Inoue Mao to star in new NHK morning drama!

Popular actress, Inoue Mao, has been chosen as a heroine for a new morning drama on NHK called “Ohisama“, which will start on March 28th, 2011.  The  NHK’s morning dramas are drama series which have been running since 1961.  Each episode is 15 minutes long, but is broadcasted for 6 months.

There are many actresses who played heroines for NHK’s morning dramas and later became super stars.  Although Mao is already very popular, this drama may be able to make her even more popular!

According to Oricon style, Mao will play a girl over 14 years of her life, from 16-years-old to 30, and Mao said that this will be the last time she will wear a school uniform in dramas.

The shoot for the drama will start on October, mainly in Nagano prefecture.

    Oh… what a shame. Asadora is the downfall of a teenage actress. Maybe she feels it’s time for her to make more serious characters, and that’s why she takes this challenge
