The synopsis for the fourth episode (to be broadcast on August 10th) of the Sunday Theatre drama " The 19th medical record " (Sundays at 9pm), starring Jun Matsumoto , has been released. Actors Hamano Kenta and Kurashina Kana will play a husband and wife who suffer from diabetes, a lifestyle-related disease.
Kurashina, who will be making her Sunday Theatre debut, plays Anjo Sachi, a strong-willed wife who supports her diabetic husband. After six months have passed and the test results have not improved, she complains to the hospital.
Hamano plays Anjo Kota, the diabetic husband. Kota is a quiet character who doesn't assert himself. Even after his diabetes is discovered, he seems somewhat reluctant to get treatment, and his attitude as if it's someone else's problem irritates Sachi.
The drama is based on the manga " The 19th medical record Tokushige's Medical Interview" by Katsuhito Fujiya. It depicts a general practitioner who not only treats illnesses but also lends a hand to patients' lifestyles. This is Matsumoto's first time playing a doctor, and the cast also includes Fuka Koshiba and Mackenyu. The script is written by Aya Tsubota, who has also written the "Kounodori" series (same channel).
◇ Synopsis of Episode 4
After being diagnosed with diabetes during a health check, Anjo Kota (Hamano Kenta) is currently undergoing treatment at an internal medicine clinic accompanied by his wife, Sachi (Kurashina Kana). Sachi has been supporting her husband by strictly managing his diet and accompanying him to every hospital visit, but even after six months, Kota's test results have not improved at all. Moreover, Kota himself seems somewhat unconcerned and is reluctant to undergo treatment. Growing increasingly frustrated, Sachi finally complains to the hospital, claiming that his doctor, Shikayama (Hiroya Shimizu), is giving him poor guidance.
Meanwhile, Shikayama, who hates trouble, says, "I can't stand it if my reputation is lowered because of something like this," and decides to hand over the Anjo couple's medical examinations to the general medical department! However, when Tokushige (Jun Matsumoto) receives the request, he proposes something completely unexpected: that Shikayama examine the husband, Kota, and Takino (Fuka Koshiba) examine the wife, Sachi. However, Takino does not get along with Shikayama, who seems to look down on general medical doctors, and an argument ensues. Meanwhile, the rift between the Anjo couple only widens...!
