Nagasaku will play the part of Takako, a police detective and a single mother of a child who will soon turn 1 year old. She is described as “dirty” because she doesn’t mind taking bribes or leaking information if it is to her own advantage. The series depicts her battles with the child’s irresponsible father, her police colleagues who only think of protecting themselves, and the criminals in the cases she handles. Karina (27) will play a trainee detective whom Takako partners with.
Directed by Takehiko Hata, Dirty Mama leans on a strong ensemble — Hiromi Nagasaku, Karina, Sachiko Fukumoto — 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 2012.
