NHK's Asadora drama series "Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka , began its 13th week, "Daydream," on June 22nd, introducing Hide Doi, played by Akana Ikeda.
Hide Doi is a member of the first graduating class of the newly established nursing department at Teito Medical University Hospital. She is highly ambitious and seeks advanced, Western-style nursing education.
This will be Ikeda's second appearance in a Asadora, following "The Tiger and Her Wings" (first half of 2024). Last time, she played Kaoru, the eldest daughter of Shiomi (Hirano Kisei) and Hyang-chan, or Kaori (Ha Yeon-soo soo).
"Kaze,Kaoru" is the 114th morning Asadora. Based on the story of two trained nurses, Chika Ozeki and Masa Suzuki, who graduated from the same nursing school, the drama depicts how the two grow through their struggles and clashes with each other in how to interact with patients and doctors, and eventually become the "ultimate buddy" team. Mikami plays the main character, Rin Ichinose, and Uesaka plays the other main character, Naomi Oya.
In week 13, Rin (Mikami), Naomi (Uesaka), Tae (Ikuta Erika), and Tome (Harashima Rin) begin working at Teito Medical University Hospital. As nursing supervisors, Rin and the others are extremely busy, also in charge of training students. Meanwhile, Tsuya (Higashino Ayaka), who was working as a nurse, appears... and the story unfolds from there.
