Takako plays Kyoko Hasumi, a once successful lawyer who gave up her career to get married and have raise her two kids. But when her prosecutor husband Soichiro (Toshiaki Karasawa) is accused of taking bribes (as well as infidelity) and is jailed, Kyoko must dust off her badge and go back to work to support her family.
Because of a connection to an old friend, fellow lawyer Masahiro Tada (Kotaro Koizumi), she is taken on probation with a his law firm Kamiyama & Tada run by the stoic Yoshie Kamiyama (Chikako Kaku).
Once there, Kyoko is immediately put on a case regarding slander against a client, and goes up against the charismatic (Tatsuya Takeda) who insists his accusations is based on police info and intends to counter-sue.
With the help of Tada and a crackerjack investigative team including Kotaro Asahi (Takumi Kitamura) and the awesome Michiru Madaoka (Kiko Mizuhara), they work to get to the bottom of things and bring the truth to light.
In the meantime Kyoko’s husband is having his own problems to deal with with a bunch of unscrupulous former colleagues determined to see that he is convicted of his alleged crimes. But he insists he is innocent and despite their interrogations, he holds out.
Seems like a decent enough drama to check in on every week, and I particularly love the dynamic between Takako Tokiwa and Kiko Mizuhara; when the two of them team up to investigate, it makes me wish the whole show was based around them!
Will be continuing on with this series!
