The 43rd episode of the NHK morning drama "Omusubi" starring Kanna Hashimoto was broadcast on November 27th, and the sudden change in Yui's (Hashimoto) classmate "Morimori" Morikawa Manabu (Shinya Kote) became a hot topic among viewers.
In the 43rd episode, at Kobe Nutrition College where Yui attends, students played the role of hospitalized patients and their nutritionists, and conducted a mock counseling session. Sakuraba (Aibu Saki), the homeroom teacher, chose Kasumi (Taira Yuna) and Morikawa, and told them to "do it seriously." When Kasumi, who played the role of a patient, asked Morikawa, who was playing the role of a nutritionist, "Why did you leave the hospital food behind?", Morikawa replied sarcastically, "Because it's not tasty!" Kasumi was overwhelmed by the intensity of the performance, but Sakuraba told her to continue, saying, "Keep going! Look, there are all kinds of people in the hospital." When Kasumi asked, "Which one didn't taste good?" Morikawa responded with a loud voice, "Everything! Everything! It doesn't taste good, it looks ugly, huh? Did you make this, sis?" and performed a convincing performance. When Kasumi said, "I'm sorry, teacher. I'll give up," Morikawa returned to her normal self and explained, "I was in the drama club when I was a student, so when it comes to acting, I just do it."
On social media, the usually calm Morikawa's convincing performance drew comments such as, "Kote-san is showing off his true colors too much lol," "Stop being so serious lol," "The impact was too strong," "I really laughed out loud," and "Morimori is the best today too!"
