Fukiishi Kazue to star in new drama "Barairo No Seisen"

allkpop



Actress Fukiishi Kazue (28) will play the lead role in the TV Asahi drama "Barairo no Seisen" beginning this summer. The drama is based on Koyama Yukari's popular manga of the same name, which is published in the girl's manga magazine "Kiss". The plot surrounds the life of a married woman with children, who discovers her husband being unfaithful and decides to reclaim her former beauty by becoming a model.

Fukiishi was excited to accept "such an unbelievable offer". She explained, "I feel a little bit of pressure, but when our producer told me, 'This role was written for you', I was really moved".

Fukiishi's character, Miki Makoto, enters the harsh modeling world at 30 years old, and runs into several obstacles on her journey to reclaim her former beauty. The story also includes some stereotypical cat fights common to the modeling world.

Koyama, the original manga's creator, said, "Fukiishi's no-nonsense, hardworking personality fits her role perfectly. I'm excited to see how she will play Makoto, the lazy, flabby housewife who transforms into a beautiful woman". Fukuishi expressed her enthusiasm for the project, saying, "I've taken Makoto's words to heart. She says, 'It's never to late to try something new'. I will do my best in playing the part of a housewife who finds her own path and starts a new life for herself. I feel lucky that there hasn't been a live version of this story yet".

It's been 13 years since Fukiishi's last drama for TV Asahi, which was "Bishojo Shinseki GAZER" in 1998. She commented, "It's very nice. I feel like the station is welcoming me back after a long absence".

The role of Makoto's husband will be played by Hasegawa Tomoharu.
