Why “Academy Award-winning actress” Mayu Matsuoka wanted to appear in “Yuria-sensei no Akai Ito” even if it was a “minor role” in the much-talked-about film “Yuria-sensei no Akai Ito”.

Miho Kanno stars in the much-talked-about drama “Yuria-sensei no akai ito (Yuria’s Teacher’s Red Thread)” (TV Asahi). The hearts of many viewers have been gripped by the gripping exchanges between “Yuria” (Kanno) and “Michiru” (played by Maayu Matsuoka) as each episode passes by.

The drama is based on the manga of the same title by Kiwa Irie, which won the Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize in 2011. Her husband, Gora (Tetsushi Tanaka), who is in need of nursing care, discovers that she has a boyfriend, Akihisa (Takashi Suzuka), a girlfriend, Michiru (Mayu Matsuoka), and sisters who appear to be illegitimate children. They start a strange life together in this “under one roof” human drama.

It is one of the most popular dramas of the current season, and examines the nature of family while dealing with various issues such as nursing care, adultery, mother-in-laws, sexual minorities, and domestic violence.

In episode 7, Yuria brings back Michiru and her family, who are sitting in a park with nowhere to go after being sarcastically told to leave by Gora’s sister, Shisori (Emma Miyazawa).

Michiru again recounts her husband’s lies and violence in the past. She also confides that her younger daughter is not Gora’s child. But it is the “love talk” that becomes the highlight of episode 7.

Michiru tells Yuria that she is worried about backing down from her younger boyfriend, Yuya (Daisho Kido), and Michiru says to him, “That’s it. Michiru complains, “Yuria acts for others, but when it comes to herself, she is a runaway. Matsuoka’s acting spirit, which has been on full display in her leading roles in the GP series, is also on full display in this episode,” said a producer from the production company.

In the 8th episode, Yuria exerts silent pressure on Matsuoka when she is hesitant about her relationship with Yuya, and she asks, “What?

When Yuria asked back, “What?

Yuria asked back,

When Yuria asked him back, he replied, “Yeah, I was just wondering if it’s a usual habit again.”

They exchanged jabs. There was a pause as they sipped tea together,
I asked him about Yuya’s proposal of marriage,

I’m so happy.

The casual but exquisite performance between the two is well worth watching.
