Director's Comments
Ryu Ichinose
This work, "Re: Share Love," is a fictionalized drama based on a romance reality show where three former couples who once loved each other face each other again under the same roof. Is it past love, or new love? What is love? Through the interactions between men and women, raw desires and jealousy are depicted in detail, along with the adult romances that attempt to conceal them.
The eight main cast members participating this time, while possessing refined visuals, each bring their characters to life with reality on screen. They were a tremendous help on set, as they could immediately embody the roles they were given. I am deeply grateful to everyone who has brought these difficult roles to life so effectively.
Due to the nature of short dramas, there are many close-up shots. Despite the limited shooting time, the entire staff, including cinematographer Kusakabe and lighting director Shinbe, were able to shoot each cut meticulously with great attention to visuals. Every cut in every episode is visually strong.
We hope viewers will find their own favorite character and enjoy the show. Please watch until the end to experience this rich human drama that transcends the boundaries of a mere reality show.
Hitomi Maiugi
Capturing the reasons behind the immense popularity of romance reality shows, this drama was created to convey the fluctuating emotions of each character within the fast-paced tempo of vertical dramas, which are popular in the current era with a large fanbase. I have strived to direct it in a way that allows viewers to feel the sensuality and excitement from a female perspective.
And the love scenes featuring the overwhelmingly beautiful cast are a must-see.
The cast and staff were all very close, and despite some grueling shooting scenes, the set was warm and filled with laughter.
This work is full of highlights. While carrying their respective pasts, they are living in the present; ultimately, what choices will they make?
We hope you enjoy it until the final episode.
