The sixth episode of the TV drama series "Memono" starring actress Kumiko Aso(TV Asahi, Friday 11:15pm *excluding some regions) was broadcast on May 30th, and the main character Ayame (Aso)'s "counter punch" became a hot topic.
◇The following contains spoilers.
The drama is a joint production between TV Asahi and South Korea's SLL, which has produced global hits such as "Itaewon Class," and is a suspense story about a lone lawyer, Ayame, who falls in forbidden love with Toya (Akihisa Shiono), who is a suspect in a murder case.
Although Ayame forgives Toya for his violent behavior again, she feels fear and is exhausted by the day. Furthermore, she is shocked to learn that Toya continues to search for his wife, Natsune (Kita Kana), who ran away.
Ayame had endured, forgiven, and even apologized to her boyfriend for the domestic violence she suffered, but her emotions finally exploded. She slapped him in anger and punched him, leaving Touya dumbfounded by her unexpected counterattack.
Ayame decides to end her love for Touya. She asks Natsune for help, and the "affair partner" and "legal wife" conspire to expose her abusive husband Touya for his past violence. Touya is arrested by the police, howling with sadness and anger... and that is how the story ends.
However, in the preview for next week's episode 7 (to be broadcast on June 6th), it is revealed that Touya has been released and will begin to take revenge on the women who betrayed him. The synopsis states, "Suspicious harassment begins to occur repeatedly around Ayame. Creepy flowers arrive at her office, the interior of her apartment is ransacked... The days of love that were supposed to be a total turnaround, and Ayame becomes frightened by Touya's relentless revenge."
