What happens

《春之波濤》(日語:春の波涛),是NHK於1985年1月6日-12月15日製播的第23部大河劇,全50回。松坂慶子主演,也繼《女太閤記》後再次以女性人物在大河劇擔任主角。 本劇以杉本苑子的《冥府回廊》、《貞奴夫人》為原著,由中島丈博編劇,是大河劇「近現代三部作」的第二部(前一部是上年度的山河燃燒,後一部是下年度的命)。本劇是以「日本第一號女演員」川上貞奴為中心演出的群像劇,企圖演出明治與大正時期的眾生相。劇中人物還包括貞奴之夫川上音二郎、與貞奴戀愛的福澤桃介(福澤諭吉女婿,被稱為「電力王」),以及貞奴在藝妓時代的交往對象伊藤博文等等。雖然登場人物相當廣泛,但收視率並不高(平均收視率18.2%,最高收視率24.7%)。本劇曾牽扯著作權問題而長年進行官司訴訟,最後NHK勝訴,本劇得以重播以及DVD化,並於2007年11月起再次播出。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
