In this episode, we get more insight into Ren's personality. It's not surprising to hear that Ren has never really fall in love before. So who will his first true love be? Well, the answer is predictable even though I'm actually hoping for an unexpected ending.As for now, it does not seem like it will happen any time soon. Ren is very focus on his new role and so is Kyoko. They are both having their own troubles with the roles. It will be very interesting to see how they (especially Ren) overcome the problems. SummarySawara passes the original novel of the drama series 'Tsukigomori' to Kyoko. She will be playing Mio, the younger sister of a horrible girl who tries to get between the male lead, Ren, and the female lead. On her way out of LME, she hears someone crying in the hallway. When she looks, she finds a fair man in white suit crying. She then sees Ren's manager offering a drink to this man. Since they are talking about Ren, she can't help but to stay and eavesdrop. She's surprised to hear that Takarada, LME President, is against Ren's appearance in the drama. The man, who happens to be the drama's director, Ogata, laments that without Ren in the drama, there is no point in doing it as he won't be able to outdo the original drama, which was shown 20 years ago.Suddenly, Kyoko kneels down in front of them and admits that she has been eavesdropping and since this matter also concerns her, she expresses her desire to openly hear it out until the end. After a short moment, Ogata recognizes her name.Meanwhile, Ren is having a talk with Takarada. Takarada feels that Ren has not really fall in love before and thus is unsuitable for the role. Ren thinks otherwise and feels confident about outdoing what the predecessor had done. Takarada then comments that the girls Ren went out with left him because he's too cold. He tells Ren that when one falls in love, the more serious one is, the less composed one becomes. Ren leaves the room with permission (begrudgingly) from Takarada to act in the drama. Ren is determined that he will be able to outdo the original version no matter what. Still deep in thoughts, Ren hears a scream. Ren knows this voice. It's Kyoko's!Kyoko is upset to hear that she's not acting as a 'wonderful' rich girl. Instead, she's acting as a rich girl, who is filled with deep hatred and has a serious inferiority complex. Ogata is sad when Kyoko says she wants to quit. Ren interrupts the conversation when he realizes that Kyoko will be acting in the drama. Ogata explains that after watching Sho's promo video, he believes that Kyoko will be able to outdo the original Mio as Kyoko has an aura that's 'more evil than the devil and darker than the night'. Upon hearing that, Kyoko feels embarrassed and wants to walk away but Ogata begs her to stay. Ren then surprises everyone by saying that he will appear in the drama. Ogata is very happy to hear that. Kyoko decides to act too as she relishes this opportunity to watch Ren in action.The actual filming begins. Kyoko is having trouble playing Mio. Even after reading through the script thoroughly, Kyoko is not quite sure abour how to play the role. Ren gives her some good advice during the break.The filming restarts. Kyoko, who is still thinking about what Ren has said, totally messes up the first take. The worst thing is the actress who played Mio 20 years ago is present to witness everything. She's very worried that Kyoko will screw up and spoil the reputation of Mio and demands to ask Kyoko some questions to determine if she's qualified to play Mio. If Kyoko fails, she will have to step down from her role. Kyoko answers all the questions perfectly except the last one - why does Mio hate her cousin Mizuki?PicturesOgata - Director of 'Tsukigomori'Takarada: 'No one in their right mind would think your romance scenes are believable.'Kyoko: 'Sorry, it sounded like you were discussing something very serious so I was planning to leave. But now you’ve got me worried, and since I was eavesdropping already, I’d like to openly hear it out until the end.'Ogata: 'She has an aura that's more evil than the devil and darker than the night.''Tsukigomori'
