The episode begins where the last left off, Ruka played by Ueno Juri (Nodame Cantabile, Orange Days) has thrown herself across the prone figure of Michiru played by Nagasawa Masami (Proposal Daisakusen, Sailor Fuku to Kikanju) when Sosuke played by Nishikido Ryo (Attention Please, Ganbatte Ikimasshoi) picks up a chair, Ruka defiantly tells him not to touch “My Michiru”. Takeru played by Eita (Atsu-hime, Orange Days) still back in the hospital room with Ruka’s father and brother decides to find out what’s taking Ruka so much time and goes to look for her. He sees what’s occurred in the lounge and grabs Sosuke from behind demanding to know what’s going on. Ruka asks Sosuke why he hit Michiru, but Sosuke denies hitting her, saying that they were just playing around and the chair fell over. Michiru apparently to scared to contradict him, agrees that what he said is true.I really hate Sosuke, in most Japanese dramas, anime and toku the protagonist must confront an opponent then over the course of the series the opponent changes or our point of view changes and the opponent becomes less then completely evil sometimes even sympathetic, like Croissant no Matsu in Utahime or Mele in Gekiranger or Miyako Miyazaki in Bamboo Blade, all characters that start out portrayed as evil and then either change or our viewpoint changes and I come to really like them and understand where they are coming from. This will never happen in this drama. I will never no matter how sympathetically Sosuke portrayal becomes, ever come to not hate this character. Download the English hardsub bit torrent files here.
