Y'all will be able to see my beautiful MakiChan on the TV screen!!! I think this is his first dorama!! <3 I cannot wait for y'all to see him!!! Also Hongo Kanata but more importantly MAKICHAN!!! IN A DORAMA!!! MakiChan also mentioned during his event that he got to speak to Hongo while filming this and because they're both similar in age and love gaming that it was easy to become friends <3
MAKICHAN!!!!!

Friday's from the 20th at 11:15pm
Synopsis:
Ikeuchi Hikaru works for a design company in Tokyo and has a fiancé Okugawa Kota. However, her life suddenly changes with the appearance of her ex-boyfriend Moriyama Shin (Otani Ryohei). She had once loved him to death but he vanished all of a sudden after telling her that they are breaking up. The feelings that Hikaru has tried to suppress are rekindled when she is reunited with Shin, who is in Tokyo for three months, and her heart seeks him even though he is now married with a wife, Ran.
Starring: Miura Shohei, Kurashina Kana
Might watch because it has Miura Shohei in it. Also it has Kurashina in it who isn't actually annoying me in Autumn's season Cain and Abel! She's kinda cute but kinda not but I can stand her and that's what's important! xD

An incident from 10 years ago though causes the actors to hold resentment.
Starring: Endo Kenichi, Taguchi Tomorrow, Osugi Ren, Terajima Susumu, Matsuhiga Yutaka, Mitsuishi Ken
It has all the wonderful Old Boy actors in it and hopefully it's a comedy. I really like all the older acors casted as mains in this <3 Sounds really meta and interesting as well! Could easily become a dark comedy and I hope it is!
