Two days ago, Xiaobian took advantage of the weekend to watch the first episodes of several winter Japanese dramas this year, and continued to watch some episodes. This season's Japanese dramas have basically made full appearances, there are sequels and remakes and originals, and overall, the satisfaction is not high enough compared to the expectations of the Cast lineup. The following is a few dramas on the theme of legal affairs based on my personal interests, as well as extended recommendations for related themes and starring works.
Legal themes
▼ TBS Day Nine Drama "The Good Wife" (Chinese translated as "Proud Wife") premiered on January 13, 2019
▶ Starring: Tsuneko, Koizumi Kotaro, Mizuhara Kiko, Kitamura Takumi, Kako Kagori, Koichi Tsuto, Kotaro Yoshida, Toshiaki Kara
Japanese drama queen Takako Tokiwa starred in the TBS Sunday drama again after 19 years after 2000's "Beautiful Life". As can be seen from the translated name, this drama is a remake of the American drama "Proud Wife". In the first episode of the Japanese drama version, former lawyer Renomi Apricot, played by Takako Tokiwa, gave up her career as a defense lawyer in order to raise her children and turned to the family business. After 16 years, her husband (Toshiaki Karasawa), who is the head of the Tokyo District Inspection Special Search Department, was suddenly arrested by his peers, and while accused of accepting bribes, a photo of him and a young and beautiful reporter ("Xiaosan Professional Household" Xiangwu Saji) going to a hotel to open a room was revealed, and Apricot's husband was locked up in a detention center for investigation. The truth about her husband's arrest has yet to be revealed, but when Apricot goes to the detention center to visit her husband, he still admits to cheating, which makes Apricot say the following.
In Japan, where the rate of cheating among married men is high and the status of women is often criticized, the appearance of these lines shows that even if you have been a housewife for 16 years, you should not abandon the sense of female independence, which is also a manifestation of the spirit of "the good wife" proud wife. Thinking of the Wu Xiubo incident that has attracted much attention in the past two days, I hope that Wu Xiubo can also understand the "psychological crimes" he committed like the husband of the apricot, Wu Xiubo is also the father of two children, is the crime of cheating and extortion not worth mentioning?
In order to protect her children, Apricot chose to be strong, and she re-entered the workplace and was hired by the law firm where her intern era classmate (Koitaro Koizumi) worked. However, the outside world has posted the prejudice that her husband has cheated and been arrested, and the competition in the legal profession is also quite fierce (Kitamura Playing a competitor), and it is not easy to return to the peak of her work 16 years ago. In the face of a new workplace environment, the blood soul of Japanese dramas is burning.
Although the first episode of the Japanese drama version of "Proud Wife" is somewhat gentle in the performance of the case unfolding, it is a strong female sensational style, which is also a major sign of Japanese drama. The American version and the Japanese version, including the Korean version, have their own characteristics, friends who like this style are recommended to watch, at least this editor will continue to look at it.
▲ Starring works one sentence recommendation
EXM？ Takako Tokiwa's drama is also recommended, I am afraid that I can write 10 articles. Xiaobian only recommends the dramas that can be thought of immediately by hitting the brain door to everyone, or popular or unpopular, thank you for the good times brought to us by the queen of Japanese dramas.
▶In the summer of 1995, the Japanese drama "Tell Me To Love Me": In the play, Yuji Toyokawa plays a painter, who is affectionate and charming, and pure love classics.
▶Spring 1998 Japanese drama "Encounter": Waiting only for the most beautiful encounter, when Takako Tokiwa meets Masaharu Fukuyama.
▶In the winter of 2000, the Japanese drama "Beautiful Life": Do you still need to say how many people have become barbers because of Kimura Daijin?
▶2002 winter Japanese drama "Drifting Classroom": The opponent play is very infectious, Yosuke Wazuka's eyes are full of electricity, and Takayuki Yamada's acting skills are great at a young age.
▶2009 Dahe Drama "Heaven and Earth People": Only watched two Dahe Dramas, 2004's "New Selection Group", and this one.
▶2013 TBS winter Japanese drama "Iris": Takako Tokiwa does not play much in it, very delicate family drama, the father-son relationship between Seiyo Uchino and Ken Sato can cry blind.
▶2013 Japanese drama SP "The Joker Praying to the Moon": The original work of Kitagawa Yukiko, co-starred by Akisuke Tanihara, just like the ordinary story that happened around us.
▲Introduction to the relevant themes of this season
In the episodes that start airing this season, there are also two works on the theme of law, the following is a brief introduction, and this editor will probably chase one of them.
▼ Fuji Taimu 10 drama "Scandal Lawyer QUEEN" premiered on January 10, 2019
▶ Starring: Takeuchi Ryoko, Mizukawa Asami, Nakagawa Taishi, Hato Yuri.
This drama actually has a good lineup, watching the first episode, mainly about crisis public relations, which reminds the editor of the "God of Crisis" starring Shinichi Tsui and Eiri tota in 2015. But judging from the performance of the first episode, the handling of the scandal is a little too relaxed, and "God of Crisis" is too tense. At the pace should be a scandal per episode, depending on the audience of the next cameo actor, but from the ratings point of view, the effect seems to be less than ideal, the first episode 9.3%, the second episode fell to 5.8%. Takeuchi sister in recent years to take over the Japanese drama praise is not too high, Xiaobian feels that it should not find the right positioning, Takeuchi sister cheer ah.
▶ Yuko Takeuchi's work editor recommends "Strawberry Night" (above) co-starring with Hidetoshi Nishijima in 2012, a suspenseful criminal investigation drama with a very aura. Two medical dramas co-starring with Abe Hiroshi are also good: 2009's Triumph of the Bloodstained General and 2008's The Glory of Batista's Team. In addition, I highly recommend Takeuchi's sister 's 2008 performance with Shingo Katori in "The Flower Shop Without Roses", remember to prepare napkins, tears full of screens. The early Japanese dramas do not need me to say, Japanese drama fans are familiar with, 2004 and Kimura Daijin's "Lovers on the Ice", and 2002's harem drama "Lunch Queen".
▼ NTV Tu 10 drama "Innocence Wrongful Lawyer" premiered on January 19, 2019
▶ Starring: Kentaro Sakaguchi, Haruna Kawaguchi, Naoto Fujiki, Shuri, Tetsuta Sugimoto, Kotaro Shiba, Kaiko Ichikawa
This drama started relatively late, just the day before yesterday aired the first episode, starring Sakaguchi Little Angel and Naoto Fujiki, who was quite interested in this lineup so watched an episode. Regarding the plot to rehabilitate the wrongful convictions, it is inevitable to think of the two seasons of "99.9: Criminal Lawyer" starring Jun Matsumoto, the theme is very similar, but the style is completely different. "99.9" has a very good rating as a hit drama, in addition to teruyuki Kagawa' ace supporting role, the first season of Eikura Nana and the second season of Kimura Fumino are very popular. The atmosphere of the whole play is relaxed, and the gag will mess up the prosecutor.
The atmosphere of the drama "Wrongful Lawyer" is more serious from the beginning, although the lawyer played by Kentaro Sakaguchi is topped with a chicken nest head and is sloppyly dressed, but it does not change the overall atmosphere. Especially to the back of a group of lawyers and university professors (Naoto Fujiki) they do the experiment part, the scale of the experiment is very large, in the next episode trailer deliberately use "shock" to describe the experiment in the series, like a physical science drama. This is reminiscent of the classic Japanese drama "Detective Galileo" in Masaharu Fukuyama's classics, and it is also physicists who help solve the case, although Yukawa Gaku is helping the police, and Here Naoto is helping lawyers to do experiments. However, the first episode of "Wrongful Lawyer" seems to feel less coherent in the rhythm, and Yan Xiaobian, who is facing Sakaguchi Little Angel and Naoto Fujiki's uncle, will still follow up on another episode.
▶ Kentaro Sakaguchi's work was recommended by Kentaro Sakaguchi for two seasons of the Japanese drama "Obstetrician Hirotori", starring Tsuyoshi Ayano, in which Sakaguchi Little Angel played the neonatologist Shirakawa Ling. Plus, 2017's Tokyo Daydreamer and 2016's Remake! " should be more familiar. In terms of movies, the first to promote the 2015 award-winning "Sea Street Diary", and of course, the exclusive "Heroine Disqualification" exclusive to the licking screen.
Tomorrow will recommend other Japanese dramas of this season, interested in the pro welcome to pay attention to Oh.
