Rina Kawaei Comments on Her Role:
"I felt that Nami is a very companionable and strong-minded woman. The characters in this drama are all quite strong (laughs). I think Nami is the character that is closest to the audience, even though many of the characters, including Eiji, have two sides to them.
When I read the script, I was so excited that I couldn't stop being on the edge of my seat, so I'm sure everyone who watches the drama will enjoy it to the very end. I would be happy if you could enjoy watching the drama while giving it a lot of thought!"
