Kazuko grows up hungry in postwar Tokyo, stealing and scamming to feed her family, then builds a string of Ginza nightclubs and becomes a TV fortune teller. In the present, a writer researches her biography.
Starring Erika Toda, Sairi Itô, Miura Toko
Biographical drama for viewers who like to make up their own mind about a person, since it never says whether she is hero or villain. Erika Toda plays Kazuko with cold ambition and a hunger that shows under the polished television face. Minori keeps pressing on what Kazuko's empire rests on, and Sairi Ito makes her the counterweight.
The story cuts between two timelines at a slow, deliberate pace, so give the first episode room.
