Hirosue Ryoko Drama Recommendation: "Beach Boys"

"Beach Boys" tells the story of two down-on-their-luck protagonists who abandon their city lives to find new direction at the seaside inn Diamond Head on "Shion Coast." Hirosue Ryoko plays "Izumi Makoto," the innkeeper's granddaughter, whose adorable portrayal made her the "national little sister" of Japan at the time, skyrocketing her popularity. She won her first Drama Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for this role.
