The Tuesday drama "Hatsukoi DOGs," starring Kaho Kiyohara, is currently airing every Tuesday at 10 PM on TBS and will have its final episode on September 2. The story is a love story of three complicated adults crossing borders: the cool lawyer Aiko Hanamura (Kiyohara), the troubled vet Kaito Shirazaki (Ryo Narita) who can only love animals, and the troubled Korean heir Woo Soha (Na Inoo). An interview with producer Masako Miyazaki reveals unexpected stories from the filming set, insights gained from Korean drama production methods, and the response to global distribution. She reflects on the unique atmosphere created by the actors, staff, and animals on set. Miyazaki expresses gratitude for successfully completing the shoot, noting the fresh stimulation from collaborating with Korean actors. The drama has been perceived as having a "K-drama feel" due to the involvement of Korean actors. She highlights the impressive performance of Na Inoo, who portrayed Soha, and shares memorable filming scenes that exceeded the script's expectations. The theme song "Aiga Toorisugita Ato" by SEVENTEEN was chosen seamlessly, aligning with the story's themes. Miyazaki discusses the differences in storytelling perspectives between Japanese and Korean productions, emphasizing the focus on current events rather than past relationships. She expresses excitement about the global distribution of the drama, noting positive feedback from viewers in Korea. The final episode promises to showcase how the three main characters come together, along with the dynamics of the supporting cast.
