Ai to Iu Nano Moto Ni (In the name of love) 1992
dorama starring Honami Suzuki (teacher) and Yousuke Eguchi. The
English title was "In the Name of Love" and it was one
of the first doramas I ever saw. I saw it in New York in 1993.
Honami's character was a teacher by the name of Takako Fujiki who
was engaged to be married to Kengo,(Toshiaki Karawsawa) son of
a prominent M.P. Yousuke Eguchi's character, the happy-go-lucky
Tokio, was the Kengo's rival for Takako's affections. They were
all college classmates. Tokio and Kengo were part of the school's
rowing team with Kengo being their leader. Up to the last five
minutes of the final episode, it was one of the finest doramas
I had ever seen, but the ending was a major.......Yes,it was a
circle of seven friends who went to college together. The four
guys in the group were members of their school rowing team. Their
leader was Kengo (Toshiaki Karasawa), the bright, ambitious son
of a distinguished politician. Youske Eguchi was the happy-go-lucky
character, Tokio, who after graduation left for America only to
come back to Japan three years later. Honami played a high school
teacher, Takako Fujiki, who later became engaged to Kengo. I must
admit, they were a terrific looking couple! During their college
days, both Kengo and Tokio were rivals for Takako's affections
although she somehow didn't seem aware of it at the time. Guess
what happened to Kengo and Takako in the finale! Well, it was good until.....Let's just say that if the ending was what everyone wanted...this could of been a highly recommended drama. - Shion Copyright © 1998-2003
