The third episode of the TBS Tuesday drama "Jaa, Anta ga Tsukutte Miro yo It" (Tuesdays at 10 PM), starring actors Kaho and Takeuchi Ryoma, aired on October 21st. Viewers expressed concern about Kaho's character, Yamagishi Ayumi.
◇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, who always puts her lover first, and Ebihara Katsuo (played by Takeuchi), 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.
Ayumi was embraced by Minato (Yuzu Aoki), but they had not yet confessed their love to each other, leaving their relationship ambiguous. In order to break free from this relationship, Ayumi was determined to make him confess his feelings, and headed out on a date.
In the past, Ayumi would typically wear a cute dress on dates, but on this day she went on a date wearing her favorite light blue hoodie and pants. "Maybe I should have worn a dress after all," she worries, but Minato reassures her, saying, "You look stylish and cute today too."
Ayumi accompanied Minato, who loves sweets, and ate dumplings, crepes, cream puffs, etc. In fact, she doesn't like sweet things, but without telling Minato, she told herself, "I have to hold back if it means I can see that smile."
Ayumi asks Minato what he thinks of her, but he only replies, "I think we get along really well," and never says the word "like." Shocked, Ayumi ends the date on her own.
Afterwards, Ayumi's friend Nagisa (Saya) advised her, "Communicating is a step towards understanding each other. There's no need to hold back." She told Minato about her feelings and that she doesn't like sweet things. The two started dating, but Ayumi returned to cooking and waiting for him at home, just like before...
On social media, people were talking about how the situation was not a date if her goal was to get someone to confess their feelings to her. Ayumi's darkness is deeper, how Ayumi should first become independent and live on her own. Even if she dates someone new, it will be difficult to change her dependent lifestyle, how Ayumi, no matter what, you don't need to adjust to the other person... if you don't like sweet things, you should say so, how Ayumi hasn't realised that she has an dependent nature yet, how she actually thinks that Ayumi is the one who is darker, and how she is worried about Ayumi.
