Oricon now asked the public about the actors and actresses that are able to turn a normal dorama into a so-called "epic dorama." Surprisingly there’s an actress who made it on the list and more surprisingly she even made it onto the first place. See it for yourself, the "Top 10 of Actors that are necessary to make an Epic Dorama".
