The 23rd episode of the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sunday 8pm and others), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , entitled "I Am the One Who Is the Most Valuable Person in Edo", was broadcast on June 15th, and the words and actions of the character Daresode, played by Haruka Fukuhara, became a hot topic among viewers.
"UNBOUND (Berabou)" is the 64th taiga drama, depicting the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have built the foundations of Japan's media industry and pop culture. The script was written by Yoshiko Morishita, known for "Drama 10 'Ooku'" which was broadcast on NHK two years ago and became a big hit.
At the 23rd competition, Nanpo (Kenta Kiritani ) became known throughout Edo for his kyoka poetry, and Tsutaju (Yokohama) wrote books such as Hama no Kisago, a guide to kyoka poetry, which sold like hotcakes.
Koshodo becomes a popular bookstore in Edo, and Tsutaju is known as the best connoisseur in Edo. At that time, Matsumae Hirotoshi ( Kotaro Satomi ) advises Tsutaju to expand into Nihonbashi. Meanwhile, in the Ezo region, Daresode tries to persuade Matsumae Hirotoshi (Hyorokusan) to buy amber directly from Orosha without going through a merchant.
When Daresode suggested it, Hirotoshi raised his voice and said, "If we do that, it will be considered piracy! It's illegal to trade with a foreign country without permission! If we're not careful, we could be shut out!" and "Don't listen to my instructions, you mere prostitute!"
At this point, Daresode shed tears as if shocked, and suddenly became meek, saying, "If I had that money, I thought I could meet you (Hirotoki) more...", successfully drawing out a response from Hirotoki, "Don't cry. I understand. I'll think about it." Then, taking this opportunity, Daresode embraced Hirotoki and whispered, "Master, please buy me one day," but her eyes were directed at her "favorite," Ichi ( Hio Miyazawa), who was listening intently from the other side of the shoji screen... and so the story unfolded.
On social media, viewers responded with comments such as, "She's crying like a fake," "Amazing acting," "A little devil," and "Hyoroku is being seduced by Main-chan." Comments such as, "The devil is whispering," "Daresode-chan is a bad woman," "This is bad, she's doing it like a prostitute," "This is a cabaret club business," "This is a romance scam," "Honey traps are always scary," and "Be careful of scams where you get bought out." were also posted one after another.
