Story
Ohno plays the role of Tarui Shotaro, an ordinary guy who dreamed of becoming a hero when he was a child, but now gets by as a part-time worker. The unexpected story unfolds when one day, the daughter of a yakuza boss asks him to plan a make-believe kidnapping.
Sato Ryuta plays Shotaro’s co-worker who helps him with the kidnapping. Kanjiya Shihori plays Satsuki, the eldest daughter of the Hanazono yakuza clan, while Narimiya Hiroki plays Satsuki’s college senpai who joined the Hanazono clan after graduation. Takahashi Katsumi plays the head of a rival organization who has fallen in love with Satsuki. Kitaoji Kinya plays Satsuki’s father and the head of the Hanazono clan.

Quick thoughts: It was alright. Mostly I wanted to watch this drama because Ohno was in it. Also, both Kageyama (Sakurai Sho) and Matsumoto Jun makes a brief appearance in this Special. It was absolutely hilarious when Kageyama showed up. It was probably a little tribute to the Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de drama, since both of these shows were adapted from a novel by the same author who created the story. Jun appeared towards the end of the Special. I wasn't expecting Jun to be role-playing as Slider Man, a children's superhero performer. The funniest part was that Jun was complaining about how bad one of his background performers was doing and in the end, he was talking about Ohno. It was hilarious.
Overall, it was enjoyable Special, but nothing spectacular. I decided I might as well watch this while I wait for the upcoming 2012 Winter Jdramas.
