■Episode 4, which aired on May 2nd, became a hot topic on SNS as soon as it started, with “#Truth of the Promised 16th Year” trending on X (formerly Twitter).
Yomiuri TV/Nippon TV’s Platinum Thursday drama “Promise: The 16th Year of Truth” (broadcast every Thursday at 11:59 p.m.) is gaining momentum.
This drama, in which Anne Nakamura and Yutaka Yokoyama (SUPER EIGHT) co-star for the first time, tells the story of the main character, Aoi Kiryu (played by Nakamura), who was robbed of everything due to a serial murder case that happened in the past, and returns to her hometown of Mochino as a detective. A psychological suspense drama that begins with a twist.
This drama is unpredictable and must be considered, with new truths being revealed in each episode, but the fourth episode, which aired on May 2nd, became a hot topic on SNS as soon as it started, and X (former Twitter) posted “# 16 Years of Promised Truth” is trending. Many viewers were hooked by the way the show felt like an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.
In addition, viewers who watched the preview for next week said,
“Please let me watch episode 5 soon…”
“I can eat three bowls of rice just by giving advance notice.”
“There’s too much information in the trailer. Episode 5 is scary. It’s scary, but I want to watch it.”
“I’m so worried about the preview that I’m going crazy.”
Many people couldn’t wait for the broadcast to air. The enthusiasm for consideration continues to heat up.
In the fourth episode, the secret that Aoi’s classmate Megumi Bito (Manami Satsukawa) and Megumi’s father, Makoto Bito (Hajime Inoue), the president of BITO Corporation, have been hiding for 16 years is revealed, and one incident is revealed. Solved. In its contents,
“The contrast between Bito and Hayami was heartbreaking… I guess both father and daughter were dazzled by Hayami’s straightforward way of life.”
“You’re such a blessing…I want you to be happy.”
I was shocked by what Bito and his son were carrying.
■The truth is revealed one by one, and the story moves to the core of the incident…!
In the 5th episode[Memory]broadcast on May 9th, Aoi (Anne Nakamura), who was supposed to have lost some of her memories before and after the incident due to the shock of discovering the body, has memories…!? And Megumi Bito… Who is the culprit who kidnapped (Satsukawa Manami)’s daughter…!?
I’m starting to get into a routine of watching this movie in real time and then rewatching it on TVer to clear my head. TVer is distributing all episodes 1 to 4 for free for one week only.
[Episode 5 synopsis]
When Aoi (Anne Nakamura) sees the body of Makoto Bito (Hajime Inoue) who had died in the detention center, she has a flashback to when she discovered the body of Sho Fuwa’s (Yoshihiko Hosoda) sister 16 years ago.
The Nozomu Police Station Investigation Section 1 is investigating the culprit who kidnapped Bito Megumi’s (Satsukawa Manami) daughter. Kei Kosaka (Hiroshi Yokoyama) claims that she is a person involved in an incident 16 years ago at the request of the kidnapper.
Aoi asks Fuwa if there is anyone else who knows the code that only they should know. Fuwa replies that his sister Rei knew the code. Aoi borrows Rei’s belongings from Fuwa and examines them. In the midst of this, Aoi’s memories of her come back to life.
The media became aware of the possibility that the unpublished eyewitness testimony from the incident 16 years ago was false, and the coverage became heated. What’s more, an article is circulating that accuses Aoi of being the daughter of a serial killer from 16 years ago who lied about her identity and became a police officer. Aoi is ordered by Kento Ichijo (Takashi Okabe) to keep her at home until the situation calms down.
