The Sunday 10pm drama "Error" (ABC TV/TV Asahi, Sundays at 10:15 PM), starring actresses Mei Hata and Mirai Shida, will begin airing on April 12th. The two, both former child actors with over 20 years of experience in the industry, will be co-starring in a drama for the first time. The story will be about "atonement" and "forgiveness" between two people who should never have met: one who has made an irreparable mistake and the other who suffers because of that mistake.
This is an original script by Sakiko Yashiro, who was selected for the NHK-established script development team "WDR Project" and made her debut with the NHK drama "30 Million" (2024). It is a human suspense story in which Yume Nakata (Hata), who caused the death of a certain woman, and Mio Osako (Shida), the only daughter of the deceased woman, develop a friendship without knowing the truth, and are eventually torn between guilt and friendship.
Yume's senior colleague and boyfriend, Kenji Sakuma, is played by Ryusei Fujii of the popular group "WEST."; Mio's mother, Misato Osako, who died in a fall two months ago, is played by Ikue Sakakibara; the detective in charge of Misato's death, Takahiko Endo, is played by Yoshinori Okada; and Yume's mother, Chihiro Nakata, with whom she has a terrible relationship, is played by Chiaki Kuriyama. Each of the four has an "error" (mistake) that they can't tell anyone about, and these will greatly affect Yume and Mio's lives.
The subtitle of the first episode is "A Push." Since "that day," Mio has been suffering from the death of her mother, Misato. Detective Endo, who is in charge of the case, believes it is highly likely that Misato took her own life, but there is no suicide note, and the motive remains unknown. Furthermore, Mio learns that a man who was present at the scene of Misato's death is in critical condition, but she is unable to find the words to apologize and cannot accept the reality.
To make matters worse, Mio is kicked out of her apartment because she is "the perpetrator's daughter." Just then, Yume, who appears as a mover, extends a helping hand to Mio. In her hand, for some reason, is Misato's suicide note, which Mio had been longing for.
