Chikara “Halfway” Nakagoshi has more care and heart than most people, but no matter what he does it’s never fully realized and half-baked. Chikara’s motivation for everything is his wish to “save people” and “bring peace to everyone around me”, but he always ends up being part of other people’s problems only partially.
Once he finds out it’s an issue not easily solved, he starts worrying and retreating halfway.
However, he communicates with his fellow residents of the apartment he lives in and forges a strong connection with everyone as a community…
Jun Matsumoto of “Arashi” plays this “Halfway Man” and the script is by Kazuhiko Yukawa, a popular script writer that took Japan by storm with “I am Mita, Your Housekeeper.”
Bored, yet busy. Lonely, but likes the solitude. Slipping into the hearts of the lonely, modern-day people and giving them the courage to connect with other again.
Enjoy a new kind of entertainment with this fresh, unique drama.
Cast: Jun Matsumoto, Aya Ueto, Yukiyoshi Ozawa, Kurara Emi, Sonim, Jun Fubuki, Nanako Matsushima, and others
