The third episode of the drama series " Ubai Ai, Manatsu " (TV Asahi, Sunday 11:15pm *excluding some areas), starring actress Marika Matsumoto , was broadcast on August 8th, depicting a "hellish scene" towards the end.
◇The following contains spoilers.
The drama is a new installment in the "Ubai Ai" series, written by Osamu Suzuki. It tells the story of Umino Manatsu (played by Matsumoto) who falls in forbidden love with Sorachi Taimu (played by Ken Yasuda Ken), a married company president who looks just like her ex-boyfriend, despite her conflicted feelings.
Manatsu and Tokimu are alone during a preliminary inspection for a project to repair a clock at an abandoned school. They jump into the pool with great excitement, finally confirming their feelings for each other, and then, while still soaking wet, they share passionate kisses many times underwater.
However, their happy moment is short-lived. As if they've lost control, Manatsu and Tokimu press their lips together, and when they look to the side, Tokimu's wife, Mirai (Maryjun Takahashi), appears in close proximity, smiling with an unfathomable smile.
"I've been watching you this whole time!" Mirai's sad cry echoes through the pool. Manatsu freezes, eyes wide open, and Tokiyume screams as if the world is ending. The episode ends with a shocking twist.
In the fourth episode, which will be broadcast on August 15th next week, Mirai launches her revenge as the legal wife. She invites Manatsu and Tokimu to a sea bream shabu-shabu dinner, and the two of them end up sitting around a "dining table from hell" that feels like a bed of nails. To make matters worse, Mirai makes an "outrageous request" to Manatsu.
