The fourth episode of the NHK drama series "Drama 10 ' Shiawase wa tabete nete mate '" (General TV, Tuesdays at 10pm), starring actress Yuki Sakurai , was broadcast on April 22nd, with Shiori Doi appearing in the role of freelance illustrator Natsuki Komyo.
The drama is based on the manga of the same name by Tori Mizunagi. The main character, who is troubled by various issues such as health, work, apartments, and future plans, regains her mind and body through delicious medicinal food and the gentle human relationships of the housing complex, and realizes the happiness that is close to her and depends on her. It is a heartwarming story that will warm your heart.
In the fourth episode, Koryo (Doi), an illustrator who moved to the housing complex, ends up collaborating with Suzu (Kaga Mariko) through an unexpected turn of events. Suzu sells her sewing work online and encourages Satoko (Sakurai) to take up a side job.
A side job would ease her finances, but there's nothing she can do. But one day, she comes up with the idea of turning a vacant room into a rental room. Then Tsukasa (Hio Miyazawa) brings in Yumi (Nakayama Hinano), a high school student who lives in the housing complex. Satoko is happy that Yumi has become a regular customer, but she also starts to feel stressed. Then, a worry arises. Satoko, who has always been careful to keep her distance from others, decides to take a step forward... and so the story unfolds.
Sakurai and Doi are well known to drama fans as "Ryoko-sama" and "Yone-san" from the Asadora drama "The Tiger and Her Wings " that aired on the same network last year. On social media, viewers responded to their reunion with comments such as "Ah! A reunion!!" "Ryoko-sama and Yone-san!" "Wow, they're acting together again!" and "Judicial buddies lol". There were also comments such as "These two are irresistible for Tiger Wing fans", "I'm happy to see the Tiger Wings duo", and "It feels like The Tiger and Her Wings reunion. I'm just happy to see them acting together."
The episode also drew attention to the words "negative capability" spoken to Satoko by Aoba Otome (Tabata Tomoko), an editor who frequently visits Kara Design, where Satoko works part-time.
Aoba explains it as "the ability to endure situations that are beyond one's control," but Satoko understands it as "the ability to accept one's inability to do something." Viewers also sympathized with the comment, with comments such as "So it's called negative capability!", "I wrote that in my notebook too," "The ability to accept one's inability to do something. That's right...," "I get it... I get it... everyone works hard at their own pace..." and "That's a great way of thinking."
