<h3><span class="strongInContent"> The Internet is ablaze!</span></h3>
<p> Winter dramas have entered their final stages. With the exception of the Sunday drama &#8220;Reboot&#8221; (TBS), all the other dramas were rated as neither good nor bad. The drama was expected to end without showing any particular excitement.</p>
<p> The fire has begun to rise from an unexpected direction. The fire started with &#8220;Reunion: Silent Truth&#8221; (TV Asahi), starring Ryoma Takeuchi, and &#8220;Something in Winter, Something in Spring&#8221; (NTV), starring Hana Sugisaki. The two women who appear in these two works have been the subject of a small flame <span class="strongInContent">war</span> on the Internet <span class="strongInContent">, with many people saying, &#8220;I would absolutely hate to have a woman like her in my class!</span> The two women who appear in these two works have been causing a firestorm on the Internet, with the viewer saying, &#8220;I would absolutely hate to have these women in my class!</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> What in the world could have drawn the women&#8217;s attention in such a bad way? An interview writer familiar with the drama explained as follows.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The two dramas under fire are &#8220;Mankiko,&#8221; played by Mao Inoue (39) in &#8220;Reunion,&#8221; and &#8220;Fumina,&#8221; played by Hana Sugisaki (28) in &#8220;Fuyu no Nankasa~. When &#8220;Mankiko&#8221; is typed on the Internet, &#8220;hate&#8221; comes up as a candidate word, and when &#8220;Fumina&#8221; is typed, &#8220;cheating&#8221; comes up as a candidate word. &#8220;cheating&#8221; comes up, and this has caused a stir in the hearts of women. The reason for this is that both of them are &#8220;bruising. The reason for this is that they both use their magical techniques to captivate all the men around them.</span></p>
<p> Here is a brief description of each story. In &#8220;Reunion,&#8221; four elementary school classmates, three boys and one girl, are separated after an incident. Twenty-three years later, however, they are reunited after a murder in their hometown. As the case is unraveled, their secrets are revealed. To give away the human drama, the story goes that all three boys have loved Mankiko since they were children.</p>
<p> On the other hand, &#8220;Fuyu no Nankasa&#8221; is a complete romantic drama featuring 27-year-old Fumina. Fumina&#8217;s love style, however, is anything but unrestrained. She follows a man she met at a laundromat to his house, continues to see other men even though she has a boyfriend, and tells a guy she likes that <span class="strongInContent">she can&#8217;t go out with him but if he wants to sleep with her, that&#8217;s fine</span>. &#8230;&#8230; This lightness may be her weapon, but she is very popular, and every episode she describes is with a different man.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> A writer who has written many articles on romance explains the &#8220;wave-making&#8221; points of each episode as follows.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Mankiko is a typical devil-may-care girl. She uses her child as a pretext to get close to her childhood friend Junichi, played by Ryoma Takeuchi, or calls him when he is weak and says, &#8216;Come here, come here right away. He also innocently touches the body of another childhood friend who has a crush on him. He is so high level that the same sex cannot stand his teeth. Thus, she is the most disliked type.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Fumina, on the other hand, is the type of person who is &#8220;sabbatical. Although she acts as if she is not attached to her partner, she is actually using a lot of techniques to attract people, such as resting her cheekbones on her hands while listening to a conversation, and looking straight into their eyes. That unique bob style with the ears poking out, boyish clothes, and smoking cigarettes are all the same. Men don&#8217;t notice it, so they are attracted to it because it &#8216;doesn&#8217;t look heavy. They then smoothly snatch away the tasty bits, so the same sex is sensitive to this type of woman.</span></p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" The two are &quot;complete opposites&quot; in their true faces."></div>
<h3><span class="strongInContent">God&#8217;s response&#8221; and &#8220;true savage girl</span></h3>
<p> Inoue and Sugisaki are unexpectedly attracting attention as the two most &#8220;hated girls. This is probably due to the fact that they are both excellent actors. But of course, their true faces are completely different.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Inoue-san is famous among the writers for her &#8216;god-like&#8217; attitude. He is very attentive to those around him and extremely polite to the staff. One writer said that when he told a story of his own failure in the process of asking a question, he went out of his way to tell him later, &#8216;Please cheer up. That&#8217;s totally different from Mankiko, who doesn&#8217;t know what she&#8217;s thinking!&#8221; (Entertainment editor of a women&#8217;s magazine)</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Sugisaki-san may be the same as Fumina in terms of being savvy, but I think she is the true savvy one (laughs). I have the impression that she answers any questions in an aloof but honest manner. Personally, he says, &#8216;I don&#8217;t need a vacation or anything. I love my job, so I want to work every day. I thought she was a refreshing person who doesn&#8217;t put too much stress on herself.</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Takahiko Kageyama, a professor of media creation at Doshisha Women&#8217;s University, analyzed the two in the drama as follows.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I personally don&#8217;t have a hook, but after many years of teaching at a women&#8217;s college, my sense of smell tells me that this kind of woman would be disliked by some.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> However, Mankiko in &#8220;Reunion&#8221; was revealed in episode 8 to have had a harsh experience in the past. The contrast of being cherished by the men around her and seemingly blessed on the surface, but actually &#8230;&#8230; is a royal way to portray this in entertainment. Of course, those who watch the film properly understand this, but it is a part of the story that tends to be cut off from the surface.&#8221;</span></p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> The same is true of Fumina in &#8220;Fuyu no Nankasa.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> If you watch the movie carefully, you will see that Fumina is not just playing around with men, but she takes each relationship seriously. However, she is not satisfied with each one of them. It&#8217;s not that she is happy, but rather that she is unable to fill a void in her heart. I suppose this is connected to her work as a writer, but I think the way she depicts this is also a contrast.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> As someone who has dabbled in drama production, I am always amazed at how many faces an actress has. It is common for actors to be identified with their roles, but if you watch the film carefully, you will understand, and I want to defend both of them.</span></p>
<p> The story is coming to an end. I wonder how the evaluation of the two actors by their peers will have changed by the time the drama comes to an end.</p>
