[Rio Uchida comment]
I’m honored to be able to play the role of Michiru Gamo, a rare villainess, and I feel a lot of pressure!
When I heard the story, I asked if it was okay for me to do it. I just said that (lol)
However, I read the original work and it was really interesting, and I’m more excited and excited than nervous!
I would be happy if you could get excited about her thoughts and goals as she manipulates human desires and sends them to hell!

At first, the publisher’s request was simply, “I want you to write a story about an evil woman” (which is how most of the offers I get). I had never encountered a villainous woman in my life, so I remember using my imagination even more than usual. Personally, I think I created Michiru Gamo as a symbol of pure malice, without any motive for committing a crime. I would like you to take a moment to observe the misfortunes of others from above.
Comment from producer Naoki Kawazumi (Tokai TV)
Everyone who lives their days peacefully and safely in this society. Don’t you sometimes want to throw away everything you have, surrender to your desires, and run wild? (I do). I hope that such viewers will watch the local drama “Laughing Lady” and detox their hearts through fear and horror.
The main character of this work, Michiru Gamo, liberates the darkness in the hearts of troubled people and affirms their desires. As a result, people deviate from social norms, commit more sins, and fall. The situation is filled with genuine fear, but strangely, the people involved do not hate Michiru, but rather praise him. It may be because I enjoyed the sense of freedom that comes from falling completely free, something that I don’t often experience in my normal daily life. Rio Uchida will play the role of Michiru, who rules over this horrifying world where the values of reality have been subverted. I’m looking forward to seeing how you bring this powerful character to life. We also hope that you will enjoy the story, which is full of surprises and twists unique to Shichiri Nakayama’s original work. We hope that you can surrender to the pleasure of falling, which is the exact opposite of the sporty excitement of effort and victory, and return to your daily life refreshed.
Comment from Producer Machiko Takahashi (Kyodo Television)
When I read the original story for the first time, I still vividly remember being intrigued by Michiru Gamo’s skillful storytelling, thinking that I too wanted to be fooled just a little bit. Having Rio Uchida play such a charming protagonist, and the stimulating conversations between Michiru and the unique guests are sure to become the highlights of this program. This summer! On Saturday night, I hope viewers will enjoy watching the characters go off the rails of their lives while being at the mercy of the evil woman’s comments. story
Michiru Gamo (Rio Uchida) appears in front of Kyoko Nonomiya, who works at a small consulting company, for the first time in 17 years. To the employees around her who are upset by her beauty, she suddenly tells them that she has bought the company and fires everyone except Kyoko. Kyoko is stared at by Michiru in the office where the two of them are alone. The secret of the incident from 17 years ago that only the two of them know comes back to life, and they can’t stop shaking. Sayo Saginuma (27), who works for Teito Bank, a major city bank, leads a private life surrounded by gorgeous brand goods and is considered a winner by those around her. However, it is a falsehood. The only way to release stress from work was through expensive purchases, and he accumulated a large amount of debt. At that time, he reunites with his high school classmate, Kyoko. Then, she is introduced to Michiru, who provides consulting on everything related to money and life. Michiru, with his genius speaking skills and insight, pinpoints Sayo’s difficult circumstances one after another. Michiru whispers to Sayo, who is completely fascinated and cries for help.
“Who is your enemy? You can ask Teito Bank, the cause of your stress, to take responsibility.”
Michiru suggests that they embezzle money by creating a fictitious account and temporarily borrowing money from the bank. He thought that he could use the money to pay off his debt, and later return the money to his account from bonuses, etc., and as long as he didn’t notice, it would be fine.
As instructed, Sayo paid off her debt in no time.
“Michiru-san is a goddess to me!”
Michiru once again urges Sayo to return the bonus money without anyone noticing. However, due to the increasing stress of work, Sayo becomes addicted to shopping again and even starts going to a host club. Rather than decreasing, the amount of embezzlement continues to increase… Kyoko, who is being manipulated by Michiru into working as his assistant, tries to stop Sayo from rushing toward destruction, but she is always thwarted by Michiru. And gradually, I myself become captivated by Michiru…
What will be Sayo’s fate?
And what is the truth behind the incident from 17 years ago that continues to bind Kyoko?
