 A producer at a key station says that the current season is characterized by a polarization between large-scale productions that are as good as foreign dramas and distributed productions, and low-cost productions that have a smaller cast and spend less money on filming.
 The distribution of &#8220;Forest&#8221; (TV Asahi) has been strong. It has been a hit for a long time for a film produced by ABC, a quasi-key station. We can see a future where dramas produced by small stations will be viewed around the world, such as the Korean drama &#8220;Woo Yeon Woo is a Genius.
 The dramas introduced here are all No. 1 &#8220;must-see&#8221; dramas of the season. The ratings are all on a par with each other. As Japanese drama productions make money in the world, high-quality dramas with even higher production costs can be viewed for free.
