Ritsuko is the only daughter of Ichijo-san, a beloved character who appeared in previous works and is a "famous grandfather" from his hometown of Kamakura.
"Today is the second start of my life," Ritsuko said to Wahei Nagakura ( Kiichi Nakai). "I'm sorry. I'm nervous. What if it doesn't work out, what if I can't use it?" she said.
Wahei gently told Ritsuko, "It's okay. Please don't think that way." However, Ritsuko revealed her strong feelings and got to work, saying, "I want you to be strict with me. I don't like being spoiled or pampered. People say things like, "You're doing a good job because you're an older woman," or, "You're a little cute, so we'll let you off the hook." Or, "You're not getting paid much, so you can't be greedy." Well, it's not really a big deal, so it's just a small amount, but I don't like that sort of thing."
Afterwards, as Ritsuko worked with a smile on her face, Wahei gave her a thumbs up gesture as if to say, "Good job!"
Seeing Wahei like that, Ritsuko said, "Ah, ah..." as if she had pondered something, then she gave him the same thumbs up and flashed a big smile. Then, Ritsuko came running over to Wahei and said with a cheerful look, "By the way, I'm a widow too. Hehe."
On social media, comments such as, "Ishida Hikari running up is so cute", "Ishida Hikari is so charming", "Ishida Hikari suits this kind of role", "Ishida Hikari is falling into the Ishida Hikari swamp. She's too cute", and "Ishida Hikari in Second to Last Love is so cute...!" were posted.
The drama is set in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, and is the third season of the story that depicts the love between a TV station producer played by Koizumi and a city employee played by Nakai. The script was written by Yoshikazu Okada, who also wrote the first season in 2012 and the second season in 2014, and this work depicts the story 11 years after the second season.
