Jun Matsumoto’s new drama


I think Jun Matsumoto’s last drama was Bambino (if I’m not mistaken). But now he is going to star in a new drama alongside Yui Aragaki (the girl from Koizora, the movie version). It’s going to be entitled Smile.

Jun Matsumoto plays a half-Filipino whose father has died and mother has disappeared. Despite his misfortune and the issues he deals with, such as race, he lives his life positively with a constant smile.

Similarly, Gakky plays a young woman living cheerfully despite losing her ability to speak due to an accident. Her character is said to be modeled after a real actress in the theatrical troupe that Takuma runs.

“Smile” will air on Friday nights at 10:00pm, starting in April.

I hope this one would be nice 😀 ehehe can’t wait!

  6. This dorama is all about the racial discrimination… Dini-discriminate ang mga filipinos sa Japan… Tulad nito, kapag nalaman nilang may dugong filipino ka, may possibility na hindi ka mananalo sa kaso… 😦 Pero kahit na filipino ako, I love Japan pa rin and this dorama won’t make me back out of planning to go to Japan for a tour! 🙂 Good luck, MatsuJun! Sana magsalita ka pa ng tagalog!!! 🙂 KONBANWA… “Anatagasukidesu,MatsuJun-san!”

    1. discrimination* sorry for the typo!

      And we, FIlipinos, love Japan very much. Don’t make us disappointed by hearing that there’s discrimination in Japan. 😦
