Abe Hiroshi [阿部寛] First noticed him in Anchorwoman(news no onna?) as the tall guy. His acting is great and i think he's one of the underated actors in Japan.
Takeuchi Yuko [竹内結子] I didn't notice her that much in My Husband, but when I saw Pride, I was a bit shocked. Finally jdorama changed her picture! This one justifies her cuteness and her beauty.
