Who Is This Stunning Beauty!? Viewers Are Mesmerized by the Young Verdigris Madam in "The Apothecary Diaries"

The shocking true identity of an unbelievably gorgeous woman...!? In episode 28 of the anime "The Apothecary Diaries," a depiction of the Verdigris Madam's (CV: Kimiko Saitō) younger days caused a stir among viewers, prompting reactions like "Who are you!?" and "She’s insanely beautiful!"

As the proprietor of the Verdigris Pavilion, the Verdigris Madam is known as a greedy, overbearing old woman. However, in her youth, she was apparently a top-class courtesan famed for her "Pearl Tears." It is said that she was once chosen as the lead dancer to entertain an envoy visiting from a foreign country, and the episode depicts the youthful Verdigris Madam dancing elegantly.

Many viewers were shocked by the appearance of the young Verdigris Madam—a look unimaginable (or is it!?) from her present demeanor—exclaiming things like "Who are you!?," "She’s so beautiful...," "Wait a minute, young Verdigris Madam is just my type," and "She’s seriously an incredibly stunning beauty!"
