Ryoma Takeuchi (32) and Kaho (34) double-star in the TBS Tuesday drama “Then, You Make It” (“Yaratsuku”, 10:00 p.m. – ), which will air its 8th episode on November 25, and is attracting attention as one of the most popular fall dramas in 2025! –. Ryoma Takeuchi, the actor in the drama “Decide”, shows his full face when he makes a “super-morally harassing comment”. Ayumi Yamagishi (Kaho), who hides her true feelings and plays the role of a good cook and a lover-first girlfriend, and her boyfriend, Ayumi (Kaho), who is a Showa-esque value-added who thinks “It is natural for a woman to cook! (Takeuchi), a fossilized man with Showa-esque values who thinks that “women are supposed to cook. Speaking of TBS dramas, “The Royal Family” is currently airing in the “Sunday Gekijo” slot and has a strong image, but I feel that “Yaratsuku” has surpassed it in terms of the attention it has garnered this season. In terms of viewer ratings, the core viewer rating (individual viewer rating among 13-49 year olds), which is the number of young viewers that the TV industry is focusing on, is particularly high, and above all, the number of registered viewer favorites on TVer, a subscription service for streaming missed episodes, is the largest by far for fall dramas. This is much higher than the 1,159,000 subscribers for the second-ranked NTV Saturday drama “Good Things, Bad Things” (1,675,000). Incidentally, in the overall list of all TVer-distributed dramas, “Satsukuru” ranked second, followed by Fuji TV’s January 9 drama “Mystery and Not to Mention” (January 2009), starring Masaki Sugata (32), with 1,803,000 subscribers. Since “Mystery~” just started distributing all past episodes from November 21 to December 24, the number of subscribers is thought to have surged due to this. And “Then Tsuku” has good viewership ratings. The ratings for the sixth episode (November 11) were 8.1% for households (Kanto region/video research), 4.4% for individuals, and 2.8% for the core. The core rating, in particular, was the highest among dramas aired during the third week of November (November 10-16). Although “Saretsuku” did not generate much buzz in advance, word of mouth spread that it was “interesting” and it became a popular drama after it aired. The story did not lose steam until the latest episode, and it is likely to maintain this momentum until the final episode. One of the main reasons for the popularity of this work is the presence of Mr. Takeuchi, who plays the lead role. Mr. Takeuchi’s “bad boy” attitude of the main character Katsuo, who is a highly skilled actor, became a topic of conversation, and the first episode created a huge buzz on social networking services, which has led to the popularity of the series to this day. In the beginning, Katsuo has never cooked for himself, but he gives Ayumi (Kaho) a self-proclaimed “advice” when she cooks for him, saying, “The side dishes are too brown overall. At a blind date after the breakup, he says of a curry made with roux, “Oh, all I have to do is cut the vegetables. That’s not cooking! At a blind date after the breakup, she made a series of problematic comments. The realistic acting of Takeuchi caused some viewers to say, “He’s so annoying, it’s laughable,” “I wonder if he has given up on his likability,” and “I’m starting to dislike even the real Takeuchi. However, the way Takeuchi realizes his mistakes after the breakup and improves upon them, and his honest apology when he admits his wrongdoing, have earned him a steadily rising reputation among the viewers. Many viewers said, “I want to root for him,” and “Takeuchi’s acting made me cry again,” making him one of the most beloved protagonists in this season’s drama series. It is said that Takeuchi’s “production” is also behind Katsuo’s popularity. When Mr. Takeuchi received an offer to play Katsuo in this drama series, he thought thoroughly about “how to make this drama interesting for the viewers. “When Mr. Takeuchi was offered the role in the drama, he thoroughly thought about how he could make the drama interesting to the viewers and discussed the issue with the production side. He said that he did not think at all about how he would look like, but rather, he thought first and foremost about how he could entertain the audience. The result, especially in the beginning, was a “fossil man,” Katsuo, who seemed to have abandoned his likability as an actor.
