Although it is a romantic drama, I think it was a "men's drama".
Last week's broadcast starring Hana Sugisaki, "It's love! ~ Yankee-kun to Shirokan Girl ~ ”(NTV) Episode 7
A romantic comedy by Yukiko Akaza (Sugisaki), a girl with low vision who lives with a white cane when she goes out, and Morio Kurokawa (Yosuke Sugino), a bad boy who has a quick fight but has pure roots.
The average household audience rating starts at 8.8% for episode 1 and 8.6% for episode 7. From the 2nd episode to the 6th episode, it goes back and forth between the 8% range and the 9% range, and it is a stable number without a big collapse. The fixed fan is probably attached firmly. (* Audience rating is according to Video Research / Kanto area)
In fact, in the "Drama Satisfaction Ranking" that the Oricon Group is researching for viewers nationwide, the people who are actually watching it have won the first place three times in total up to the sixth episode. It can be seen that the evaluation from is high.
Yukiko and Morio are officially dating each other. In the sixth episode of the weekly broadcast last week, it progressed to a kiss.
And in episode 7 of last week's broadcast, Yukiko, Morio, and Morio's rival, Nobuyuki Suzuki, will celebrate the birthday of Yukiko's sister (Nao). However, Yukiko's father (Goro Kishitani), who was supposed to be absent on a business trip, suddenly returned, and Morio, who met for the first time, went back and forth.
■ Pay attention to Nobuyuki Suzuki's acting and appearances played by the Lion King
Episode 7 was a masculine and fascinating episode of the Lion King and Yukiko's father.
The Lion King is the one who scratched Morio's face, but in fact he is secretly in love with Morio. However, while keeping that feeling in my heart, I support the Morio / Yukiko couple. When a little awkward air flowed because of his father who couldn't welcome the relationship between the two, the Lion King tried to calm the place by giving a "Morio quiz".
Then, when the topic shifts to the scratches on Morio's face, he regrets and moistens his eyes, saying, "Morio, be happy. That's my dream."
The ale that concealed her own love and conveyed it was sadly her heart-warming.
After seeing the exchange between Morio and the Lion King, his father stopped being enthusiastic about Hen and gave Yukiko and Morio a wonderful surprise at a later date.
When Yukiko hears her dream, "I want to see her face. Kurokawa's face. I don't know where the mole is," the photographer's father calls Yukiko and Morio to the studio.
There is a photo of Morio's face, which is oversized, which is much taller than Yukiko. It was a gift prepared so that even Yukiko with low vision, who could recognize large letters using a loupe, could find the location of Morio's mole.
From the father's point of view, his important daughter's boyfriend must have been uninteresting, but he can trust Morio by seeing the exchange between Yukiko and Morio and the friendship between Morio and the Lion King. He must have admitted that he was a man.
By the way, the feature of this work is that all the characters involved in Yukiko and Morio become “good people”.
At first, her sister was very opposed to Yankee Morio approaching Yukiko, and Hachiko (Meru Nukumi), who had a crush on Morio, was angry with Yukiko. .. These two people are now supporting Yukiko and Morio and watching them warmly.
The reason is that the love between Yukiko and Morio is straight and sparkling, so I think she will be inspired by her pure preciousness and become a “good person”.
Just as my father chained to the feelings of the Lion King this time, the warm aura emitted by Yukiko and Morio steadily involved the surrounding characters, and the atmosphere in the play was transmitted to the viewers as well. It may be a popular secret.
As an aside, Nobuyuki Suzuki, who plays the lion king who showed a man this time, has appeared regularly in three serial dramas in this term alone.
"A Bad Boy Drinks Tea," which is being broadcast on Thursday midnight. 』(TV Tokyo series) is starring. The role played here is also a Yankee-style role called "devil".
On the other hand, in "Radiation House II-Radiology Diagnosis Report" (Fuji TV series) broadcast on Monday night, the atmosphere is completely changed and the role of an orthopedic surgeon in Bonbon is performed well.
It is not uncommon for hot-selling actors to appear in two films at the same time, but in the case of Suzuki, three films including the lead role. This is quite unusual, and it seems that Suzuki's demand is high in the current drama industry.
――I'm still worried about the future of the Lion King who plays Suzuki, "It's love! ~ Yankee-kun and the White Cane Girl ~ ”Episode 8 will be broadcast tonight.
