The 10th episode of the drama series "Is It Wrong for a Woman Not to Give Birth? DINKs' Ten Months and Ten Days" (TV Tokyo, Mondays at 11:06 PM), starring actress Emma Miyazawa, aired on June 1st. A shocking statement made by Tetsuya, played by Koudai Asaka, sparked outrage on social media.
◇The following contains spoilers.
Tetsuya invited Sayaka (Manatsu Akimoto), who had come to his house, inside. As they were talking, Asa (Miyazawa) came to visit.
After hiding Sayaka in another room, Tetsuya greeted Asa with a smile. Tetsuya spoke of his ideal of raising the child in a free and easy environment, to which Asa declared, "I will raise this child on my own." She then presented him with divorce papers and demanded his signature and seal.
However, Tetsuya refused, saying, "I won't divorce you. Asa and I will raise the child together." Asa declared that she would file for divorce mediation and left, saying, "I want you to get out of my life and this child's life as soon as possible."
Sayaka, who had been hiding, came over to Tetsuya, who was sobbing uncontrollably, with a worried look on her face. Standing up, Tetsuya told Sayaka with a cold, emotionless expression, "There's just one thing I'd like to ask of you. I want you to make Asa miscarry."
On social media, comments such as "No way!! Can't you just make Asa miscarry? That's a horror line," "The role is so intense I'm starting to hate Koudai Asaka lol I want to punch him lol," "Tetsuya is such a self-centered person," and "Tetsuya is so selfish it's scary" poured in.
