Actress Yuko Araki is quite a talented actress. I have seen her in “Todome No Kiss” and other movies of hers and she seems okay to me. “Roppongi Class” is a much-awaited dorama and if she manages to do well then the show will prove to be a game-changer for her. Let’s hope that the two leads do well with their interesting characters.
“Roppongi Class” is assigned the Thursday time slot and is scheduled to air sometime in July this year.
