Caster Storyline
The story follows Soichi Shindo (played by Hiroshi Abe), a former public broadcaster journalist who becomes the new lead anchor of the struggling news show News Gate. Declaring his mission to “fix the program,” Shindo brings in unconventional methods and a strong sense of justice.
As he shakes up the traditional structure of the newsroom, the staff around him begin to change as well. Supporting him are Hana Sakikubo (Mei Nagano), a young but talented program director, and Yusuke Motohashi (Shunsuke Michieda), an aspiring journalist working as a rookie assistant director.
