Scripted

Following the success of Nippon TV’s two most successful scripted format drama series to date, <em>‘Mother’</em> and <em>‘Woman - My Life for My Children’</em>, Nippon Television Network Corporation (Nippon TV) has announced it will be heading to this year’s MIPTV with new scripted format ‘Weakest Beast’. The one-hour romantic drama series, from scriptwriter Akiko Nogi, is a love story for all adults who ardently hope to conquer success in romance and life but are actually too scared and weak to move.
<em>‘Weakest Beast’</em> follows two modern-day millennials who have yet to learn how to speak with their hearts and let romance shine. The 30-year-old young woman does everything perfectly at work, while constantly keeping her emotions in check. All she wants is to fall madly in love and have a relationship where she can be true to herself, but every day passes without progress. She soon realizes that she has been the perfect employee and girlfriend yet this is getting her nowhere. On the other side, is a street smart and charming 33-year-old ladies' man who works as an elite accountant. But it is all an act and, truth be told, he sees everything with cold eyes. He trusts no one until that faithful day when destiny brings these two people together.
Having both guarded their hearts with an impenetrable armour, ‘Weakest Beast’ is the ultimate modern love story about two individuals who are too afraid to follow their gut instincts and allow their hearts to guide them to romance.
‘Weakest Beast’ is also available as a finished drama, with 10 episodes with English / Mandarin Chinese / Bahasa Indonesian / Thai subtitles.
