2018 is still a bits away but I’m already gearing up to check back into J-doramas thanks to a certain adorable charming actress diving into a new project that interests me. After her rumored boyfriend Yamashita Tomohisa put on his white coat (for the third time) in this summer’s highest rated J-dorama with Code Blue 3, it’s Ishihara Satomi‘s turn to play doctor for the first time in her career. She’s currently filming for TBS dorama Unnatural playing a pathologist for a lab that investigates so-called unnatural deaths. She is focused on figuring out the real behind such deaths working alongside her team, making this a bit like Bones with a Japanese twist. I love when Japan does procedurals right, the last one I loved to pieces was Border back in 2014 with Oguri Shun which had a supernatural element. Satomi looks suitably smart in her white coat and has a talented screenwriter alongside as Unnatural is written by the writer of Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu (We Married as a Job).
border 2 is coming back on October 29.
This is not thr first time for her in white coat. She was playing forensic medicine student in Voice (2009) with Eita and Ikuta Toma where, similiar to this, they uncover the stories behind the deceased person’s death (if I remember corectly, none of it is from murder so it was more like human drama instead of crime procedural one).
I thought Ishihara and Yamashita are married already??
Noooooo i hate her hair in this dorama T____T *sorry oot
I love love her style in from 5 to 9
Can Ishikawa SatomI and Oguri Shun, please pair up in another romcom.
Satomi is one of my favourite Japanese actresses so I’ll definitely check this drama out once it releases. Other than hearing news about her upcoming projects I’d be happier to hear wedding announcement soon since I know that’s what Satomi would like the most now, to settle down.
