NHK doesn’t want to let him go”… “Black Cat CHELSEA” Daichi Watanabe’s unfathomable charm that his relationship with Kaho is going well.

NHK’s historical drama “Hikaru Kimi e” continues to do well.

The drama is set in the mid-Heian period, which is historically unfamiliar to the audience, and features the author of “The Tale of Genji”, Murasaki Shikibu (Mahiro), played by Yuriko Yoshitaka. There are no battle scenes as in the Warring States period or the end of the Edo period, which are the favorite episodes of historical dramas, and expectations were not so high before the broadcast.

The story is always presented in the 45 minutes of broadcast time: “A sordid power struggle for authority centering on Fujiwara no Michinaga, played by Tasuku Emoto, and a melodrama-style development centering on Michinaga and Mahiro. Although the actors do not move much, the story has a sense of speed that keeps viewers on their toes. In addition, the show is popular among a wide range of viewers because of its modern style of direction reminiscent of girls’ love (GL) and boys’ love (BL),” said a TV magazine writer.

The BL-like role is played by Daichi Watanabe (33), who portrays Yukinari Fujiwara. Yukinari is a right-hand man who supports Michinaga’s long-term regime, but in the drama, Yukinari is depicted as having a romantic interest in Michinaga. In historical fact, the two died on the same day, although there is no record of such a relationship. Watanabe said in an interview,

I had not yet cranked it in, but I fantasized that Yukinari might have wanted to know or support Michinaga in a way that he did not intend, and that such feelings might have become the source of his own life” (“MANTANWEB,” June 30).

(MANTANWEB, June 30, 2011). He says that he used this as a reference in creating his role. He describes Yukinari’s feelings for Michinaga as “a kind of infatuation that is close to longing,

He also said, “I want to get to know Michinaga,” which is his motivation in life, and it is a kind of “infatuation. It is a kind of “infatuation.” “Beyond admiration” is what he meant by this.

The same applies to the “love” aspect of the film.
