The Kaze,Kaoru.:Erika Ikuta, who plays "Tae," is being pressured into an arranged marriage by her father, and the actor playing her father is also becoming a topic of conversation.

The 28th episode of the NHK morning drama series " Kaze,Kaoru " (NHK General, Monday-Saturday 8:00 AM, etc.), starring Ai Mikami and Juri Kosaka, aired on May 6th, and a scene in which Tae (Asadora ), a first-generation student of the Umeoka Nursing School, returns home and is told by her father that he is unilaterally arranging a marriage for her became a topic of discussion.

Tamada Tae, played by Ikuta in her first appearance in a Asadora , was born into a family that served as court physicians during the Edo period, and grew up in an environment where medicine was readily available. She has a studious temperament and a high level of awareness, which sometimes causes her to clash with those around her. She enters the Umeoka Nursing School due to certain circumstances within her family.

In episode 28, when Tae returns to her family's clinic on Sunday, her father, Sentaro (played by Mutsuo Yoshioka), tells her, "As I wrote in my letter, I've decided to proceed with the arranged marriage between you and Dr. Ota's second son."

"The other party is still a medical student, so the marriage will be a while away, but you are also studying nursing as part of your pre-marriage training, so it will be just right. Dr. Ota said, 'I would gladly give my daughter to a husband if she is studying nursing to help her future husband,'" her father said. Tae showed her hesitation, saying, "I... I still think so," but her father didn't listen.

"She's the heir apparent, after all. I wouldn't mind if she quit the training school right now and got married," he declared unilaterally.

Afterwards, when Tae returned to the training school, she was reprimanded for breaking the rules and going back to her traditional Japanese hairstyle, and when asked if she wanted to quit the training school, she almost answered, "I, I..." before Naomi (Uesaka) and Rin (Mikami) came to her rescue.

On social media, comments expressing questions and concerns about Tae's situation included, "Here comes the arranged marriage talk for Tae," "Is she going to be the heir?", "Is it for bridal training?", and "Which path will Tae take?".

Some viewers also mentioned Yoshioka's acting Granutes as the father, Sentaro, saying things like, "He played Kenji Saito, a wagashi (Japanese confectionery) craftsman, and Granute, who kidnapped Kizuna's (Yusuke Hino) mother, in Kamen Rider Gavv ," and "He played Kengo Kora's father in 'Our Bad Boys'."
