The 32nd episode of the NHK Taiga drama " UNBOUND (Berabou) " (General TV, Sundays at 8pm and others), starring actor Ryusei Yokohama , entitled "Shinnosuke no Gi," was broadcast on August 24th, and the average viewership rating (according to Video Research, Kanto region, same below) was 9.2% for households and 5.3% for individuals.
" UNBOUND (Berabou)" is the 64th taiga drama and depicts the life of Tsutaya Juzaburo(or "Tsutajyu" for short), who is said to have laid the foundations for Japan's media industry and pop culture. The script was written by Yoshiko Morishita, who is known for her work on the highly talked-about "Drama 10: Ooku," which aired on NHK two years ago.
In the 32nd episode, the three main families submit a letter of opinion recommending Sadanobu (Inoue Yuki) as the new senior councilor, but Mizuno Tadatomo (Komatsu Kazushige) and Matsudaira Yasufuku (Aijima Kazuyuki) from the Tanuma faction work hard to get Okitsugu(Ken Watanabe), who continues to be suspended, back into the castle, and Okitsugu is once again allowed to enter the castle.
Meanwhile, Tsutae (Yokohama) visits Shinnosuke (Inowaki Kai) and learns that relief rice has been distributed.
Tsutae claims that this is because Okitsugu's measures have been successful, but the residents of the tenement house are angry and resentful of him for having profited from the Tanuma era. Furthermore, another commotion breaks out over the rice... and so the story unfolds.
