In this work, produced to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the opening of TV Asahi, Riku Kariyama (Kimura), who is passionate about building bridges, faces the unexpected hardship of being imprisoned, but never gives up and strives for hope and rebirth. I’m looking for a way. Weaving an epic story that intertwines unpredictable suspense with thrilling and heart-wrenching human drama.

In the first episode, Kariyama’s crimes, for which he was sentenced to one year and six months in prison, are read out from the beginning. Despite Kariyama, who was involved in the construction of Tokyo’s major project, the Ryujin Bridge, taking the utmost care in designing the bridge, an accident involving a large number of people occurred at the construction site. He will be taken to prison.

Takeuchi had been announced to play Masaoki Kuroki, a detective from the First Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department who investigates Kariyama. In a scene where he reminisces about the fulfilling days he spent at the site, he appears as Wakamatsu, a man who looks just like the worker.

In the scene where the bridge collapses, which is the crux of the story, Wakamatsu stands dumbfounded as the bridge collapses with a huge explosion, but he collides with a broken cable and dies. It was later revealed that the cable had been replaced with one that was less safe and less than half as strong.

On the other hand, in the scene of Kariyama’s trial, when Kuroki appeared wearing black sunglasses and was shown sitting in the audience seats, people on social media posted questions such as, “Are there two Ryoma Takeuchi?”, “Twins?”, “Brothers?”, “Huh? “Is Ryoma Takeuchi playing two roles?”, “One person playing two roles???”, “Is this the same person?” were the voices of confusion and surprise. The truth behind the accident and the relationship between the deceased worker and Kuroki are likely to be interesting in the future.
