The popular daytime drama "Botan to Bara" (Peony and Rose), which aired in 2004 on Tokai TV and Fuji TV, has begun streaming on Netflix. The start of streaming was announced on Netflix Japan's Twitter (@NetflixJP) and Instagram (@netflixjp), and comments such as "This is a masterpiece" and "Wow, how nostalgic" were posted on social media.
Many viewers are reminiscing about the show, particularly the lines that became a hot topic, such as "You useless pig!" and "Call me Lady Kayo!", as well as the outrageous content, such as the bizarre dish "cowhide wallet steak" that she prepared for her cheating husband. Comments such as "It was shocking to me as a child," "Ozawa Shinju swinging a bat around," and "I might watch it, wallet steak" are pouring in.
"Peony and Rose" tells the story of how the fates of two half-sisters, who meet through a certain incident, become intricately intertwined. The older sister, Botan (Mayo), is played by Nanako Okochi, and the younger sister, Kayo, is played by Shinju Ozawa.
