Ooku ~Tanjou (2012)

Other name:

Description:

Ooku Tanjou is a captivating drama from TBS that serves as the ultimate origin story for a unique historical mystery. Set during the reign of the third shogun, Iemitsu, the story begins when a devastating epidemic causes the male population to plummet. This crisis triggers a dramatic gender role reversal. Suddenly, women assume the role of the shogun, ruling from Edo castle and served by an Ooku of three thousand handsome men. While the 2010 movie took place during the era of the eighth shogun, Yoshimune, when this societal shift was already normal, this compelling drama goes back to the very beginning. Acting as an episode zero, it dramatically unfolds the intense schemes, bitter jealousy, and pure love that blossom within the palace walls. Viewers will finally uncover the deep mystery of how this sex-reversed Ooku came to be.
