Characters
Takeuchi Yuko as Himi Ko
A lawyer with a unique style. She is a talented troubleshooter who will turn lies into the truth at times in order to save her clients. She has a startlingly ability to read people’s minds. Although she looks easygoing, she is a tactician who can anticipate things several steps ahead. She has a strong conviction about saving females who are stuck in crises, and goes ahead with whatever she believes in.
Mizukawa Asami as Yoda Chie
A lawyer who specialises in crisis management just like Himi Ko. She understands Ko’s intentions and works perfectly with her. She is fast on her feet and has a logical and frank personality. But once she gets angry, even Ko is unable to stop her.
Nakagawa Taishi as Fujieda Shuji
A handsome new lawyer specialising in crisis management. He is a Harvard graduate but is rather simple-minded so he gets mocked by Himi Ko and other colleagues for lying about his educational background. However, he has a strong sense of justice that makes him want to help people in need.
Izumi Rika as Todo Yuko
A capable reporter who targets scoops. She is sexually harassed by a politician’s son, and gets to know Himi Ko whom she asked to deal with her case. They establish a relationship of helping each other to probe around for information.
Bakarhythm as Suzuki Taro
The deputy at the law firm where Himi Ko, Yoda Chie and Fujieda Shuji work. His father is the head of the law firm so he was born into a wealthy family. He leaves all the work that comes in to Himi Ko and the rest. While he lets their protests about this being a business that exploits employees pass, his keen insight startles them.
Saito Yuki as Mano Seiko
A clerk at the law firm who possesses advanced hacking skills and is largely a mystery. An unfathomable woman who does not show her emotions as she does things at her own pace. She is divorced and has children. As her checkered past is gradually, it shocks even Himi Ko and Yoda Chie who are used to scandals.
