The fourth episode of the drama series "Kimi no Suki wa Muteki" (TBS, Tuesdays at 10 PM), starring actress Wakana Matsumoto and featuring Hayato Sano of the popular group "M!LK," aired on August 4th. The sudden events that befell Anna, played by Matsumoto, caused a stir on social media.
◇The following contains spoilers.
Anna was absolutely smitten with her newly created character. She was determined to make a plush toy of it and make it a huge hit. Her boyfriend, Mugi (played by Satoshi Kanada), called her several times, but she didn't call him back, prioritizing her new character above all else.
One night, Mugi was waiting for Anna on her way home. Anna apologized for not being able to call back. But Mugi unilaterally broke up with her, saying, "Anna, let's break up. Or rather, I want to break up. I've fallen in love with someone else."
Anna was taken aback by the sudden offer, but a woman (Yuka Sugai) quickly came over to Mugi's side, and she understood the situation she was in. "That's how it is, sorry," Mugi said, and took the woman away.
On social media, comments such as "A breakup...! It's too sudden," "What a cruel way to break up," "Mugi, that's not fair," "My heart aches at this sudden breakup. Ugh," "I wanted them to be happy together forever," "Isn't this a bit too messy a breakup?" and "A guy who gets a new girlfriend before properly breaking up is unbelievable and untrustworthy, so breaking up was the right decision" spread.
