The 15th episode of the NHK Asadora drama series "Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka , aired on April 17th, and viewers expressed concern after Naomi ( Juri Kosaka) accepted the confession of Lieutenant Kohinata (Kitsu Fujiwara) of the Navy.
Naomi was confessed to by Kohinata, who said, "Would you go out with me? I can't imagine how happy I would be if we could keep laughing together like this forever..." Kohinata said there was no need to rush her answer and left. Naomi, who was lying about her identity, muttered to herself, "It's so simple. If I'm a lady, I'll become a wife. But it's me. Me... 'But it's me?'"
Towards the end, as Naomi and Kohinata were talking in the street, a young boy came running towards them at top speed. The boy bumped into Kohinata and fell, but quickly got up and ran off. A man who had followed him came along and said, "Did a kid just come by? He stole my wallet," but Kohinata pointed in the opposite direction from where the boy had run off and said, "He's over there now."
After the man left, Kohinata came to his senses and said, "I was wrong. I did something unbecoming of a soldier," but Naomi replied, "I think I would have answered the same way. That boy has lost weight..." Kohinata apologized, saying, "I'm sorry. A mistake is a mistake," but Naomi smiled and said, "I accept. Let's be in a relationship." Kohinata bowed his head and said, "Thank you!" and was pleased, saying, "I'm glad I was honest."
On social media, concerns were raised with comments such as, "Are they going to date without telling each other the truth!? Isn't that a bit too risky?", "Is it really okay to keep up a false identity?", "A Asadora heroine who deceives men...that's something new lol", "If they start dating, her true identity will be revealed", "Won't she run into trouble later on because she's lying?", "I don't think this will go well", "Kohinata seems suspicious too", "It might be a battle of wits between a fox and a badger", and "Kohinata...he seems like a nice guy, but I have a feeling he's just as much of a liar as Naomi..."
