The final episode of the drama "The Kidnapping Day" features the actions of the ruthless man, "Samezu" Eishin, becoming a hot topic

The final episode (episode 9) of the TV drama series "The Kidnapping Day" (TV Asahi, Tuesdays 9pm), starring actor Saito Takumi, was broadcast on September 2nd, and Samezu (Eishin)'s actions became a hot topic.

◇The following contains spoilers.

Based on a hit Korean drama, the film follows Shinjo Masamune (Saito), who becomes a kidnapper to pay for his daughter's heart surgery, and Nanase Rin (Yuno Nagao), a genius girl with amnesia whose parents were murdered. As they get closer to the truth of the case, they become embroiled in a battle over a "drug that creates geniuses," to which Rin's existence holds the key.

Samezu is portrayed as a ruthless bodyguard for Kevin Fukuzumi (Kosuke Suzuki), who is after Rin. In the final episode, the police raid Kevin's group's base and round up all of them, but instead of helping Kevin, Samezu takes the hand that Rin was holding and, remembering Masamune's words, "Let's have a drink when everything is settled," takes a sip of champagne. Samezu then offers his own hand and is arrested without resistance.

Viewers on social media responded to Samezu's actions with comments such as, "This guy who had been so violent since the first episode was holding Rin's hand, drinking the promised drink with Masamune, and holding out both his hands...that was the moment I cried," "Samezu's heart was really moved too... Masamune is amazing," "I guess his heart was moved as he pursued Masamune," and "Of course he's still evil, but I think somewhere he admired the relationship between Rin and Masamune, or maybe he sensed some kind of light in it."
