Who are the popular actors that Ryohei Suzuki felt he could not lose to?

Suzuki played the main character of an emergency room doctor in the TBS Sunday drama "TOKYO MER: Running Emergency Room," and showed his superb hand-eye coordination in the surgery scenes. He has been known for his thorough preparation for his roles, and his 2015 role in "The Emperor's Chef," in which he lost 20 kilograms for the role of an ill patient, was also a topic of discussion.

　That was the first Sunday drama I was cast in, and it was the drama that left me with the original experience of Sunday dramas," said Suzuki, looking back. I wondered how much practice he had to get this way.

　It was an experience that instilled in me the awareness that Sunday theater should go this far. Even in "TOKYO MER," I knew that I couldn't let Ken's knife work get the better of me.

　As for the fact that he himself lost 20 kg for the film, he said, "Of course, it's one thing to look convincing, but you have to believe that you look the way you do and that you are sick. It must be clumsy. (If I don't go that far), I can't believe that I'm sick," he said. (Masato Okura)
