Kalen Anzai cast as Ayu in the drama adaptation of "M 愛すべき人がいて"

[attractive nausea]

^ it seems so... That's too bad, I don't think people who watched the dorama mostly because of lockdown will keep on watching when it airs again.

They didn't have the entire season filmed in advance? I'm not familiar with how film production works in Japan.

The majority of Korean and Japanese dramas (maybe Chinese too?) film pretty close to transmission and continue filming once the show has started airing. Mostly so they can adjust and change the plot based on viewer feedback for a satisfactory ending.

There was a pretty good Kdrama that was about the making of a drama which showed how it works, sometimes literally filming scenes up to 5am the same day the scene will be aired.

They really don't want her character to speak do they? Karen is already not really expressive but here...
Looks like an extra who found her way in the different shots haha.

Filming is currently on hold because of Covid-19. Episode 4 is already filmed because there's a trailer but I guess producers prefer to film the whole thing before broadcasting the show again

Do we know the ratings now? How is it doing?

Thank you visionfactory!

Is it good, average for a drama? Given the epidemic crisis?

[truehappiness]

Looks like possibly slightly above average if it's around Crayon Shinchan/Pokemon ratings but with stuff like streaming, ratings often don't factor into much nowadays.

[mizuki-7]

It’s strange Oricon reported 5.2 or something like that for the first episode stating it was the best rating of the year for this time slot And episode 2 was about the same. So I would say this drama is doing pretty good for what it is lol and it’s seems quite a lot of personne watch it on Ameba Tv.

Ratings can also differ a lot by region, but usually the rating that is looked at most is the Kanto numbers. There'd also be some average household ratings vs. average viewer ratings which may differ.
