UNBOUND:Kokoro Terada was in the preview for the next episode! The wise future "Matsudaira Sadanobu" was on screen for just a moment, but he was a hot topic, with people saying, "He's so dignified!"

The NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND " (General TV, Sunday 8:00 pm and others), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , started on January 5th. After the main story of the first episode, "Arigatayama no Kangarasu", a preview of the second episode, "Yoshiwara Sasami 'Ahh Oedo'", which will be broadcast on the 12th next week, was released, and Kokoro Terada's appearance attracted attention.

"UNBOUND" is the 64th taiga drama, depicting the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have built the foundations of Japan's media industry and pop culture. The script was written by Yoshiko Morishita, known for "Drama 10 'Ooku'" which was broadcast on NHK two years ago and became a big hit.

This will be Terada's first appearance in a taiga drama in eight years since "Naotora: The Lady Warlord" in 2017. He will play the role of Tayasu Kenmaru, the seventh son of the Tayasu Tokugawa family, one of the "Gosankyo" (three branches of the Tokugawa clan), and later "Matsudaira Sadanobu," who carried out the "Kansei Reforms."

He was intelligent from an early age, and because his elder brothers were in poor health, he was seen as the successor to the Tayasu family and the 10th Shogun, Ieharu, at a young age. He was adopted into the Mutsu Shirakawa Domain and moved away from the center of the Shogunate, but after the downfall of Tanuma Okitsugu, he became a senior councilor at the order of the 11th Shogun, Ienari, and carried out the Kansei Reforms. During the Kansei Reforms, he imposed severe punishment on Tsutaya Juzaburo to crack down on public morals...

Although he was only seen for a moment in the preview for the second episode, viewers reacted on social media with comments such as, "Kokoro Terada was there...?", "Kokoro Terada will be appearing next week!", "I can't wait," and "Kokoro Terada looks so manly in the preview for the next episode!!!!!!!!!!!!"
