The third episode of the TV drama series "Mammono" (TV Asahi, Friday 11:15pm *excluding some regions), starring actress Kumiko Aso, was broadcast on May 2nd, and the shocking development in the last three minutes became a hot topic.
◇The following contains spoilers.
The drama is a joint production between TV Asahi and SLL, a Korean production company that has produced global hits such as "Itaewon Class." This is a love suspense drama in which a lone lawyer, Ayame (played by Aso), falls in forbidden love with Toya (played by Akihisa Shiono), who becomes a suspect in a murder case.
In the third episode, Ayame was shown spending sweet moments with Touya, who is married, and gradually becoming immersed in forbidden love. However, there was a sudden development at the end. Perhaps out of jealousy, Touya suddenly threw Ayame to the floor and punched her when she returned home late from a dinner party. Then, Ayame was frightened by Touya's mad screams and could only sob. Also, at the end, it was depicted that Touya was the culprit who attacked Ayame's senior lawyer, Konno (Koji Okura).
Viewers were quick to respond to Touya's sudden change from his gentle personality on social media, with comments such as, "I can't keep up with his sudden violence," "That's so gruesome," "He suddenly turns into an abusive man! That's scary," "He's a dangerous guy...," "It's traumatic to see someone change like that so suddenly," and "The difference between Touya's gentle face and his cold face is so great that his danger really stands out. Akihisa Shiono's performance is incredible."
