It has been revealed that actor Fuka Koshiba will make her first appearance in the TBS Sunday Theatre drama " The 19th medical record " (Sundays at 9pm) starring Jun Matsumoto in July. Koshiba will play a novice orthopedic surgeon who works at the same hospital as the main character, a general practitioner played by Matsumoto, with whom she will be acting for the first time.
The drama is based on Katsuhito Fujiya's manga " The 19th medical record Tokushige's Medical Examination" (Zenon Comics/Core Mix, currently being serialized). The drama is based on the theme of "general medicine," the 19th new field added to 18 specialties such as neurosurgery and ophthalmology, and is a human medical entertainment that depicts a general practitioner who not only examines illnesses but also lends a helping hand to the patient's way of life itself based on their mental and lifestyle background. The script is written by Aya Tsubota, who is known for the "Kounodori" series (TBS).
Takino Mizuki, played by Koshiba, is a novice doctor in her third year who became a specialist in orthopedic surgery after completing a two-year internship at Uotora General Hospital. She has a stronger sense of justice than most people, a straightforward personality, and dislikes crookedness and dishonesty. She has a strong desire to "treat each and every patient sincerely," but she is confronted with the reality that is thrust upon her, and she spends her days struggling with the gap between her ideals and reality. Meanwhile, one of the highlights of the show will be how her encounter with Tokushige Akira, a general practitioner played by Matsumoto, who comes to Uotora General Hospital, will affect Takino.
◇Comment from Fuka Koshiba
I am very happy to be participating in the Sunday Theatre for the first time. This was the first time I learned about the "general medicine department." Sometimes, it is the last resort for patients who have been passed around from one department to another without knowing the cause of their illness.
In this work, there are no doctors with special abilities or who cure patients with genius techniques. It is a story about a doctor who talks to his patients and faces them honestly and wholeheartedly. I will do my best to make it a wonderful work, so please look forward to it.
