Dear Radiance:Shocking ending leaves viewers screaming. Just as Zhou Ming says "There's something I want to say," he is suddenly stabbed. "I never thought it would end up like this..."

The 46th episode of the NHK Taiga drama "Dear Radiance (Hikaru Kimi e)" (General TV, Sunday 8pm and others), starring Yoshitaka Yuriko, titled "The Invasion of the Toi", was broadcast on December 1st, and the shocking ending caused viewers to scream. In the 46th episode, Mahiro (Yoshitaka) sets off on her long-awaited journey and arrives at Dazaifu, where her late husband worked. There, she is reunited with Shumei (Matsushita Kohei), whom she had once separated from in Echizen, and he tells her the truth about his disappearance. After that, Mahiro visits the government office with Shumei, who works as an interpreter. There, she discovers Sojumaru (Ito Kentaro) among the warriors training. Furthermore, she is told by the Dazai Gonsoushi Takaie (Ryusei Ryo) that Michinaga (Emoto Tasuku) has given her certain instructions. Meanwhile, an emergency that shakes the country... unfolds. Towards the end of the episode, Shumei tells Mahiro, who is about to continue on her journey, "When you have accomplished your dream in Matsuura, please come back to Dazaifu. There is something I want to tell you then." Immediately after that, Mahiro and his friends are surrounded by foreigners who have been chasing the villagers, and they are in a life-threatening situation. Sojumaru and others appear and they manage to escape the sword fight, but the moment Shumei reaches out to help Mahiro, who has stumbled, an arrow flies into his chest and "pierces" him. Shumei falls on his back and the episode ends. On social media, viewers responded with comments such as "Aa ... The script was written by Oishi Shizuka, who is writing a taiga drama for the second time since "Koumyo ga Tsuji" in 2006, and depicts the glittering world of Heian aristocrats and the life of a woman who lived, wrote and loved with all her heart.
