Also been loosely watching the drama “Riso No Otoko~ The Ideal Man” starring Misako Renbutsu and Mina Fujii as two women going through the hoops and rings of romance as they make their way through a gaggle of guys in hopes of finding that one man who is truly for them!
Toko Komatsu (Renbutsu) is a hairdresser who is loved by her customers for her kind and caring ways.
One day she is visited by her friend Marisa Azumi (Fujii), a Literary Editor, who has a favor to ask: to make her introverted client look presentable for his first big writer’s award.
A practical Hikkikomori, writer Mitsuyasu (Masanobu Ando) doesn't see the need to get all dressed and cleaned up for an award, but he is won over by Toko’s positive attitude.
And so it is taht with a clip here and a cut there, Toko manages to deliver a spry and spiffy Mitsuyasu to the ceremony, just in time to accept his award! And along the way, he finds himself attracted to Toko….
Along the way Toko brushes with Keigo Shima (Ryosuke Mikata) , who happens to be a childhood friend of Toko’s. Keigo is an Editor working with Marisa and is delighted to see her at the ceremony. He tells Marisa that he and Toko are just friends, but you know when they say that, there’s a romance plot coming up…
There’s also a young art designer named Masami Takano (Toshiki Seto) working with the team who has a secret fancy for Marisa, and as the drama goes on, we will see how the five characters act and interact with each other in search of that “Special Someone”…
Been awhile since I've seen Mina Fujii in a starring role, and Misako renbutsu is always entertaining, we'll see where this one goes....
