Actor Mukai Osamu will be taking the lead role in�TBS' upcoming 'Nichiyou Gekijou' ('Sunday Theater')�drama, 'Summer Rescue ~Tenkuu no Shinryojo~'.
This will be Mukai's first lead role in a drama series for TBS, and it's also his first time playing a doctor. He joyfully said, "I can challenge myself to something new once again," and continued by expressing, "The first drama I starred in was on TBS, so I have special feelings for it. Through 'Nichiyou Gekijou', which has history and tradition, I want to make this a drama that will make people feel something."
The drama will be set in a small mountain clinic 2,000 meters above sea level. Mukai plays the role of 'Hayami Keigo', a handsome, young cardiac surgeon who has a bright future of working at a university hospital. However, his superior commands him to examine patients at a small clinic in the mountains during the summer. In a harsh environment cut off from modern medicine, Hayami returns to the origin of medicine, and undergoes a change.
Mukai, who has been receiving medical guidance, commented, "I've only received elementary guidance, so I still lack study. But I want to absorb a lot on set." He also shared that he actually met a doctor from the mountain clinic, "It's different from a well-equipped hospital. The difference and difficulty of examining patients in a special environment like the mountain. While hearing the stories, I felt the importance of examination according to different circumstances."
Chief producer Shimura Takashi explained his reason for choosing Mukai to play the lead role. He revealed, "Mukai-kun looks cool, but he's actually a passionate person. I thought he would match the drama's protagonist."
Regarding the drama, Shimura said, "In the strict environment of few medical devices and medicine, what does the doctor do to save the patients, what can the doctor do. The theme is the human's origin as doctors." He continued, "This summer, I will deliver a human drama that is simple, but will make you feel warmth."
TBS will air 'Summer Rescue ~Tenkuu no Shinryojo~' every Sunday night at 9:00 starting in July.
