MAIN CAST:
Keito Kimura as Satoshi Onoe
Keito Kimura Comments:
My name is Keito Kimura and I play the role of Satoshi Onoe!
When I was offered the part, I said "I'd love to play it!"
I said it immediately!
There was a lot of pressure since I was playing the lead role, but I was determined to seize the opportunity and went into the shoot with a lot of energy!
After reading the original story and script, I fell in love with the character of Onoe even more.
I hope this drama will reach many people and be loved by them!
Jyutaro Yamanaka as Motoharu Kaburagi
Jyutaro Yamanaka Comments:
I am Jutaro Yamanaka playing the role of Kaburagi Motoharu.
When I was told about the role, I let out a loud voice!
I was surprised and at the same time excited and fired up at the same time.
I had read and enjoyed the original story, and I was looking forward to seeing how I could make this film with Kimura Keito, even before we started cranking.
We talked a lot together to deliver a great film, and I feel that we were able to carefully create it, and I am truly happy to have Keito as my partner.
I hope everyone enjoys the special atmosphere of the "Ken-Couple".
Tomoyuki Furumaya is both directing the series and writing the script. Miyako Hatano is also writing the script.
SuBLime releases the manga in English and describes the series as:
Satoshi Onoe takes pride in the good writing and ethical reporting he does in his job at a weekly magazine. But when the stakeout teams are shuffled around, he ends up being paired up with Motoharu Kaburagi, an ill-mannered photographer who is nothing but trouble. Onoe despises Kaburagi's haphazard and unethical reporting methods, and the two bicker constantly. But Onoe's annoyance begins to shift as he spends more time with Kaburagi, and his feelings turn a bit sweeter…
