It has been announced that filming has wrapped up for the TV drama " Shiawase na Kekkon " (TV Asahi, Thursdays 9pm), in which actor Sadao Abe plays a married couple with Takako Matsu . The final scene was just the two of them, with Abe saying, "I'm glad I got to act with Matsu," and Matsu saying, "There were so many times when Abe helped me, and I'm grateful."
Abe, who finished filming safely, was skeptical and said, "Is it really over?... I feel like there's still more to do, like a podcast or a spin-off (laughs), so I want to make sure it's really finished," but smiled and said, "Is it really over?! I'm happy to have finished it with Matsu-san." Matsu commented, "I feel lonely, but I also feel a strong sense of relief. I was very happy to have finished it with a scene with Abe-san."
The two showed off their well-coordinated acting skills and engaged in hilarious conversation during the podcast, fully displaying their friendship. Abe reiterated Matsu's charm, saying, "Nera (Matsu) is funny. Matsu has a lot of facial expressions, so it was fun to be confused by her mysterious expressions, wondering 'Is she angry?'" Matsu reflected on the filming, saying, "You could almost feel the breath of (scriptwriter) Oishi (Shizu) in each character. As we approached the final episode, the characters that Oishi created and the moods that we had been acting in blended together, which I think is something you can only get from a serial drama. It was difficult, but I thought it was interesting."
Furthermore, Matsu expressed her gratitude, saying, "There were many scenes and times when I thought, 'I'm glad Abe was there,' so it was fun. There were many times when he helped me by making me try to feel and understand small sounds or something that I could explain but didn't want to, and I'm grateful for that." Abe responded, "I didn't ask for advice or anything, but I was always grateful. I was hesitant at the beginning, so I'm glad I got to act with Matsu." Although they were blushing, they both expressed their gratitude to each other.
" Shiawase na Kekkon" wrapped up filming with the same feelings, typical of the two people who are bound by a strong bond of trust. In the seventh episode, which will air on August 28th, Kou (Reo Tamaoki) turns himself in to the police as the culprit in the murder of Nuse Yuto (Takashi Okabe) 15 years ago. He decided to come forward after learning that suspicion was once again falling on his niece Nella (Takako Matsu) as the case reopens. Leo, who looked up to Kou like a mother, is deeply shocked... and the story unfolds.
