About The Diamond Sleeping in the Sea
Set on Hashima Island in Nagasaki Prefecture during the coal industry's rise in 1955, this story follows themes of family, friendship, and love. It contrasts the post-war era, where people had little but were full of dreams, with present-day Tokyo, where abundance prevails, but young people struggle to find their dreams.
Directed by Akiko Nogi, The Diamond Sleeping in the Sea leans on a strong ensemble — Ryunosuke Kamiki, Takumi Saitoh, Hana Sugisaki — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
