It has been revealed that actors Megumi Hata and Mirai Shida will co-star in the April drama series "Error" (ABC TV/TV Asahi, Sundays at 10:15pm). The human suspense drama stars two young, talented actors, both with over 20 years of experience, and marks Hata's first lead role in a prime-time terrestrial TV drama.
The story follows Nakata Yume (Hata), who is tormented by guilt after causing the death of a certain woman, and her daughter Osako Mio (Shida), who has lost the will to live, who meet by chance and develop a friendship without knowing the truth... The original work was written by Yae Sakiko, who also wrote the NHK drama "30 Million," which won the Galaxy Award of the Month.
Hata's character, Yume, is "a woman who just makes mistakes." She's a genius at making people angry, and although she's cool in most situations, she's weak when it matters most. She makes the worst mistake of her life and is nearly crushed by guilt. Then she finds out that Mio is the daughter of a woman who has passed away... This is her role. "It's a character I've never played before, so I thought it would be a new challenge and a production that would allow me to show new horizons," she said.
Shida, who will be appearing in four consecutive seasons of the drama series and starring in two consecutive seasons, plays Mio, a "woman who lives her life so as not to make any mistakes." She is the only daughter of a deceased woman, and is driven to the brink of despair, unable to accept the reality that her mother would never have taken her own life. She feels disgust for Yume, who is the complete opposite of her, but for some reason becomes someone she can talk to frankly about her feelings... This is the role she plays. "The story progresses through conversation, so I think this will be a production that will place a lot of demands on the actor," she commented.
The drama series "Error" will air every Sunday at 10:15 p.m. starting April 12th.
