The seventh episode of the drama series " A Calm Sea and Beautiful Days with You " (Fuji TV, Thursdays at 10pm), starring actress Kyoko Yoshine, was broadcast on June 5th. The scene where Natsumi (Yoshine) asks Takita (Kyouya Honda) for a "matching ring" shocked viewers.
◇The following contains spoilers
Without telling Natsumi, Takimasa bought a wedding ring from Yamazaki (Takezai Terunosuke), a department store order taker. It was a "gimel ring," a ring made of two different rings that become one when stacked.
"If you like this," said Takimasa as he handed Natsumi a box containing a ring. Natsumi was touched and said, "I'll treasure it," but the ring was a little too big.
Natsumi asks Yamazaki to come again to check the ring size, and learns that Takita doesn't wear rings and only has one for himself.
"Matching rings are something every woman dreams of," Yamazaki said, to which Natsumi nodded vigorously. When Yamazaki suggested putting the rings in a small pouch instead of wearing them, she looked at Takitaka with sparkling eyes. Takitaka was initially opposed to the idea of a man wearing a ring, but gave in to Natsumi's request and ordered two rings for each person.
On social media, there were many comments such as, "Am I the only one who thought that Natsumi's surroundings looked really sparkling when she was begging for the ring?!", "Natsumi looking so happy is so cute", "The sound effects accompanying Natsumi's blinks and expressions are too cute, and it's also admirable how Takimasa can't help but give in to his wife's cute request and bend his will to say, 'A ring isn't a real Japanese man...'" and "Takimasa is the best, wanting to do anything to make Natsumi happy."
There were also comments such as, "Gimel rings are going to sell really well this year," and "I have a feeling that Gimel rings will become popular."
