The detective drama "Scarred Angel" (NTV), which aired from 1974 to 1975 and starred Kenichi Hagiwara and Yutaka Mizutani, will be featured on the NHK documentary program "Another Stories: Crossroads of Destiny" (NHK BS), which will be broadcast from 9:15 pm on July 30th.
The subtitle of the program on this day was "Angel with a Scar: Why did it become a legend?" This drama, which was broadcast in a time of boredom, later became known as a legend. Why? We will find out from the testimonies of those involved.
The drama "Angel with a Scar" began airing in 1974, when the era of rapid economic growth was beginning to show signs of slowing down. The excellent dialogue between the main character, Hagiwara, and his younger brother, Mizutani, and the portrayal of a free-spirited young man who doesn't hide his awkwardness or pathetic side, garnered support. However, the drama was initially criticized for its extreme sexual depictions, went over budget, and had low ratings. From there, it gradually gained attention, leading to a spectacular final episode that recorded high ratings.
Why "The Scarred Angel" became a legend is revealed through untold stories from Mizutani and other people involved...
