Yonekura Ryoko as an eccentric housekeeper in Matsumoto Seicho drama SP

Yonekura Ryoko will be starring in TV Asahi's drama SP "Matsumoto Seicho - Atsui Kuuki" (Hot Air) due to be shown within this year. The novel had been made into a drama series named "Kaseifu wa Mita!" (The Housekeeper saw it) back from 1983 all the way to 2008 which starred Ichihara Etsuko. This is the 4th time Yonekura will be acting in a drama based on Matsumoto Seicho's works following her 2004 drama "Kurokawa no Teccho", 2006's "Kemonomichi" and 2007's "Warui Yatsura".

In this drama SP, Yonekura plays a beautiful housekeeper Koono Nobuko who is divorced and deliberately changes her appearance to an ugly woman with messy hair and black thick-rimmed spectacles to hide her beauty. She derives pleasure by delving into the dark side of the rich family she works for. Even when treated badly by her employer, Koono continues to put on a faint smile on her face while plotting the downfall of the family which she has a grudge against.
