ryoko Hiromi and Yuki Uchida, and won the 2016 Japanese Drama Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, and played Ueto-sai's mother-in-law in the ethics drama "Daytime".
In the 17th edition of the Black Leather Handbook, Nakaoka Ichiko, the mistress played by Junko Takahata, is a stupid woman who is headed by the dean and silently gives everything for the dean without the identity of the main room. The dean, who was willing to be squeezed out of 200 million yen (about 12 million yuan) by Bozi, turned back and was put together by Motoko and Ichiko, and returned home discouraged and pointed at Ichiko and scolded. Ichiko was so motherly that she couldn't bear to give back the 10 million yen (about 610,000 yuan) of the pension that Motoko had helped her get back, and asked her to give it back to the dean, and also delivered a women's speech by the way.
Xiaobian very much agrees with her view that "the skin and meat business is like living in a sandcastle, and a big wave will be destroyed in the blink of an eye" (both men and women, as a person, you must clean yourself and love yourself!). ）。 But sadly, she could see that the little girl who had betrayed her hue was eating youth rice, but she wishfully thought that the dean was truly in love with her, and did not recognize that she was also the one who lived in the sandcastle.
Another supporting actress, Played by Nakari Isha, Isa Yamada, is a prodigal girl who originally ignored her feelings in the 04 version, and in the 17th version, the screenwriters treated her as Motoko's dispatched little friend, originally a well-behaved and cute little girl.
After being taken into the night circle by Yuanzi, he fell into the daydream of a drunken gold fan, earned money by selling hue, and was ungrateful and anti-general Yuanzi yijun, which was more than the 04 version of the book, which made people want to slap and wake up this little bitch! This contrast makes people more curious about the next tearing plot.
In general, in addition to the plot of the heroine's opening and hanging, this drama is a bloody reality -
Miss Qianjin went through the back door and made the mistake of the senior management to pick a dismissal without compensation to send an employee to face the crime and dismiss;
On my birthday, I want to eat a good meal and can't bear to spend money, go to the cheap sushi restaurant in front of the long queue for 45 minutes, and finally sit down to eat a plate to count a sum of money;
After withdrawing money from the ATM, he was targeted by gangsters, and the money-hungry heroine chased after him, if it were not for the fact that the protagonist aura had a male protagonist to save each other in time, how could he beat 2 big men;
After giving people a hard-earned mistress for 30 years, they think they are true love, but the other party breaks off relations with you like a change of clothes.
Like "Naoki Hanzawa", the protagonist of kaihang is only to comfort the ordinary people who are struggling in life, the big happy people who challenge the authority in the TV set, the drunken gold fans after the counterattack, you and I know that it is a dream of Huang Liang, why should it be more true?
Finally, I would like to complain about the chairman of the new version, thank you for contributing emoji materials for us.
