So, in the Eita/Keiko Kitagawa divorce drama “Rikokatsu”, there have always been people on both sides of couple Koichi and Saki Obara either cheering their support or vying for their breakup, and on the Koichi side, there has always been his superior Jun Ichinose (Momoko Tanabe) hoping for a separation between Obara and his wife. This is, of course, because SHE secretly is in love with him, but he sees her only as his superior.
Little by little she does things to help drive a wedge in between Koichi and Saki, from leading Saki out into the wilderness during a picnic and leaving her there, to flat out calling her out and suggesting Saki divorce Koichi because she is making him miserable.
Well, by episode 6, Saki and Koichi have indeed submitted their papers for divorce and have begun living separately. How much influence Ichinose had in this is hard to say, but once she finds out that Obara is now single, she immediately shows up at his doorstep with food…and HOLY HELL, SHE IS SIMPLY STUNNING!!!
“Holy COW, is that ICHINOSE????” I gasped as I saw her. As some of you may remember, I always liked her character (even when she was being mean to Saki) because I knew her love for Koichi was pure. And now it looks like she might have a chance after all!
She even instantly wins over Koichi’s usually grumpy and hard-to-please Father!
Looks like Ichinose has become quite a formidable foe indeed! How will Saki deal with this new opponent??? Only time Will Tell!!!
