Drama "Shiawase na Kekkon" Episode 5 spoilers

The fifth episode of the drama series " Shiawase na Kekkon " (TV Asahi, Thursdays 9pm), starring actor Sadao Abe , aired on August 14th, and the sudden change in the attitude of detective Kurokawa (played by Yosuke Sugino) became a hot topic.

◇The following contains spoilers.

The drama is an original story by screenwriter Shizuka Oishi. Bachelor Harada Kotaro (Abe) is attracted to the mysterious high school art teacher Suzuki Nerula (Takako Matsu) and they suddenly get married, but Nerula has a serious secret that has her under police surveillance. Although it is a family drama, it is billed as a "marriage suspense" that questions the love between husband and wife.

In episode 5, Nerla's father, Hiroshi (Danda Yasunori), suddenly begins clutching his stomach in pain, and Nerla, distraught, instinctively calls out for help to Kurokawa, who is standing in front of the house to keep an eye on her. Kotaro becomes jealous of Nerla's decision to ask Kurokawa for help.

Meanwhile, Kurokawa couldn't get the words Nerla had said to him out of his head: "Do you like me? Is that why you want to torture me?" Kotaro also proposes a "team battle" with him, saying, "Let's work together for the woman I love."

Towards the end of the episode, Kurokawa appears before Nerla and declares his determination, saying, "I will find the real culprit. For you," to which Nerla responds, "Please do so." Episode 5 ends with Kurokawa obediently replying, "Yes."

In response to this development, viewers on social media made a series of comments, such as "Huh? Does the detective really like Nerla?", "So his obsession with Nerla is due to romantic feelings?", "Has Kurokawa fallen for him?", "Nerla is the scariest, I have no idea what she's thinking", "No matter what happens, Nerla always seems suspicious. It's like he's got her in the palm of his hand", and "Nerla is a femme fatale."
