This year, TV Asahi will broadcast a drama special titled "Koori no Hana." The story is based on a mystery novel of the same name that was self-published last year as the debut of 62-year-old author Setsuko Amano.

Actress Ryoko Yonekura will star, returning to the "wicked woman" image she acquired through her roles in dramas such as "Kurokawa no Techo" and "Warui Yatsura." In "Koori no Hana," she plays a pianist who receives an inheritance from her uncle, and she begins living happily with her husband, a surgeon (Masato Sakai). But one day, she receives a phone call from a woman claiming to be her husband's pregnant mistress, and she is soon driven to murder.

No specific broadcast date has been announced yet.
