A friend of mine had recommend an article written on The Japan Times and out of the blue, I went searching for Arashi news on the site. Guess what I had found, an article providing a lovely synopsis of Smile.
…”Smile” (TBS, Fri., 10 p.m.), which stars Jun Matsumoto as Bito. In the day, Bito works at a food-processing factory and at night he moonlights at a bar.
One night, he notices one of his colleagues slipping some white powder to Yuki, a regular female patron. Later, Bito learns that Yuki has been arrested for possession of illegal drugs. The police come back to his place of employment, and Bito is afraid that he will somehow be caught up in the whole terrible affair.
Bito is so worried that he barely notices the young woman, Hana (Yui Aragaki), who has just joined the accounting department at the food-processing company. In a way, it’s easy not to notice Hana, since she has come down with an illness that has temporarily robbed her of her ability to speak.

I’m even more excited now! Though, the story is based off of a manga, it has a real-life feel to it. I just love how in the mist of darkness that a smile can really brighten and/or change one’s attitude. Jun-kun’s is especially dazzling and irresistible. XO
UPDATE: The fabulous STORMY Team will be subbing this wonderful drama.
