Sooooo Underrated
This series turned out to be so much better than the reviews lead you to believe!!!
I've never been one for giving praise to "affairs" in a story, where innocent people are hurt ... but this series is the exception. It's such an intriguing drama between two best friends that both fall fall for two older women, both women twice the age of the men ... but it's so much more than that.
Ren Nagase plays his character with such an innocence, his moral standards may be bad, but he really makes you root for him. Genta Matsuda delivers the same way. What starts out to be just a game to win over an older woman, turns out to be the true love in his life. Together, these two deliver both brilliant performances, (and I'm surprised to be saying this), but I wanted both of them to truly be successful in their adulteristic ways. The women opposite these protagonists were clearly unhappy in their lives. Yuka Itaya & Megumi gave us two characters we felt empathy for, making us like them for betraying their husbands.
Like I said, I wouldn't normally give this a high rating, but something about how everything falls together, I think it's a brilliant series!
The bond the two protagonists have toward each other, Toru & Koji, it shows how best friends are there for each other for whatever situation arises. They both need each other, especially since they are both in the same situation.
I kept waiting for the drama to turn bad, but it never did. Right until the credits roll in episode 9 ... excellent. truly excellent!!
There's a line used in the last episode that's so true ... "One man's truth is another man's bias".
