The sixth episode of the TV drama "Private Banker" (TV Asahi, Thursdays 9pm) starring Toshiaki Karasawa was broadcast on February 13th.
The drama is an original work that focuses on a private banker who advises the wealthy on asset management and creation, and is a thrilling money suspense story in which Anno (Karasawa), a highly skilled private banker, solves the various financial problems of the wealthy Amaguji family.
In this episode, Anno suddenly takes off his glasses and puts his face close to his assistant Kumiko (Honami Suzuki). It seems like a romantic development, but Anno was just looking closely at her face to see if Kumiko and Mikoshiba (Shuhei Uesugi), another assistant, could go undercover as siblings. Surprised, Kumiko lets out a ridiculous cry.
Viewers responded to this scene on social media with comments such as, "A rare heart-pounding scene from Anno," "He makes it seem like the start of a romance, but then he chooses siblings lol," "A sudden development in a love story (lol)," and "There's no way they're going to kiss lol."
