The third episode of the drama series "Drama Choose! 'Rakutou Dakukon'" (TV Tokyo, Tuesday midnight), starring actress Rio Uchida, aired on January 20th. The episode depicted the "madness" of Emiru (Yurika Nakamura), who had a miscarriage with Tsukasa (Kentaro Ito).
In the story, the narrator says, "I've been searching for a prince who will cherish me forever," and four handsome men gather around Emiru, who has now become a "princess."
The men approached Emiru with sweet words. "They were all fake princes. In the end, they left Emiru. A prince should always think only of his princess and take good care of her..." he said, before putting the knife to his own wrist and saying, "Emiru is a princess. Look at her more closely."
And in response to Tsukasa's words, "I'll support you," Emiru spoke of her love for Tsukasa in a cheerful voiceover, saying, "I've found him. He is my true prince. I finally found my true prince. I don't want to lose this happiness that I finally got. Tsukasa is my prince, whom I finally met." Then, in a sudden change of tone, she said with a crazed look on her face, "I will never let anyone take him away from me."
Comments on social media include, "I can't keep up with the emotions...", "The sudden change at the end was amazing and sent chills down my spine", "The acting with the eyes is outstanding!!!!" and "I love Yurika's voice so much."
The drama is based on Mei Yamada's manga "Rakutotsukkon ~The Talented Woman is Chosen~," which became a hot topic for its depiction of an "ugly pregnancy battle between an ex-wife and a current wife." Chiharu marries Tsukasa, a psychiatrist, after many years of dating, but is unable to have children, and is feeling depressed. Then, a young woman named Emiru, who is pregnant with Tsukasa's child, appears before Chiharu... and so the story unfolds.
