The ninth episode of the TBS drama series “So, You Make It,” starring Kaho (34) and Ryoma Takeuchi (32), was broadcast on December 2, and the average viewership ratings (according to Video Research, Kanto region) were 8.0% for households and 4.6% for individuals, the second highest for the program respectively. The show gained momentum for next week’s final episode. In the ninth episode, Ayumi ( Kaho ) became a victim of fraud and Katsuo (Takeuchi) was suspended from work after being accused of power harassment by a junior colleague. In the last scene, Katsuo says to Ayumi, “Let’s start over again,” and “I think we can make it work now. Ayumi and I have changed. It won’t be like before.” He offers to get back together. Ayumi’s expression was unreadable and her answer was carried over to the next week. On social networking sites, some viewers expressed their hope that they would get back together and that the two of them would be able to work things out, but many viewers were left scratching their heads at the content of episode 9. The original manga by Natsuko Taniguchi is still being serialized, with the fourth and latest volume to be released on December 10. However, its content seems to include the family-related episodes depicted in the drama’s episode 8, and it is highly likely that the drama’s episode 9 has overtaken the original story. The drama’s overly comical direction, such as Ayumi being strangely cheerful even though she is the victim of a million yen fraud and Katsuo getting stuck in a vending machine in an unpopular place, as well as the opportune moment when Ayumi happens to pass by and save him, caused viewers to ask, “Isn’t he suddenly going astray? The author, of course, did not want the scriptwriters to be too busy with the story. Of course, it is not impossible that the author may have told the scriptwriter about the future development, but it is unlikely that the drama will spoil the ending before the original story, and the final episode is expected to have an original ending. Katsuo and Ayumi have broken up, but Ayumi is beginning to be swayed by Katsuo’s change, and the mood for their reconciliation is growing. But will it really end as expected? Subculture writer Aokage Kou says, “The two are now in the mood to get back together.
