Yonekura Ryoko's drama achieves the highest audience rating among commercial broadcasting dramas in this year

allkpop



On December 14, it was revealed that TV Asahi�s final episode serial drama �Doctor X ~Gekai Daimon Michiko~(aired December 13, 9PM), which stars actress Yonekura Ryoko (37), garnered this year�s highest audience rating at an average of 24.4%.

The drama, which stars Yonekura in the role of a freelance female surgeon, has averaged 19.1% audience rating across all 8 episodes, which makes it the top prime time drama of the year.� The final episode of the drama momentarily peaked at 29.9% at 10:01 PM.

Yonekura was grateful as she stated, �I am truly happy that many people � more than I could have ever imagined � tuned in to the drama,� and also commented that, �I hope that the viewers and Daimon Michiko will be able to meet again.�� (Ratings are based off Video Research�s data for the Kanto region.)

The script for the drama was written by Nakazono Miho (53), who also wrote TV Asahi drama �Nasake no Onna ~Kokuzeikyoku Sasatsukan~� (2010) that also starred Yonekura.

At a pre-broadcast press conference, Yonekura spoke about the difficulties in using medical jargon with, �Until now, I have been using my physical body, but this time, I had to use my brain.� I could not stop the slight yawn", however, when it seems like the high ratings made her in high spirits due to the high ratings.� She appeared fulfilled as she talked about wrapping up filming with, �It was too short, and flew so fast. �Everyday, I was able to learn something.�

Then there is the matter of the exciting catchphrase.� Just as Matsushima Nanako had popularized the phrase �Shochi shimashita� (�I admit it.�) in �Kaseifu no Mita,� Yonekura has popularized the catchprase �Watshi, shippai shinai no de� (�Because I do not fail.�)

Like her character�s catchphrase, Yonekura has not failed in TV Asahi�s dramas in which she starred � �Kurokawa no Techo� (2004) garnered 17.6% in ratings, �Kemonomichi� (2006) garnered 16.4% in ratings, "Koshonin" (2008) garnered 16.7% in views, and �Nasake no Onna� garnered 17.6% in ratings.

It seems that Yonekura�s appearance in the confirmed sequel will also �not fail� audiences.
