The development of the NHK serial TV novel “Chimu-Dondon”, which has reached its 9th week of broadcasting, has attracted unexpected attention.
The trigger was that the identity of the owner of the restaurant where the heroine Nobuko Higa (Yuna Kuroshima = 25) works was revealed. Some people evaluate this as “foreshadowing recovery”, while others say “foreshadowing recovery is nothing”.
“Are you going to collect this hint?”
In the 42nd broadcast on June 7, 2022, the owner of the restaurant was found to be Nobuko’s grandaunt. In the second week of Nobuko, there is a story that she is about to be entrusted to a relative living in Tokyo due to the difficulty of her parents’ household, and that relative is the owner of her place of employment. was.
For this reason, the viewers commented on Twitter that the hints studded in the drama were recovered, such as “Oh, quite a hint recovery”. On the other hand, the question “Is this foreshadowing recovery?” Was raised at the same time.
It seems that there are many viewers who feel uncomfortable with the series of developments as “foreshadowing collection”, such as the fact that the developments are too easy to read.
“Owner, after all, it’s so difficult lol I can see it as a hint and I’m not surprised …”
“There is no surprise because all the viewers know.”
There is also a voice saying.
Is it really “foreshadowing recovery” that Nobuko realized that the owner = grandaunt? The J-CAST news editorial department asked Fuyu Kimata, a writer who is familiar with dramas, plays, and movies, about his views on this development.
“Somewhat aggressive impression …”
First, the editorial department asked if meeting the owner and noticing that the owner was a grandaunt could be called “foreshadowing recovery” in other dramas.
“‘Foreshadowing recovery’ is a surprising hidden technique that has been hinted at in advance and is involved in the story later. It is part of the story’s development that Fusako was a grandaunt later. However, it cannot be called “foreshadowing recovery”. Even if it is, it is a plum course in Shochikuume. It smells too much that there is something. It is hard to think that Yuko and Nobuko are that grandaunt. I had a slightly forcible impression that I was there. When my child is taken over by Tokyo, I will leave the important child with my grandaunt’s name and what he is doing in Tokyo, so get information in advance. I think there were some viewers who weren’t surprised that it might make Nobuko recognize it. “
Then, what kind of development can be called “foreshadowing recovery”?
“For example, in” Hiyokko, “which was broadcast in the first half of 2017, the heroine’s father left his weight at a Western-style restaurant and went missing afterwards. It will play an impressive role only in the final episode without coming in. It seems that this was not prepared as a “secret line” from the beginning, but it is such a surprising thing that a casual thing called heavy comes out suddenly. I think that will be the taste of the story. In “Chimudondon”, for example, Nenny’s fraudulent $ 960 seems to be soaring the money he bought 20 years ago, and in the end it is multiplied. Wouldn’t it be a nice hidden line collection if it came back? “
Is “Come Come” Yasuko’s re-appearance a hint recovery?
How about the development of the first heroine, Yasuko Tachibana (Mone Kamishiraishi = 24) of “Come Come Everybody” broadcast in the latter half of 2021?
At the end of the film, Yasuko disguised her identity and appeared as Annie Hirakawa (Ryoko Moriyama = 74), a Hollywood official. She was finally directed to find out that she was Yasuko. Mr. Kimata saw this development as follows.
“It’s not a hint or a recovery, it’s a form that maximizes the emotional reunion of the separated mother and child. America, English, movies, the name Annie, etc., this is a proud answer. If there were few mistakes, it would have been that the story leading up to that point and each of the characters were carefully drawn, and that many viewers were eager for Yasuko’s re-appearance, so I was waiting! ”
