Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Matsu Takako was reportedly drawn to the project specifically for the complex female lawyer role, rare in Japanese legal dramas where women are typically assistants.
The Minato Mirai setting deliberately contrasts Yokohama's futuristic waterfront against the characters' inability to move forward emotionally.
