1992 dorama starring Honami Suzuki (teacher) and Yousuke Eguchi. The English title was "In the Name of Love" and
it was one of the first doramas I ever saw. I saw it in New York in 1993. Honami's character was a teacher by the
name of Takako Fujiki who was engaged to be married to Kengo,(Toshiaki Karawsawa) son of a prominent M.P.
Yousuke Eguchi's character, the happy-go-lucky Tokio, was the Kengo's rival for Takako's affections. They were all
college classmates. Tokio and Kengo were part of the school's rowing team with Kengo being their leader. Up to the
last five minutes of the final episode, it was one of the finest doramas I had ever seen, but the ending was a
major.......
Yes,it was a circle of seven friends who went to college together. The four guys in the group were members
of their school rowing team. Their leader was Kengo (Toshiaki Karasawa), the bright, ambitious son of a distinguished
politician. Youske Eguchi was the happy-go-lucky character, Tokio, who after graduation left for America only to come
back to Japan three years later. Honami played a high school teacher, Takako Fujiki, who later became engaged to
Kengo. I must admit, they were a terrific looking couple! During their college days, both Kengo and Tokio were rivals
for Takako's affections although she somehow didn't seem aware of it at the time. Guess what happened to Kengo and
Takako in the finale!
