The second episode of the TBS Tuesday drama "Jaa, Anta ga Tsukutte Miro yo It" (Tuesdays at 10pm), co-starring actors Kaho and Ryoma Takeuchi, aired on October 14th. The final development surrounding Katsuo (played by Takeuchi) became a hot topic.
◇The following contains spoilers
The story is based on the manga of the same name by Natsuko Taniguchi, which is currently being serialized in the digital comic magazine Comic Tanto (Bunkasha). Yamagishi Ayumi (Kaho), who always puts her lover first, and Ebihara Katsuo, who has a patriarchal mentality, have been dating since their university days. After living together, Katsuo proposed marriage, but Ayumi's response was an unexpected "no." Through cooking for himself, Katsuo reexamines the things he took for granted and grows as a person.
Katsuo stands in the kitchen every day trying to recreate "Ayumi's Chikuzenni," but is unable to come up with anything that satisfies him. He invites his junior colleagues, Shirasaki (Maehara Mizuki) and Minamigawa (Kyoka), over to his house and the three of them spend time together, when Ayumi comes to return her room key. Shirasaki invites him over, saying, "Why don't we go for curry while we're here?", and Ayumi ends up joining them.
The conversation turned to how to make Chikuzenni, and Shirasaki, finding some granulated soup stock in the kitchen, asked Ayumi if she had used it in making Chikuzenni. However, Ayumi said, "Sorry. I'm going home," and left the room.
Katsuo chases after Ayumi with granulated soup stock in hand, but in the park he sees her embracing Minato (Yuzu Aoki), a liquor store owner. He quickly hides behind a tree and secretly watches what is happening, but the moment a dog barks, he loses his balance and falls.
On social media, the incident became a hot topic, with comments such as, "Ahhh! What bad timing!", "It was heartbreaking to see Katsuo peeking in with a dashi granule in one hand and falling over," "Ebi Katsu-kun is so cute as he crumbles while clutching the dashi granule," "Takeuchi Ryoma's expression was great as he fell over while clutching the dashi granule," and "I love Katsuo and Ayumi so much that I'm already hoping the final episode won't come."
