It has been revealed that Yomiuri TV will start a new time slot called "Drama no Shurara" in April, which will broadcast short dramas every Wednesday and Sunday late at night. The short vertical dramas, which are popular on smartphones, especially among young people, will be "re-imported" to terrestrial broadcasting, and will be broadcast in a vertical format, which is unusual for terrestrial broadcasting.
The first installment will be "Nightmare Adultery Hot Springs - You Are Under Surveillance," produced by group company ytv Media Design and ranked number one on the short drama platform BUMP, with clips of the show having been viewed over 6 million times on TikTok. It will be aired from 1:36 a.m. on April 2nd.
Set in a hot spring inn in Yugawara, Takuya Nakayama (Masato Wada) is on a trip with his lover Aoi Hayashibara (Asuka Kishi) when, for some reason, he spots his wife Riko Nakayama (Ami Satsukawa). Meanwhile, Riko is traveling with Junpei Sasaki (Kairi Shimizu), a public security agent. Riko has been married for 10 years and has a secret that she has been hiding from her husband... This is the story.
In the future, they are also planning to make a live-action adaptation of the manga published in "Manga no Shurara", which is distributed on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram.
