The reason why "Ossan's Love" is a trending topic
Immediately after the 1st episode was aired, people on social media began raving about the maiden-like personality that the drama series' heroine(?) Kurosawa Musashi shows in front of Haruta.
One of the drama series' official Instagram accounts is named "Musashi's Room" and it belongs to Kurosawa Musashi. Uploaded on that account are many secret photos of Musashi's heartthrob Haruta (or Harutan as Musashi likes to call him), accompanied with hashtags that blatantly reflect Musashi's maiden mind. As of May 14, the account has gained more than 300,000 followers.
As the plot of the drama advances, social media users are seen reacting to, supporting, and talking about the drama series in ways that defy gender stereotypes.
