Sumire Hanaoka discusses VIVANT role on TBS variety show

Actress Sumire Hanaoka appeared on the TBS variety program ‘Love it!’ to discuss her role as the genius hacker ‘Blue Walker’ in the drama VIVANT. Her appearance was facilitated by comedian Oideyasu Oda, who expressed strong admiration for her character.

During the broadcast, Oda shared a personal theory regarding a scene in episode 18, suggesting that Hanaoka’s character’s decision to take over a specific hacking task implied she was hiding a secret from another character. Hanaoka clarified the scene, explaining that the character chose the more difficult task to facilitate teamwork rather than out of a desire to hide information.
