The 18th 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 April 22nd, and the shocking ending garnered significant attention from viewers.
Rin (Mikami), troubled by the offer from Trained Nurse, coincidentally meets Shimaken (Sano Masaya) and asks him for advice. Shimaken shares his own past experiences and asks Rin about her true feelings.
Towards the end of the episode, Rin returns home having come to terms with her feelings, only to find Mitsu (Mizuno Miki) in a state of distress, shouting Tamaki's (Miyajima Ruka) name, causing chaos all around. Rin rushes over, asking, "What happened to Tamaki!?", to which Mitsu replies, "Tamaki... has been kidnapped!" The episode ends with Rin, who had been stunned and shocked, snapping back to reality and running off, shouting, "Tamaki!"
On social media, comments included: "I gasped at the end," "The final twist was too shocking," "Hard mode from the morning," "Oh no!", "Tamaki has been kidnapped! Is it Kameki's henchman?", "The culprit is so obvious," "Kidnapping... so they were targeting Tamaki, not Rin," and "A whirlwind of events after the sudden rendezvous with Shimaken...!"
