The ninth episode of the drama series " Taigan no Kaji ~Kore ga, Watashi no Ikiru Michi~" (TBS, Tuesdays at 10pm), starring actress Mikako Tabe , was broadcast on May 27th. A confession by Ishihara Waka ( Wataru Ichinose), a part-time worker at Torarou's (Ichinose Wataru) izakaya, became a hot topic on social media.
◇The following contains spoilers
Torao had heard from part-time worker Yoshida (Mamoru Hagiwara) that Waka had a crush on Torao. One day, Waka confessed to him, "Manager... I like you, Yoshida!" Torao was taken aback and said, "What? Not me?", but he was relieved.
Meanwhile, Waka said, "If (Yoshida) were to get married, he would like a girl who wants to be a full-time housewife who would do everything for him like the manager's wife. But I could never become that kind of homely type." Torao said, "I don't expect her to do everything for me either. I don't earn enough to be that arrogant in the first place. Unlike Nakatani (Dean Fujioka)."
Torao, who revealed that Nakatani is a dad friend of his wife Shiho (Tabe), explained, "They always seem to play together during the day. At the park. With each other's kids." Waka was shown retorting, "That's not playing, you're letting your kids play!"
On social media, the story became a hot topic, with comments such as, "It's Yoshida, of course lol. Torao had a huge misconception lol," "That's Waka-chan," "She liked Yoshida, not Toraou lol," and "The part-time worker was a good girl! I'm sorry I thought you were trying to have an affair with Torao!"
