The 28th episode of the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sunday 8pm and others), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , titled "Sano Sesshou Daimyojin", was broadcast on July 27th, and viewers responded to the appearance of a "curse" scene, following last year's Taiga drama " To Dear Radiance (Hikaru Kimi e)".
"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 28, Ichi (Hio Miyazawa) is slashed by Sano Masayoshi (Yamoto Yuma) inside the castle, losing his life before he can achieve his goal, and Masayoshi also commits seppuku.
Later, while Tsutaju (Yokohama) and others are watching the funeral procession of Ichi through the city, a stone is suddenly thrown, causing chaos, and Daresode (Haruka Fukuhara) runs to protect the coffin. Seeing the haggard and exhausted Daresode, Tsutaju begins to think of a way to clear up the regrets of the late Ichi, but...
One day, Shige (Yamamura Momiji) asks Tsutaju to visit Daresode. There, he finds Daresode trying to put a curse on Masatomo and his family, who are no longer with us, after trying to chase after Ichi but failing to die!
In response to Dare Sode's terrifying words, "I'm going to avenge my enemy and come to your side," viewers responded on social media with comments such as, "Dare Sode is in trouble," "It's broken," and "It's a curse." One after another, comments such as, "Curses were all the rage in last year's taiga drama," "I can't believe I've seen a curse cast two years in a row...!", "Two years in a row of humanities taiga dramas. Two years in a row of curses," "I can't believe I'll see this in an Edo taiga drama," and "It's been a long time since we've seen a curse!!! Lady Akiko, I'm asking Lady Akiko for her guidance" were posted.
