The sixth episode of the drama series " Taigan no Kaji ~Kore ga, Watashi no Ikiru Michi~" (TBS, Tuesdays at 10pm), starring actress Mikako Tabe , aired on May 6th. Shiho Murakami (Tabe)'s husband, the manager of an izakaya restaurant, Tora ( Wataru Ichinose), became a hot topic on social media.
◇The following contains spoilers
Ishihara Waka (Nishino Nagisa), a part-time worker at an izakaya, asks Torarou, "Why is the manager's wife a full-time housewife?" When Torarou asks, "Why do you mean 'why'?", Waka responds, "Isn't it a luxury to want to be a full-time housewife these days? It seems like you're just being dependent on a man."
"What? Are you complaining about my wife?"
When Torarou calmly tells her, Waka panics and says, "Oh, no, it's not like that." "I just... No, it's nothing! Come on," she says angrily, and leaves the place.
Later, Torao heard from part-time worker Akira Yoshida (Mamoru Hagiwara) that Waka was feeling down because "I made the manager angry." When Torao revealed his exchange with Waka, saying "She complained about my wife," Yoshida responded, "That's just jealousy, Ishihara-san."
"No way," Torarou laughs. However, he becomes anxious when he finds out that Waka has feelings for Torarou.
On social media, comments such as "Torao is so cool and loves his wife even behind the scenes!", "Torao's stock is really rising. He loves his wife and daughter so much," "Torao is a great husband! I can see why he falls in love," "Torao is cute but can be manly at times," and "He's got his eye on him, Torao, watch out!" were posted one after another.
