The synopsis and still images for the fifth episode of the NTV drama series "Tsukiyo Koro - The Answer Lies in Masterpieces -" (Wednesdays at 10 PM), starring Haru and Kumiko Aso, have been released. The episode will air on May 6th.
With the help of Luna (Haru), Ryoko (Aso) is unexpectedly reunited with her ex-boyfriend Kazuto (Ryuto Sakuma) and learns the kind lie hidden behind their sad breakup. With time finally starting to move again in her life, which had been at a standstill, Ryoko decides to return to Tokyo.
But just before she sets off on her journey, her husband, Kikuo (Naoki Tanaka), who was supposed to be in Tokyo, suddenly appears before her. How did he know her whereabouts, which she hadn't told him...? The truth that Kikuo reveals is utterly shocking.
After returning to Tokyo, Ryoko rediscovers the preciousness of everyday life by letting go of her lingering feelings for Kazuto. Believing it was all thanks to Luna, Ryoko visits "Marquee Moon" to express her gratitude, but the owner, Bubbly (played by Reo Sanada), tells her about Luna's disappearance and the presence of a "dark shadow" that had been creeping up on her. What happened to Luna, and where is she? Now it's Ryoko's turn to use literature to search for Luna...
The drama is a thrilling literary road mystery based on the novel of the same name by mystery writer Rikako Akiyoshi, known for works such as "Snow Flower" and "Absolute Justice." The script is written by Yukako Shimizu, who also wrote the drama "Reversal Orchestra" and the film "Arrogance and Kindness," while the directors are Shunpei Marutani, who wrote the dramas "119 Emergency Call" and "Complete Adultery," and Hiroto Akashi, who wrote "Ikinarikon."
