The drama series "Good Things and Bad Things" (NTV, Saturdays at 9pm) stars actors Mamiya Shotaro and Araki Yuko in the lead roles. The synopsis and stills for episode 6, which will air on November 15th, have been released.
A serial murder case begins with the unearthing of a time capsule at a class reunion. While Takagi (Mamiya) and Sonoko (Araki) work tirelessly to uncover the truth, the situation takes a sudden turn. A rival magazine to Weekly Apollo, where Sonoko works, carries a shocking headline: "Beautiful Reporter Saruhashi Sonoko Suspected of Being a Serial Killer!?" The article mentions the time capsule, the yearbook, and the mysterious deaths of classmates who had a connection with Sonoko, all of which make it seem as if Sonoko is the culprit. Sonoko is left speechless after reading the article. The editorial department is inundated with phone calls with inquiries, causing chaos within the company.
Sonoko is viewed with suspicion by the public and is subjected to fierce criticism. Her story dominates TV talk shows, and "Sarahashi Sonoko" becomes a trending topic on social media. The media and YouTubers flock to her house, and Sonoko begins to feel her life is in danger. Takagi and Koyama (Shintaro Morimoto) are at their wits' end, but even though they want to help, if they take action, it will only make the commotion worse. All they can do now is wait for the commotion to die down...
With nowhere to go, Sonoko takes refuge with Kobayashi (Fujima Sawako), the class representative. Worried about Sonoko and outraged as if it were her own fault, Kobayashi urges her to publish a rebuttal article, but if they do that, Takagi and Koyama will become the targets of attack, and neither Takagi's family nor Koyama's company will get away with it. Kobayashi tells the unsure Sonoko to "do the right thing." Sonoko makes up her mind, but...
Meanwhile, the fourth murder finally occurs...
