The ninth 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 19th.

◇The following contains spoilers
Yoko and her younger brother Shuichi (Ishizuka Rikuto) meet Fukami (Koseki Yuta), who is in the middle of an arranged marriage with her older sister. The purpose of the meeting was to see if Fukami was suitable for her older sister. "Depending on his response, I will advise my father to decline the marriage proposal," she prefaced the conversation, and asked him why he chose her older sister.
"I explained to my parents that (Fumiko) was someone worthy of being entrusted with the house, but I guess I just wanted to talk to them and get to know them better. That's why I'm so envious of you guys who know Fumiko so well."
Hearing Fukami's reply, Hiiragiichi sensed his feelings for Fumiko and said happily, "We know everything about you, big sister," but Yoko said spitefully, "I won't tell you, though."
Through her interactions with Fukami, Yoko naturally started to pout, thinking to herself, "This guy seems a bit suspicious!" Seeing this, Fukami laughed happily and said, "She's the kind of girl whose thoughts show on her face."
On social media, there were many comments such as, "Fumiko's sister is very good at facial expressions," "Fumiko's sister is funny because she has all the emotions lol. Her brother seemed to have accepted her from the beginning lol," and "She captured my heart on her first appearance. Fumiko's sister and brother were great! The younger sister in particular was cheeky and cute."
Some viewers were reminded of the TV drama series "Dr. Chocolate" (Nippon Television Network), in which Hakusan starred, which will be broadcast in 2023, with some saying, "Is Fumiko's sister the one from Dr. Chocolate?! She'll grow up..."
