Kie Kitano stars in drama special “Koisuru Nihongo”

Actress Kie Kitano (19) is set to star in a drama special on NHK titled “Koisuru Nihongo.” It is based on a short story collection by screenwriter Kundo Koyama (“Okuribito”).

Kitano was recently seen kissing actor Kazuma Sano (21), but she later apologized and implied that she has broken up with him. Similar to her actual love life, Kitano’s character in the drama will deal with a broken heart.

Kitano has been cast as a young woman who happens to enter a strange antique shop. There, she comes across a book on love, whose beautiful words help her recover from her heartbreak. Kimiko Yo (54) plays the shopkeeper.

“Koisuru Nihongo” will air on August 18.
