The final episode of the TBS Friday drama "Fake Mummy" (Friday 10pm), starring actors Haru and Rina Kawaei, aired on December 12th. The dramatic transformation of Mitsuhashi Foods president Shingo Motohashi (played by Masaru Kasamatsu) was well-received, with comments on social media such as "He looks like a different person."
◇The following contains spoilers
Shingo wants to take both Iroha (played by Aoi Ikemura), who turns out to be his biological daughter through DNA testing, and Mamie's (played by Kawaei) company, RAINBOWLAB. He offers to let Mamie keep all her employees at RAINBOWLAB and have her expulsion revoked if she hands over custody of Iroha immediately, but Mamie refuses.
At an emergency information session at Ryuwa Academy, Shingo thoroughly cornered Kaoru (Haru) and Maika. However, after a direct appeal from Iroha's classmates and Sasaki (Aoi Nakamura), Iroha's expulsion was revoked.
Later, Mitsuhashi Foods received a report that there had been an unusual transfer of funds to acquire RAINBOWLAB, and Shingo was dismissed from his position as president. Shocked, Shingo took some time off work to spend time with his family.
At the end, when Keigo (Takashima Ryunosuke) confesses that he wants to become a soccer player in the future, Shingo calmly cheers him on, saying, "That's great."
Social media was buzzing with comments such as, "Motohashi Shingo looks amazing, he looks like a different person," "Motohashi looks like a different person! Actors are amazing!", "Motohashi has changed so much lol, who is that lol," "Motohashi has gotten rid of his evil spirit?!", "Motohashi has become such a different person it made me laugh," and "It's good that Shingo has been freed from his demons. But he was still so creepy it was amazing."
