Japanese TV Series – JIN
Recently a comment was posted about Oppai Volleyball. The reader agreed that Haruka Ayase is indeed nice to look at and suggested that she is now appearing (and looking good) in an ongoing and most worthwhile Japanese TV drama series called JIN. The series has a wonderful 9:00 PM on Sunday night prime time slot. Its broadcast can be seen on the TBS channel in Japan.
That was enough of cue for me. In the simplest of terms, a modern day brain surgeon, Dr. Jin Minakata played by Takao Osawa, is transported back in time. He takes a tumble down some steps in a Tokyo hospital and when he awakens, he finds that he is in Edo (now called Tokyo) in 1862. He will meet Haruka Ayase who plays the daughter, Saki Tachibana, of a noble household. This story could be described best as Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court meets the US TV Series House in the Japan of almost 150 years ago.
