The ninth episode of the drama series "First Love DOGs" (TBS, Tuesdays at 10 PM), starring actress Kaya Kiyohara, aired on August 26th. The scene in which Yuka (Kyoko Fukada) makes Kosuke (Riku Hagiwara) fall head over heels for her became a hot topic on social media.
◇The following contains spoilers
Kosuke goes to Yuka's dog cafe to check on the new rescue dog, Jiro, where Yuka is conducting job interviews.
Seeing Yuka cheering on the woman interviewing him, saying, "I support your dream of becoming a zookeeper," Kosuke was reminded of himself as a new employee. At the time, Kosuke was feeling down because he had made so many mistakes, but every time he came to the dog cafe, Yuka would encourage him by saying, "You're doing a great job."
After the woman left, Kosuke told Yuka, "You used to encourage me like that too." Looking back on that time, he told her, "That's why I fell in love with you."
Yuka smiled shyly and, holding Kosuke's cheeks tightly with both hands, said with a big smile, "I still think so. Kosuke-kun is doing well." Yuka let go of his hands and gently touched Kosuke's nose, saying, "Well, take good care of Jiro-kun!" before leaving the place.
Seeing Yuka's actions, Kosuke was completely smitten, exclaiming, "I really love her!" On social media, comments such as "What is this devilish Kyoko?", "Kyoko Kyoko is so devilish," "Kyoko Fukada is so cute," "I want Kyoko Kyoko to squish my face," and "It's amazing how Kyoko Kyoko's cuteness hasn't changed since the old days" became a hot topic.
