NHK's ‘Kaze, Kaoru’ Episode 63 Highlights Doctor Kurokawa’s Compassion

Episode 63 of NHK’s morning drama ‘Kaze, Kaoru’ depicts Dr. Kurokawa noticing that nursing student Tsuya is struggling with note‑taking and bandaging during a practicum. He discreetly assists her, allowing her extra time to write notes, an act observed by the protagonists Rin and Fuyu. Viewers praised the doctor’s gentle attentiveness on social media, posting comments such as “優しくてキュンとしちゃった” (“so kind, I’m swooning”) and “黒川先生がメロい” (“Dr Kurokawa is dreamy”).

The following episode, aired on June 25, continues the Meiji‑era nurses’ story. Rin (Mie) and Naomi (Uesaka) begin work at the Imperial University Hospital, encounter new colleagues—including the patient Kiyo—and confront the challenges faced by women entering the nursing profession in a rapidly modernising society.
