The 21st episode of the NHK Asadora drama "Bakebake " (Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM and other times), starring Akari Takaishi as the heroine, was broadcast on October 27th, and attracted the attention of viewers with the full appearance of Lefkada Haven ( Tommy Bastow), who later becomes Toki's (Takaishi) husband.
In episode 21, four years have passed since Toki broke up with Ginjiro (played by Kanichiro). Now 22 years old, Toki is still struggling to escape from poverty and debt. Toki, who makes a living selling clams, learns from his regular customers, Hanada Heita (played by Namase Katsuhisa) and Tsuru (played by Ikeya Nobue), of the Hanada Inn, that a foreign English teacher will be coming to Matsue.
A few days later, the day finally arrives. Toki visits the pier with Sawa (Wan Marui) to catch a glimpse of Matsue's first foreigner, and there she is reunited with Nishikori (Ryo Yoshizawa).
Then the ship carrying Heaven arrived. Toki was overjoyed when he saw Heaven, saying, "It's a Tengu!" Heaven smiled and waved to the crowd, but for a moment, he looked anxious.
Haven, played by Bastow, is a newspaper reporter who came to Japan to do an interview, but ends up teaching English in Matsue. With the support of his fellow English teacher, Yuichi Nishikori, he spends his days in Matsue. By chance, he meets Toki and begins to interact with him.
On social media, people were saying things like, "Heaven is finally in Matsue!", "Welcome to Japan, Heaven," "The real story starts here," "Otoki is super excited to see a real Tengu," and "Toki is overjoyed to see Heaven and says it's a Tengu," while Heaven sighs and looks gloomy...I can't wait to see how things will unfold from here!!!"
There were also many worried comments about the expression Heaven showed for just a moment, such as, "Mr. Heaven, why did your expression suddenly become gloomy after waving?", "Heaven greeted the spectators by smiling and waving, but it seemed like she couldn't hide her anxiety...", "Heaven...maybe she didn't want to come to Japan", and "She had a mysterious expression on her face. I wonder what's going on."
