KIKEN NA KANKEI (Dangerous Relationship)

An hour passed very quickly watching Etsushi Toyokawa in Kiken na Kankei Oct. 14 at 10 p.m. on the Fuji network. He is a superb, charismatic actor able to transform himself before our very eyes, but the plot also transformed him into a very attractive but senseless killer in the first episode. (10/21/99-Wm. Penn / Daily Yomiuri)

In "Kiken na Kankei" (Dangerous Relationship) (10 p.m. Thursdays), which resembles the French film "Plein Soleil," a taxi driver played by Etsushi Toyokawa assumes the identity of a former classmate whom he murders, and becomes head of a huge supermarket.  A hard-driven detective (Norika Fujiwara) investigating the company's embezzlement scandal, falls prey to the imposter's fatal charms.
