The synopsis for the second episode (to be aired on April 20th) of the TBS Sunday Theatre drama "Caster" (Sundays at 9pm), starring actor Hiroshi Abe , has been released.
Set in the TV station "JBN" news program "NEWS GATE," this socially conscious entertainment series pursues the truth buried in the darkness and punishes evil. Abe plays the unconventional newscaster Shindo Soichi, while Nagano Mei plays Sakikubo Hana, the general director who struggles despite being bossed around by Shindo, and Michieda Shunsuke of " Naniwa Danshi " plays Mei Nagano Yusuke, a rookie AD with an aspiration to be a journalist who respects Shindo.
In the second episode, the police raid a sports bar in Roppongi, and employees and customers are arrested on suspicion of gambling. JBN panics when they find out that Japan's volleyball ace Nawa (Suzuki Takayuki) and "NEWS GATE" sub-caster Koike ( Kanato Tsukishiro), who were also there, have been voluntarily taken into custody. To make matters worse, E-Stream, upon learning of the commotion, announces that it will withdraw as the main sponsor of the International Volleyball Championship. If that happens, JBN, which hosts the international volleyball tournament, will incur a huge loss. It could also affect the program budget.
Shindo (Hiroshi Abe) goes to meet with Nishina (Miyagawa Ichirota), the president of e-Stream, and declares that he will prove Nawa's innocence.
Meanwhile, Koike, who was released, explained the situation directly on the program based on Shindo's advice. However, when Shindo asked her an unexpected question, she said something that no one had expected. And the sports gambling took an unexpected turn...
