Fuji TV has officially announced their Thursday drama for the upcoming season! It's been revealed that the stars of the drama will be the trio of Eikura Nana (23), Kanno Miho (34), and ARATA (36) who are all involved in a complicated love triangle.

The drama is called "Mitsu no Aji ~ A Taste of Honey ~" and tells the love story of the country-bred 'Morimoto Naoko' (Eikura), who follows her first love, her uncle 'Ikesawa Masato' (ARATA) to a medical school in Tokyo. However, Masato is said to already have a girlfriend at his age, medical researcher 'Harada Aya' (Kanno), unfolding a complicated love triangle once Naoko runs into him again at the school.

"Mitsu no Aji" was penned by Oishi Shizuka, who already was responsible for the script of NHK's 'adultery' drama "Second Virgin", and is said to contain the same amount of spiciness.

Fuji TV's producer described the drama as the following, "It's going to be a love story 100% filled with sensuality and density, depicting the pain and agony of being in love."

Eikura commented, "I'm totally getting sucked in by the script right now. I hope it's going to turn into a drama that will get straight into your mind, just like when you are listening to calm and emotional music."

Kanno, being a fan of Oishi's works, is excited as well and said, "This time the theme is to express the frustration of a woman in her thirties who is getting her love snatched away by another woman. I hope that Eikura and I will stimulate each other in order to show you our best performances."

"Mitsu no Aji" will premiere on Wednesdays in October.
