フジテレビのいわゆる月９枠に放送されている「コンフィデンスマンＪＰ」，なんとなく見逃していたのですが，観てみると大変面白く，初回から見なかったことを大変後悔しています。脚本が古沢良太さんという時点で期待度は高まります。観はじめるとすぐに，古沢脚本らしい，テンポのよい展開にワクワクしました。登場人物のキャラ付けや会話の面白さは，新垣結衣さん主演の「リーガル・ハイ」を思わせるところがありますが，個人的にはより好ましい雰囲気があるように感じました。
I somehow haven’t seen a TV drama titled “Confidence Man JP”, currently broadcast by Fuji TV Station on the airtime so called Getsu9, but I tried one episode recorded today. I found it actually interesting so I’m really regretting not to have seen it from the first episode. The fact that the playwright is Kosawa Ryota makes the drama promising. I was actually excited as soon as I began to watch it due to the thrilling plot which is typical of Kosawa’s script. The characterizing or the funny conversation which can be seen in this drama reminds me of a TV drama named “Legal High” starring Aragaki Yui, but I feel this new one has more lovable atmosphere than the other old one.
古沢さんの名前を初めて知ったのは，水谷豊さん主演の「相棒」でした。複数の方が交代で脚本を書かれていたのですが，特に面白いと感じた回が古沢良太さんでした。面白いだけでなく，何かしら考えさせられる余韻のあるお話ばかりでした。決定的だったのは，お正月の「相棒」ＳＰで題名は忘れましたが，もはやＴＶドラマとは思えないほどのスケール感と息を付かせぬ展開に衝撃を受けました。そのうちに，「Always３丁目の夕日」などの映画でもお名前を見かけるようになり喜んでいました。
よいドラマに共通する特徴として，俳優さんの魅力が最大限に引き出されていることが挙げられます。長澤まさみさんの魅力をこれまであまり感じられずにいたのですが，このドラマで大好きになりました。残りのエピソードが楽しみです。
I knew Kosawa’s name for the first time through watching a TV drama “Aibou” featuring Mizutani Yutaka. Several playwrights wrote the script of the drama in turn, and I happened to find that some episodes particularly interesting was written by Kosawa. Episodes by him was not only interesting but having something lingering and suggestive after the ending. There was a new year's special episode which was somewhat so decisive one for me that I was amazed by the magnificent scale and the breath taking plot which is unlike a TV drama. Since then I often see his name even in the movie such as “Alwas 3tyoume no Yuuhi” with a feeling of delight.
Something in common to most of quality TV dramas is that, I guess, the attractiveness of actors is displayed to the maximum. Actually, I didn’t feel Nagasawa Masami’s charm so much before but now that I watched the drama I do and even like her very much. I’m really looking forward to watching the episodes left.
