The 103rd episode of the NHK morning drama "Bakebake" (General TV, Monday to Saturday 8:00 AM and other times), starring Takaishi Akari, was broadcast on February 25th. Following on from yesterday's broadcast, viewers' attention was drawn to the mysterious woman Ise (Imo Yu).
While searching for material for Heaven's (Tommy Bastow) writing, Toki (Takaishi) meets Ise, a man with a dark aura who is knowledgeable about old legends, and becomes interested in him. When Toki asks Ise if he can teach her the legend, Ise readily agrees, saying, "If you don't mind me..."
Shigeyoshi (Ogata Susumu), who happened to be passing by, advised Fumi (Ikewaki Chizuru) that Ise was cursed and that it would be better to separate her from Toki, then left.
Towards the end of the film, Toki brings Ise to Heaven, while Takeru (Sugita Rairin) and Masaki (Hidaka Yukito) bring Mokichi. Ise reveals a legend that if you forcefully open a sliding door, your death will be hastened by one year. When Heaven asks why, Ise is vague, saying, "Well, I guess it's just a legend..."
Ise made her first appearance in episode 102 (broadcast on February 24th). Her mysterious aura captured the attention of viewers, and on this day, Mokichi was depicted as being creeped out by Ise, with comments on social media such as "She has an incredible presence," "The mystery deepens even more," "A cursed woman?", "Her presence is so mysterious, my eyes were glued to the screen," "Imo-san has an aura about her," and "She has a mysterious, wonderful aura that's hard to describe."
