On June 24th, actress Kyoko Fukada appeared at the production announcement for the TBS Tuesday 10pm drama "First Love DOGs" (Tuesdays at 10pm), which will begin airing on July 1st, held in Tokyo.
Fukada, who plays the popular and big sister-type manager of a dog cafe, Miyase Yuka, said about her character, "She's an active woman who even takes the dogs that come to the store to the vets." She said that being on set with dogs was "very relaxing" and "It's a really fun set. We're always chatting."
Also appearing at the production announcement were Kiyohara Kaya, Ryo Narita, Na In-woo, Riku Hagiwara, Nadagi Takeshi, Noro Kayo, Fukada Kyoko, and Kishitani Goro.
This is a co-production between the TBS Drama Team and Korean production company STUDIO DRAGON, which has worked on hits such as "Crash Landing on You" and "Marry My Husband," with the script written by Arisa Kaneko and directed by Shingo Okamoto, Noh Young-seop, and Yoshihiro Ito. The love story begins when the two "pet dogs" of Aiko Hanamura, a cool lawyer who doesn't believe in love, played by Kiyohara, and Kai Shirasaki, a complicated veterinarian who can only love animals, played by Narita, fall in love. Na In-woo, a Korean actor who appeared in "Marry My Husband," will make his first appearance in a Japanese drama as a Korean heir with a secret who appears before the two.
