The eighth episode of the popular TBS Sunday drama "Reboot," starring Ryohei Suzuki, aired on March 15th (Sundays at 9 PM). The scene in which Suzuki's character, Hayase, learns the truth about his beloved wife, Natsumi (Sayaka Yamaguchi), and cries, deeply moved viewers.
◇The following contains spoilers.
Hayase realizes that Natsumi might be rebooting Ichika (Erika Toda). He goes to plastic surgeon Kuwahara (Kayo Noro) and confronts her, asking, "You're rebooting other people besides me, aren't you? Is Kogo Ichika being rebooted too?"
Kuwahara hesitated to answer. However, when Hayase said, "Ichika is probably my wife," he looked surprised for a moment. Finally, Kuwahara revealed that Ichika's name before she was rebooted was Natsumi.
Hayase stared intently into Kuwahara's eyes, sighed, and nearly collapsed, leaning against the wall. Then, she quietly closed her eyes and wept, her face crumpled with emotion.
On social media, comments such as "I couldn't stop crying when I saw Ryohei Suzuki's tears in the reboot," "I cried at Ryohei Suzuki's tears," and "I cried during the scene where Hayase learns the truth" spread widely.
