Live-action drama introduction:
Koichi Asakura struggles with the limitations of his own talent but still hangs on to the dream of one day becoming a “somebody.” Meanwhile, Eren Yamagishi is a tremendously gifted artist who must deal with the pain and loneliness that comes from being a genius. These two have a fateful encounter in high school and will eventually go their separate ways – one as a designer in a major advertising agency and the other as an artist based in New York. A mediocre talent and a genius; the two opposites go through failures and setbacks as they try to discover who they really are.
