The 38th 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 20th, and viewers' attention was drawn to the person that Yasu (Miharu Hayasaka) fell in love with at first sight.
In episode 38, Shimaken (Masaya Sano) visits Mizuho-ya with Makimura (Yuta Hayashi) and his older brother, Soichi (Shuhei Uesugi). When Makimura introduces Soichi saying, "My brother is a very uptight government official," Mitsu (Miki Mizuno) is surprised, saying, "Brothers can be so different."
Then Yasui arrives with Tamaki (played by Ema). When Tamaki calls out to Soichi, he gently asks, "Oh, are you lost?" Seeing this, Yasui gazes at Soichi with admiration, and it seems she has fallen in love at first sight.
Mitsu noticed the change in Yasu and asked Shimaken, "How old is that gentleman?" According to Shimaken, Soichi is 27 years old, works as an official in the accounting department of Tokyo Prefecture, and lives in Nezu. When Yasu asked, "Is he married?", Shimaken replied, "He's not married yet..."
Then Soichi came over and asked Yasu, "Are you (Tamaki's) parent?" Mitsu quickly corrected him, "No. Yasu is a young woman about to get married," and Soichi apologized, "That was quite rude of me." Mitsu then led Shimaken to the back of the shop and asked him to "please act as a go-between (between Yasu and Soichi)."
Shuhei Uesugi, who plays Soichi, is appearing in a Asadora for the first time in 10 years, since "Toto Nee-chan" in the first half of 2016. On social media, comments included "Sudden appearance of Shuhei Uesugi," "The whole plot was blown away when Shuhei Uesugi appeared," "Shuhei Uesugi is back in a Asadora after 10 years," "Is that Taisho from 'Toto Nee-chan'?", and "A new handsome guy has been added," as well as comments such as "Is it love at first sight for Yasu?", "Yasu's eyes are heart-shaped," and "I laughed at how Yasu's eyes were sparkling at the handsome guy, and how her mother's eyes were not letting this chance slip away."
