ハゲタカ
After the collapse of the bubble, in 1997, a foreign capital fund suddenly appeared in Japan still struggling in the middle of the “lost decade”. Masahiko Washizu, the president of the fund, is fiercely criticized, but promotes and wins takeovers on major banks and elite corporations suffering from bad loans. As the “Specialist of takeovers,” he probes deeper into a company than anyone else and challenges it. Called “the most eager corporate buyer”, Washizu scares Japanese companies, but carries out revolutions within corrupt corporations and Japanese business community by taking drastic and piquant measures that no one has dared to take.

母になる
One spring day, my beloved 3-year-old son was kidnapped.
It was our usual walk home from kindergarten.
I let go of his hand for just a blink of an eye.
When I looked back, he was gone.
Nine years later, my 13-year-old son shows up.
How do we begin to fill the void of all those years?
Once broken, can a family return to what it used to be?
What does it mean to be a mother? What does it mean to have a family?
Through a family that suffered a kidnapping, three women learn what it takes to become a mother amidst the struggles and pain.
To become a mother... To single women, this may be uncharted territory. To those in the middle of child-rearing, this is reality. To empty nesters, this is a nostalgic reminder. This drama is dedicated to all women, no matter which stage in life they're in.
