Aki looks like a very capable career woman on the surface but is the type to do everything for her boyfriend and yet always ends up with nothing. When she gets dumped, the common remark made by her ex-boyfriends is that she can survive without a man. As such, Aki can only pour out her true thoughts to her buddies and her pet cat. One day, Aki is transferred to a new department to work on a romance-related mobile app and has to approach scriptwriter Takayama Fumio (Eguchi Yosuke) for help. However, he has his own unique views on romance and an odd temperament thus he refuses Aki's offer. This sets them against each other but they gradually become interested in each other over time. Meanwhile, Moeko is actively searching for a marriage partner and meets Kurita Junichi (Tanihara Shosuke) who is the president of Aki's company and a well-known playboy. The two of them get involved in a romance tug-of-war to see who will have the upper hand in the end. Midori is a divorcee who has to support her three children.

Ryoko Shinohara to star in NTV drama Special

Shinohara Ryoko will be starring in the upcoming NTV drama SP "Ai wo kou koto" (Begging for love) which will be shown during winter this year. The drama SP which is based on the same-titled novel by Shimoda Harumi, describes the bond between mother and daughter and is Shinohara's first drama SP in seven and a half years and her first playing two characters.

Shinohara plays a mother named Toyoko who doesn't know how to love her daughter Terue and subjects the latter to physical abuse when she was a child. As a result, Terue was hungry for love but didn't know how to be loved. Years later, Terue grows up and has a daughter Migusa who is in senior high school when she reunites with her brother Takenori who was separated from her at birth. Due to the reunion, memories of her miserable childhood come flooding back. With the support of Migusa, Terue decides to head to Taiwan to look for her late father's grave and finds out the truth behind her mother's behaviour after meeting Toyoko there. The entire filming had been completed with parts of it done in Taiwan.

Prior to this drama SP, there was a movie version in 1998 starring Harada Mieko which had won eight awards including Best Movie and Best Leading Actress in the Nihon Academy Prize. Shinohara revealed that she had watched the movie and was so impressed by it so she had wanted to act in an adaptation of this novel one day if she had the chance. As such, when the offer came along, she was very happy and hopes that viewers will be touched by this drama. As for having to play two very different characters this time, Shinohara said that it was difficult but she found a lot of meaning and satisfaction in playing them. In particular, she liked playing Toyoko very much and would sometimes wonder if she can go back to playing her while she was acting as Terue. Shinohara also revealed that one reason which prompted her participation in this drama is the theme of child abuse and she wanted to make more people aware of this issue through this meaningful production.

Ryoko Shinohara to star in FujiTV 2017 Fall drama

Shinohara Ryoko will be starring in a FujiTV Autumn 2017 drama which begins its run from October in the Mondays 9pm timeslot.

The drama features Shinohara as the lead character Sato Tomoko who lives with her husband and only child attending nursery. When Tomoko was in senior high school, her parents disappeared one after another which led to her quitting school. She then switched jobs many times before deciding to live a serious life unlike her parents. Tomoko got married to her husband who she met at her part-time job but he continues to keep switching jobs as a freeter. As such, she has to chip in to the household finances by taking on part-time jobs. Unfortunately, she got fired when she rebelled against rules in her company. Now in her 40s without a decent education and qualifications, Tomoko becomes attracted to the prospect of becoming a city councilor after watching a feature on a corruption scandal and how much a city councilor earns. After conducting research on her chances of being elected are as high as over 80 percent, Tomoko decides to give it a shot despite being a greenhorn in politics and has no backing from a political party. Right from the start, she is faced with difficulties such as making her PR poster and writing her street rally speeches but with the help of her husband and fellow mothers at the nursery, Tomoko gradually begins her journey to stand for election. Her rival in the election Toudou Makoto will be played by Takahashi Issei who comes from a family of politicians and highly regarded to become a potential Prime Minister while Ishida Yuriko will play Hirata Kazumi whose child also attends the same nursery as Tomoko's and her biggest support who graduated from a top-notch university and was a reporter covering political news at a news agency.

With regard to playing a politician for the first time, Shinohara admitted that she does feel pressured but will tap on the support of everyone around her to make an entertaining drama. The producer also suggested that she can focus on showing how an ignorant housewife like Tomoko grows as a result of this journey rather than think about how to convey the difficult concepts in politics. Meanwhile, co-stars Ishida commented that she is very excited to work with Shinohara for the first time and hopes to see how she will play Tomoko and Takahashi also expressed his anticipation about working with his charming co-stars.
