The 24th episode of the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , titled "Getokinaki wa Nihonbashi", was broadcast on June 22nd, and the words and actions of Matsumae Matsumae Michihiro , the eighth head of the Matsumae family played by Kazuki Enari , became a hot topic.
" 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.
In episode 24, Tsutaju (Yokohama) begins preparing to buy a shop in Nihonbashi with the support of the Yoshiwara bosses. However, Maruya's boss (AI Hashimoto) does not accept Tsutaju, a Yoshiwara brothel owner, and refuses to sell the shop.
Tsutaju asks Tosaku (Kimura Ryo) and Shigemasa (Jun Hashimoto) if there is any solution... Meanwhile, Daresode (Haruka Fukuhara Hio Miyazawa Hio) then connects Tosaku and Hirotoshi (Hyoroku) and tries to tempt them with a direct deal for amber.
In the second half of the story, Michihiro, who came to Yoshiwara with Hirotoshi, called Daimonji (played by Atsushi Ito) into the room and said that someone had tried to tempt Hirotoshi, and brought up the idea of a direct deal for amber. Just as Daimonji was about to ask for forgiveness, Michihiro said something unexpected, saying, "Why don't you and I do it together? The idea is that the Matsumae family and Yoshiwara can make a lot of money from amber together," surprising Daimonji.
On social media, people responded with comments such as, "They caught a big fish!", "Oh, that's how it went? Really?", and "In the Ezo part, an unexpected big fish gets caught on the hook." On the other hand, some viewers were skeptical, saying, "The guy has a scary smile," "He didn't catch it, he was lured in," and "Hmm, did he get on board with it, or was it a trap?" and "What kind of trap is it, and to what extent is Lord Jisei involved?", "Hmm, did he get on board with it, or was it a trap?" and "It's definitely a trap!!!!" were also raised one after another.
