Yukihira Risa, who has become a hot topic as a "beautiful ring girl," will star in the short vertical drama "Picked up by God's Tongue - My Next Husband is a Divine Chef Worth Over 100 Million Yen," which will be streamed on DMM TV. She will play Endo Saya, a woman on the brink of disaster after being abandoned by her husband and kicked out of her workplace.
Saya Endo (Yukihira), who gave up her dream of becoming a chef and married Ichijo Shingo (Azuma Natsuki), renowned as the best chef in Japan, works as a waitress at the high-end restaurant where Shingo is the chef. However, one day, she witnesses him having an affair with her co-worker Nikaido Riko (Yoshida Akari), and is told that she is being divorced and fired. The person who offers the haggard Saya a rice ball is the genius chef Mizono Takumi (Nakano Atsushi), who once shared her dream in Florence. This will change Saya's life dramatically. The series began streaming exclusively on DMM TV on November 11th.
Yukihira commented, "Hello everyone, I'm Yukihira Risa, who plays Endo Saya. This is only my second attempt at a short drama, so I was very happy and nervous to be asked to play the lead role. I was able to complete the filming until the last day, moved by the protagonist's feelings as she endures harassment from her lover and ex-husband but moves forward towards a brighter future."
"I think it's a wonderful production thanks to the acting skills of my co-stars and the support of the staff. With scenes where we actually cook and plate the food for customers to eat, and Takumi's talkative passion for food, it really felt like the restaurant really existed, and I was excited every day. Please be sure to watch it!"
