昼顔 - 平日午後3時の恋人たち- / Hirugao - Heijitsu Gogo 3 ji no Koibito tachi
(English title: Hirugao: Love Affairs in the Afternoon)
Very interesting look at Marital troubles that cause people to have affairs that in turn lead
to extreme Marital troubles.
The writers stayed away from condemnation, but also didn’t whitewash the reality of
the Sh_tstorm that affairs eventually create (Mari Yaguchi, anyone?)
Michiko Kichise & Aya Ueto
The two leading ladies were excellent in revealing their characters, but
must issue this disclosure: at no time did Aya Ueto appear in this outfit:
But what you did see in this 2014 drama were great performances by a
superb cast:
Houka Kinoshita and Michiko
Takumi Saito and Aya
Fun Fact: Saito san and Michiko worked together in the 2011 series
“The Woman of Steel Season 2”
Kosuke Suzuki, Ayumi Ito, Aya, and Takumi,
In a lighter moment on set
Michiko, Hana Toyoshima, &
Mayu Yamaguchi
Michiko and Kazuki Kitamura
A nice clip of the 2014 show with a segue into the 2017 film, which
marked Aya’s return to the big screen, after taking a Marriage/New Baby break.
