The 30th 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 8th, and viewers were particularly interested in the exchange between Tae (Erika Ikuta) and her father, Sentaro (Mutsuo Yoshioka).
Tae collapses with a high fever and loses her voice. Worried, Rin (Mikami) and Naomi (Uesaka) rush into her room one after another to nurse her, but things don't go smoothly. Burns (Emma Howard) orders everyone to remember their assignments, and Rin and the others reflect on how they haven't been able to put into practice what they've studied.
Meanwhile, Tae's father, Sentaro, arrives at the school. One might think he's come because he's worried about Tae's health, but it turns out he had a marriage interview scheduled for that day, and since Tae didn't come home, he came to the school. Sentaro tells the principal, Kajiwara (played by Ise Shima), "My daughter will probably have to leave this school." Tae then reveals her true feelings, saying, "I... I'm going to become a nurse. Not for marriage training," and "I truly want to become a nurse, not a doctor..."
Sentaro initially dismisses Tae's statement, "You won't be able to accomplish much even if you become a nurse," but after witnessing her strong desire to become a nurse, he agrees, "Work for us. We'll be the first hospital in town to have a nurse," thus supporting her ambition to become a nurse.
On social media, comments included: "I'm glad for Tae," "She was finally able to express her true feelings," "I'm glad her father is someone who will understand if she talks to him," "I'm glad her father is an understanding person," "Wow, he's actually a pretty good father (lol)," "I was worried because she often made careless remarks like nursing is part of bridal training, but he's not a bad person," and "I'm glad her father accepted her."
