Pride
On Fuji TV
A character-driven romantic drama about two emotionally guarded people negotiating the collision between pride and vulnerability through a relationship built on honest self-deception.
Haru Satonaka is the captain of an ice-hockey team, a star athlete who stakes everything on hockey but can only consider love as a game. Aki Murase is a woman who has been waiting for her lover who went abroad two years ago. These two persons start a relationship while frankly admitting to each other that it is only a love game. …The result is the unfolding of a drama of people with their respective pasts and with their pride as individuals.
