テレビドラマが大好きです。毎クール，どんなドラマがあるか楽しみにしています。今クールで一番気になっているのは，吉高由里子さん主演の「正義のセ」です。このドラマで吉高さんが演じるのは，竹村凛々子という名の，大阪から横浜地検に転勤したばかりの2年目の検事です。喜怒哀楽が豊かな凛々子は，ついつい被害者や被疑者に感情移入しながらも，腑に落ちないこと，理不尽に感じたことを徹底的に追求していく人物として描かれるようです。
I love TV dramas very much. I look forward to seeing what kind of dramas starts every season. The one I’m paying attention in this season is “Seigi no Se” starring Yoshitaka Yuriko. Yoshitaka plays a prosecutor named Takemura Ririko, who is in her second year as a prosecutor and has just been transferred from Osaka to Yokohama. Ririko is depicted as someone who tends to show her emotion easily so often empathize with victims or suspects in spite of herself, but she pursues thoroughly what she can’t understand or anything doesn’t make sense.
吉高由里子さんといえば，2008年のドラマ，「あしたの喜多善男」で演じられていた宵町しのぶ役の演技が衝撃でした。軽薄で奔放で，賢くはないが抜け目のない落ち目のアイドルが，十日後に死ぬという主人公の純粋さに惹かれ，寄り添い，結局は救っていくという役でした。小日向文世さんが演じる喜多善男を，時には「善男ちゃん」，時には「善男め～！」と翻弄する小悪魔的な女性を自由自在に演じる吉高さんの姿に笑ったり泣いたりして，大好きになりました。その印象が強すぎて，どうしてもその後演じられたどの役柄にも勝手に物足りなさを感じていました。しかし，今回，ようやくその思いを払しょくできそうです。宵町しのぶとは全く違うキャラクターながら，吉高さんの魅力が最大限引き出されたドラマのように感じています。今後の展開が楽しみです。
Speaking of Yoshitaka Yuriko, I remember I was amazed by her acting a Lady named Yoimachi Shinobu in a drama titled “Ashita no Kita Yoshio” which was broadcasted in 2008. The lady she played was an idol on the way down who was frivolous and unrestrained, and not smart but shrewd. She was so attracted by the pureness of the main character named Kita Yoshio that she accompanied him and then finally saved him. I bacame a fan of her while sometimes chuckling and sometimes crying because Yoshitaka attractvely played an impish girl at will, on some occasions she called Kita Yoshio, who is played by Kohinata Humiyo, “Yoshio, my sweetie!”, on others “That damn Yoshio!” so teasingly. The impression of this character was so strong that I couldn’t help but being unsatisfied with any roll she played after the drama, of course I knew it’s just my own personal feeling. This time, though, I have a hunch that I may be able to sweep off the feeling. The character of the new drama is totally different from Yoimachi Shinobu, but I feel it’s a drama that fully draw out her charm. I’m looking forward to seeing how the plot goes.
