LEADERSLEADERS 前編・後編 LEADERS 전편・후편 149 min x 2 eps｜2 episodes Prior to the start of World War II, Saichiro Aichi witnessed firsthand the technological prowess and industrial strength developing in the automotive industry of the US and Europe. Under Saichiro’s strong visionary leadership and the efforts of his team, a do-mestic passenger car is finally built just as the march of war is heard approaching. Saichiro’s group bides its time through a devastating war by building military trucks and machinery only to confront a dire depression upon war’s end, due to a financial re-trenchment policy by the Bank of Japan. Short on capital and troubled by labor strife, as well as personal illness, Saichiro and his men refuse to give up. Here is an inspiring tale about visionary men who through blood, sweat and tears and the spirit of “monozukuri” battled back from the brink of bankruptcy to build a Japanese auto company that would be the pride of the world. The Apartment with a Rooftop Deck屋上のあるアパート 옥상이 있는 아파트 天臺 116 min. x 1 ep.｜1 episode This drama is set in an apartment block in the suburbs. The young heroine’s humorous interaction with the odd residents provides the back drop to a charming story as we follow her on her path to making major “life choices,” facing significant turning points and affairs of the heart. Unemployment, independence, change of career and romance are just some of the obstacles a 27 year-old woman experiences and the drama traces her growth as she positively overcomes each one – a tender and funny love story. Indecisive Asako learns to make a decision for the first time in her life, boldly opting to go it alone.

That is until her fiance, Takashi, suddenly became a candidate for lower house elections of the Diet. In support of Takashi’s aim to “bring a fresh breeze to politics,” she enters an unfamiliar world. There she meets the holders of the real power in politics, the adept private secretaries and the power behind the throne - the wives of the parliamentarians. Giddy from the eccentric and driven personalities she meets, the likes of which she has never before encountered, Mako stands with Takashi as they are buffeted by the waves of politics. |
