The third episode of the Tuesday drama "Toki Sude ni Osushi!?" (TBS, Tuesdays at 10 PM), starring actress Hiromi Nagasaku, aired on April 21st. Aoki Macho of the comedy duo "Kakeochi" appeared as the husband of Kurumi Kakigi (First Summer Uika), creating a buzz on social media.
◇The following contains spoilers.
The drama tells the story of Minato Machiyama (played by Nagasaku), who, having finished raising her children, is bewildered by the "time to herself" that she finally has again at the age of 50, but begins her second life and jumps into a "sushi academy" where she can become a sushi chef in three months.
It was nighttime. As Kurumi was about to prepare dinner, Jin (Aoki), dressed in a suit, returned home.
When Kurumi asked, "I'm making pasta with canned mackerel, do you want some?", Jin declined, saying, "No thanks. I'm on a low-carb diet right now." Like Kurumi, Jin values "time performance," and coldly added, "Use your time for yourself. I'm going to the gym after I get changed."
Aoki appeared with his bangs pulled back. Social media was buzzing with comments such as, "Aoki is so muscular playing Kakigi's husband. I didn't recognize him because he was wearing a suit!", "Is Aoki really muscular? He looks like a different person with a different hairstyle and clothes", "His acting was so natural I didn't recognize him at first", "Kurumi's husband is so muscular!", and "I hope the muscular husband appears again in episode 4 and beyond. His acting was amazing!"
