The second episode of the Monday 9pm drama " 119 Emergency Call " (Fuji TV, Monday 9pm) starring actress Nana Seino was broadcast on January 20th. The past of the command and control officer Kaneshita, played by Koji Seto, was revealed, becoming a hot topic on social media.
The drama is an original story set in a fire department's communications command center, depicting the real lives of command and control officers.
Kaneshita was a firefighter until two years ago. Having witnessed the pain of not even having a proper photo of one's family, he once went back to retrieve a photo from a fire scene. However, due to his actions, a junior colleague who was trying to help him was seriously injured. The junior quit his job, saying, "If I can't stay in the fire brigade, there's no point," and Kaneshita, feeling responsible, left the scene.
When Kasuhara Yuki (Kiyono) asked about the accident, Kaneshita replied, "The actions I took during that fire crossed the line as a firefighter. It caused chaos at the scene and ruined other people's lives. Everyone should do what they have to do, within the scope of what they should do. No one should go beyond that. If you are swayed by ideals, a sense of justice, or what Kasuhara calls imagination, then you and those around you will only end up exhausted."
On social media, comments such as, "I can't believe Kaneshita-san had such a tragic past..." and "Kaneshita-kun, so you had a past like that. That must be painful and difficult for you" were posted.
For a long time, Kaneshita was unable to tell his elementary school-aged son (played by Takagi Haru) that he was no longer a firefighter. However, when his son came to visit his workplace, he happened to see Kaneshita working as a command and control officer. When Kaneshita and his son met, he was shown to show a gentle smile.
On social media, there were many comments such as, "I'm glad I got to show my son how cool I am," "I was so happy to see Kaneshita-san's smile at the end. He's such a great dad," and "I was struck by the smile Kaneshita-san gave his son who came to watch."
