Once established as a queen of Japanese dramas with classic works such as "Anego" and "Haken no Hinkaku," acclaimed Japanese actress Ryoko Shinohara ended her 16-year marriage with actor Masachika Ichimura, who is 24 years her senior, in 2021. Not long after the divorce, she was embroiled in an extramarital affair scandal. At the time, media reports alleged that Ryoko Shinohara had an affair during her marriage, causing her image to collapse overnight. NTV, a longtime collaborator, put her on ice, and her showbiz career effectively came to a halt.
According to Japanese media reports, Ryoko Shinohara has recently broken the ice with NTV and will participate in the new medical drama "DOCTOR PRICE." However, her remuneration is now only a quarter of what it was at the peak of her career, and her income is far less than before. She also filmed a new drama "YIPS" in June, but whether she can regain her former status as a top star remains to be seen.
