Uchida Rio will headline the upcoming drama Ryakudatsudatsukon, premiering on January 6, 2026, airing every Tuesday at 24:30 on TV Tokyo and other channels. Adapted from Yamada Mei’s manga, the series tells a gripping story of a man and a woman falling into the depths of despair, exploring betrayal, revenge, and the complex entanglements of love and desire.
In the drama, Chiharu (Uchida) dedicates years to managing her husband Tsukasa’s (Ito Kentaro) financial matters, working part-time since his internship as a psychologist. Upon reaching 30, Chiharu longs to have a child and undergoes fertility treatments, only to find she cannot conceive. At the same time, Emiru (Nakamura Yurika), a wealthy former patient of Tsukasa, becomes pregnant with his child, forcing Chiharu into divorce. Though she receives a substantial compensation, the emptiness and despair she experiences leave her emotionally devastated.
The turning point occurs when an unexpected event ignites Chiharu’s desire for revenge. She begins plotting to reclaim what she feels was taken from her and confront Tsukasa directly. This psychological journey from despair to retribution forms the central tension of the series, while also examining boundaries of love, trust, and power in complicated relationships.
For viewers, Ryakudatsudatsukon offers more than a revenge drama; it delves into the intricacies of human psychology under extreme circumstances, revealing the multifaceted nature of people driven by pressure and desire. The interactions between Uchida Rio, Ito Kentaro, and Nakamura Yurika promise a tense, compelling narrative, making each episode highly anticipated.
