Japanese TV drama series concludes after surpassing 30 million views

A Japanese TV drama has ended after becoming one of the most-watched shows of the year. "Until the T-Shirt Dries," a ten-episode series on TBS, finished its run on September 11. It collected over 30 million streaming views before the finale aired. The story follows two middle-class couples in Tokyo whose lives change after a traffic accident. One person dies and another goes missing. Writer Miku Ubukata created the script. The cast includes Yu Aoi as a bridal magazine editor and Kenichi Matsuyama as a cafe owner. Within one month of its July 10 debut, a popular blogging site named it the most talked-about terrestrial drama in Japan.
