Minami Hamabe, the heroine of NHK’s “Ranman,” shows a “royal” ending to a morning drama in the final episode.

The final episode of the NHK morning drama “Ranman,” starring Ryunosuke Kamiki, was broadcast on September 29, and the final episode, which was worthy of a “royal road morning drama,” was praised by viewers.
Modeled on Makino Tomitaro, the “father of Japanese botany,” this drama depicts the tumultuous life of the main character, Makino Mantaro (Kamiki), who lived through the turbulent Meiji and Showa eras for the sake of his beloved plants. In the last week of the film, Mantaro becomes a doctor of science, and his wife, Jueko (Minami Hamabe), is truly happy.
However, Jueko falls ill. However, with the help of his many friends, Mantaro finally completes his botanical illustrated book in the final episode, bringing the story to a grand conclusion.
The last new species he added to the book was “Sueko-zasa,” the only one printed in color. Seeing it, he tearfully said, ‘You can’t keep crying when I’m gone. You have to go see the flowers and grasses again. I will be there too. I’ll be there waiting for you and Soka.” The scene where she hugged Mantaro was a famous scene befitting the final episode of this drama, which is called a “royal road morning drama.
Aimyon, who sang the theme song, also sang the theme song.
I’m going to be interviewing people from noon, but I’m crying so hard my face is getting crushed.
On X (formerly Twitter), “#Ranman” was trending at No. 1.
As the “Ranman loss” spread, Minami Hamabe’s performance as the heroine, Keiko Kotobuki, also received renewed praise.
Hamabe won the “Toho Cinderella Audition” New Generation Award in 2011. In 2005, she starred in the movie “Kimi no Pancreas wo Tabetai. She won the Japan Academy Award for Best Newcomer.
Her peers from “Toho Cinderella,” Moka Kamihiraishi, who won the Grand Prix, and Mone Kamihiraishi, who won the Jury’s Special Award, have performed spectacularly. While Hamabe is attracting attention, her face is featureless, slender, and fair-skinned.
She was unable to say what she wanted to say and had a dark personality, so her manager once told her that she could only play the role of a ghost or a sick person. I got into a fight with the manager and decided to go back to the countryside, so I flew to Haneda Airport. The frustration of those days may have been the starting point of her career as an actress.
