Story following three generations of newsmakers,from the Grandfather Kan Wada (Danda Yasunori) who made his name working the old-time Newspapers...son Shuhei Wada (Sasaki Kuranosuke) who is the director of a flashy Television news program,
...and humble stepson Yuu Wada (Aiba Masaki) who has just started out writing slice-of-life pieces for a “buzzfeed” type online site.Honestly, I thought it was going to be how each generation has their own way of presenting stories and we would see how each type of medium has its own pros and cons. But almost immediately, it becomes the dad using his son to expose corruption in the government, in this case Dad Shuhei using pics his son took to accuse a politician of favoritism.Political corruption!! WHY does it always come down to this? I’m so TIRED of these stories ALWAYS ending with corrupt politicians, MAN, Can’t I watch a show with just a regular straight-forward storyline any more??? I mean, I get it here since Kuranosuke's supposed to be a scandal journalist, but if every episode's going to build to a corruption, then, I dunno...
Furthermore, they mention in passing that Yuu’s mother Rie (Eiko Koike) died suddenly when he was young, you just KNOW that’s going to be some huge, dark revelation of who is guilty for that and WHY. I just want shows with regular cases without all this extra side stuff where everything has to be part of a bigger evil thing.Too bad because I really enjoy the part where Yuu's at Buzz Topic News...Whenever he's there the show picks up and I find myself enjoying it and the colorful characters!Yoshinori Masakado as Shosei MitsumuraRen Ishikawa as Satomi Shima
Ryusuke Komakine as Goro Inda
They all seem so bright and carefree (I guess it’s supposed to juxtapose the father’s serious news program?) especially Ren Ishikawa as Satomi Shima who, even when covered up with a face mask, still looks drop dead gorgeous! Guess I'll stick around and see where this show goes.... Posted by zdorama @ zdoramaagain.blogspot.com
