The 26th 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 May 4th, and viewers were captivated by the nursing instruction of teacher Burns (Emma Howard), who has come to the nursing school attached to Umeoka Girls' School.
Burns arrived from Scotland. Naomi (Uesaka) and Tae (Ikuta Erika) acted as interpreters as the class began, but the content was full of unexpected things. Burns instructed them to change all the sheets in the dormitory every day, and first demonstrated by changing the sheets. He had Tae (Ikuta Erika) change the sheets first, but Burns reprimanded her, "This is not nursing!" He then repeatedly told the other students, "This is not nursing! Try again."
Rin (Mikami) asks, "What exactly is nursing...?" but Burns replies, "Figure it out yourself." When Naomi grumbles, "He's not a messenger from heaven, he's definitely a tengu (a mythical creature)," Burns instructs Naomi to try it. Naomi starts changing the sheets, but Burns asks, "Are you kidding me?" and makes her do it again. The exhausted first-year students return to the dorm and complain about Burns.
From then on, the first-year students simply repeated the same routine of changing sheets and cleaning every day. After a month, without understanding Burns's purpose, they received a passing grade from him: "That's nursing." Burns said, "You've all gotten much better at keeping yourselves clean," but then pointed out, "However, you yourselves are still unclean." He instructed them to untie their traditional Japanese hairstyles, which they only washed about once a month, and tie them up themselves, instead of using oil to stiffen their hair. Burns then had the dormitory supervisor, Matsui (played by Hyunri), sit down as an example, and the episode ended with a shot of Rin's surprised expression upon seeing Matsui's new hairstyle.
On social media, comments included: "Hygiene management is certainly important," "It's so Spartan, it's shocking," "Mr. Burns must be teaching the importance of hygiene," "I can see he's trying to teach in a way that isn't based on a manual," "Is he saying we should learn with our bodies, not our heads?", "Mr. Burns seems to 'observe' his students well," and "He said, 'You've learned to keep things clean, but you yourselves are still unclean,' which is quite a powerful statement lol."
