The fifth episode of Fuji TV's "Monday 9pm" drama "Yandoku!" starring Hashimoto Kanna was broadcast on February 9th. The scene where former delinquent Ko Onami (Hashimoto) and "party doctor" Iwasaki Sara (Ugaki Misato) who enjoys the celebrity lifestyle clashed was met with excitement from viewers, who commented that it was "too much to watch."

Iwasaki is an orthopedic surgeon. He posts pictures of his glamorous private life, including designer bags and high-class cuisine, on social media, and boasts 120,000 followers. During his breaks, he invites department store sales representatives to the hospital and enjoys shopping. His personality is the polar opposite of the Yankee-minded Ko Onami.
It was decided to set up a special room in the orthopedics department. During the construction period, the orthopedics staff would also use the neurosurgery staff room. Iwasaki, who arrived with nurse Sasaki Kanon (Suzuki Yuka), declared, "Honestly, we didn't want to come to such a squalid place either. The air is too stagnant here!" as he enjoyed the aroma of the aroma oil he had brought with him.
Koonami immediately retorted, "Is that really necessary? This is the workplace," but Iwasaki retorted, "Isn't it better for the workplace to be comfortable? That way you can get work done more efficiently and it makes you feel better." Even so, Koonami pointed out, "Work isn't something you should enjoy. You're taking care of people's lives." Iwasaki then clapped in an exaggerated manner, saying, "Taking care of people's lives sounds cool! Yeah, yeah. Just like a doctor!", causing Koonami to explode in frustration with, "Huh!?"
Afterwards, Iwasaki continued to say whatever he wanted to Koonami, a former delinquent, saying, "Delinquent guys work really hard! Because you can't act tough unless you dress like that, right? How brave!" When Koonami glared at him, Iwasaki responded, "That's what they call a "menchi" (face-cutting), right? That's cool!" Koonami's irritation reached its peak, but he held back and said, "Ah, that's annoying! I would have definitely done that when I was younger."
On social media, the show was a hot topic, with comments such as "Hashikan vs. Ugaki was so much fun to watch," "Ugaki was perfect for the role," "Ugaki was perfect as the party girl teacher," "Ugaki Misato and Hashimoto Kanna are the perfect pair. I hope they stay regulars," and "This week's show is going to be exciting and entertaining again!"
The drama is a medical entertainment about a young delinquent girl, Koonami Tagami, who studies hard after her best friend dies in an accident and becomes a neurosurgeon, bringing a breath of fresh air to the medical field. The script is written by Nonji Nemoto, who also wrote the NHK morning drama "Omusubi," in which Hashimoto starred.
