Anticipating J-dorama Last Cinderella with Shinohara Ryoko, Miura Haruma, and Fujiki Naohito

OMG, I want, I want, I WANT!!! I heard rumors about an upcoming J-dorama rom-com a few weeks ago but nothing confirmed and then sorta forgot about it until it snuck up on me. Spring 2013 will be having a love triangle rom-com from the land that frankly has mostly forgotten about that genre. Last Cinderella starring Shinohara Ryoko, Miura Haruma, and Fujiki Naohito (drooooooolz) reminds me of a non-office version of Ryoko’s own Anego but this time with two male leads that I love. Can we say win and win already? This is my first Ryoko dorama in three years since watching her last starring role in the laugh-a-minute Tsuki no Koibito with KimuTaku, and Fujiki Naohito’s last dorama was also with KimuTaku in Priceless. I haven’t seen a Miura Haruma dorama since Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta (the mouthful dorama Everything I need to know I learned from you) but its good to see him making up this fantastic main cast trio. The story revolves around a hairdresser in her late 30s who makes all her clients look good but could care less about her own upkeep. She’s best described as an “ojisan type of onna”, and she’s currently undergoing a middle-aged hormone imbalance that is making her grow facial hair and driving her bonkers. She’s still hopeful on love but after not dating for the past 10 years is scared to dive in. Fujiki Naohito is her boss at the hair salon, a hair stylist who is known for his cutting remarks, love of crude jokes, and an odd relationship with Ryoko’s character though he is dating a rich younger woman. Ryoko’s character has two best friends, one who is married but the relationship has fallen into celibacy, while the other is a man-eater who wants to change her lifestyle and return to chastity. Ryoko’s character meets a much younger man played by Miura Haruma at a party and they become attracted to each other. His character is a BMX biker rider and total ladies man. The dorama premieres on April 11th after Saikou no Rikon on Thursday on Fuji TV. Check out the first teaser below.

  • hmm I do like the cast but it's the storyline, all déjà-vu. Older(or not) woman can't fall in love/can't get married etc it just feels like Anego v.2 to me. but this time she surely ends up with Naohito aka the older guy. like in that drama w Nakama Yukie..

    • i actually think she might end up with miura haruma's character because his name comes before naohito [not only here but also on dramawiki] but that is just my guess i could be wrong

      • hmm I don't think that means much. In anego I accepted the pair because Jin looked somehow suitable and the age gap wasn't huge, And the fact there wasn't other competition (there was but you know he's not the one). Here, Haruma looks too young for Ryoko, it'd be so weird, and beside there's Naohito, and per jdrama rule you know he'll be end game. though we'll probably get an open ending, just like many others in the past.

  • Oh my GOD! what a pair of gorgeous men! this spring comen full of drool. Waiting and camping here, I hope a very kind koala will make a recap of Rich man, poor women SP ^___________^ and waiting for the "good news" after the SP ^^

  • Why is this type of storyline so popular? I mean, sure, if you look like Shinohara Ryoko I'll buy it.

  • oh YESSSSSSS!!!

    Couldn't watch the teaser but OMGGGG!! I LOVE both of these guys. They're perrrrfect! omigoshhhhh SOOOO excited!!

  • They are HOT ! hhhh I'm exited for that ! But what's up with the facial hair ?! Hhhh I laughed at that Hhh !
    Pls mrs koala recap that ! Hh

  • If her towel was any lower in the first still she'd be topless. I don't get it. The first guy is cute & younger guy is pretty but they are way too skinny.

  • OMG!!!! *flails uncontrollably* I love them both!!!! Haruma and Naohito in one dorama..yes please!!!!

    Thank you, Koala for this great news! ;)
