Japanese Drama《Smiling Russian Doll》Episode 4 Plot Analysis

The recently popular film and television drama called "Smiling Russian Doll" has a strong cast, not only good looks, but also superb acting skills, and the plot is also very attractive.Therefore, this drama has attracted a large number of viewers, and the discussion on the plot analysis of the fourth episode of the Japanese drama - Smiling Russian Doll is particularly heated.The audience also hopes to discuss this issue in depth, so today I will talk with you.

In the first few episodes, Takaoka Saki, who made people very curious about her true identity every time she briefly appeared, turned out to be the mother of Kiyie Ichiro (Sho Sakurai).From the investigation on the road, we can learn that this beautiful witch is named Kiyoe Hiroko and is from Ehime Prefecture.Back then, she went to Tokyo to work as a hotel lady, and met the Kiyo family's biological father, Wadajima Yoshitaka (Kato Masaya). After becoming pregnant with the Kiyo family, she returned to her hometown and married a local rich man.Two or three years later, her husband died in a traffic accident, leaving a large inheritance to the mother and son.

In the previous episodes, Hiroko learned about the situation of the Qing family through Sasaki's tips.It seems that the mother and son are currently in a state of disconnection.However, when Haozi deliberately concealed his identity and approached Daoshang, Haozi once said: - The bond between mother and son is stronger than anything else, even if they are separated.——This sentence is meant to comfort her on the surface, but it may also represent her relationship with her son Qingjia, implying that her son will never escape her grasp?It’s really scary to think about it!

From Councilor Takechi, to Michio's father, to Suzuki... This time even the Kiyo family's father died in a traffic accident, making Arisa Manaka (Momoko Tanabe) the biggest suspect because of her obsession with numbers.So it was whitewashed.After all, if traffic accidents were the usual modus operandi of the mastermind behind the scenes, and the earliest occurrence occurred when Arisa was only two or three years old, then it couldn't be Arisa.

Now all the clues lead to Haozi.It is possible that Haozi hired someone to fake a car accident in order to gain her husband's property. And because Representative Takechi's car accident also occurred in Ehime, it is possible that Haozi was the mistress who planned to take his life in order to push his son away as soon as possible.Take his place...?

The ex-girlfriend of the Kiyo family, whose real name is Manaka Arisa, has always called herself Miyoshi Miwako.It turns out that Miyoshi Miwako is a real person. She is the classmate who manipulates her classmates to bully Arisa.Perhaps it was this dark past that prompted her to change her appearance and become Miyoshi, imitating the manipulator behind the Qing family.And this may also explain why Arisa's attitude is so arrogant in front of the Qing family mother and son. After all, the bullying during school days should be more direct and rough bullying than psychological manipulation.However, she may never have thought that she was no match for Haozi at all.The scene where Arisa, Seike, Hiroko and Suzuki are eating, Arisa's words and deeds and the reaction of Seike's mother and son are also very strange...

In addition, Arisa’s Chinese pseudonym—Liu Lilan—in her script works is also confusing.Arisa's habit of using pen names started when she was a student. At that time, she used Miyoshi Miwako in the articles she wrote. This was the pen name she should have hated the most, but why did she use it this time - Liu Lilan?—The name?Is this person, like Miyoshi Miwako, a real person who exists next to her?In addition, is Arisa, who has been missing for 21 years, alive or dead?

As Takaoka's early identity was revealed, the mysterious woman No. 2 appears again, played by Zhen Feisheng.When Dao Shang went to the hospital to trick Suzuki and left, this mysterious woman appeared.Because she was standing not far behind her on the road at that time, with a meaningful expression on her face, people began to speculate about her true identity...

Possibility 1: Suzuki’s wife

Because the mysterious woman was walking towards Suzuki's ward at that time, and because she is similar in age to Suzuki, it is speculated that she may be Suzuki's wife who has not yet appeared.

Possibility 2: Fellow travelers on the road

Some people speculate that Michio had her appearance exposed by a magazine due to a scandal half a year ago. However, since half a year has passed, as Michio's husband said, most ordinary people have forgotten about it.But if you are a fellow reporter on Daoshang, I believe you will be impressed by Daoshang’s appearance.

Possibility 3: Political Secretary

Just like the reason for guessing that the mysterious woman is a reporter, if the mysterious woman is the secretary of a politician who has dealings with the Qing family, it would not be surprising that she would recognize Dao Shang.After all, the previous scandals that broke out on the road also came from the political world.

However, there are currently too few clues. Could the mysterious woman No. 2 be one of the characters in the Russian Doll?It's too early to tell at this point.

Under Michio's questioning, Suzuki told her the name of the Qing family's mother.But they emphasized that they only met a few times, but in Suzuki's memories, it can be clearly seen that Suzuki was obsessed with Hiroko at the time.Perhaps seeing Suzuki's little thoughts, Hiroko used him to help her get rid of Arisa, a thorn in her side.

Is Suzuki's true face a cunning fox as portrayed in the first episode, or is he just a low-ranking little bastard as Fujita Noriaga said?The preview of the next episode shows that there seems to be an ulterior relationship between Suzuki and Hiroko. Suzuki back then and Sasaki now seem to be Hiroko's means of manipulating his son?

When the Qing family saw that Daoshang resigned and opened an account to announce that he would become a freelance journalist, he immediately tracked Daoshang's account.It seems to confirm what he said - I will also pay close attention to you -.Was it because he suddenly blocked the road thousands of miles away to prevent his mother from extending his claws to her?And who is the person behind the Qing family who puts pressure on Tao Shang?
