Fishbowl Wives Review And Analysis
First of all, I have to say that anyone who likes to watch love stories in a way that has to have a Happy Ending in terms of the hero and the heroine will have to end well. For this you will be crushed. Because this story opens, it is found that almost all the couples in the story have been married or have been living together for a while. But their lives weren’t always going well. Because otherwise in the real world there would be no problem of divorce, adultery, infidelity, violence. and many other problems.
This story seems to reflect the state of Japanese society where women have always been somewhat suppressed. especially married women who have already married Status has almost changed from before. had to become the elephant behind him and help support the man called for many things whether giving birth to a child backyard care until he had to give up his talents and career paths in addition, many women may have thought that in their youth, they probably had dreams. There are various life paths you want. But after getting married, you must follow your husband. which are values that have been cultivated in Japanese society in addition, while the husband, if cheating on his wife, is seen as a normal occurrence. But on the other hand, wives who are unfaithful to their husbands are often condemned.
And in fact, I must say that the presentation of this story is a reflection of Japanese society and family at a level that is rarely presented. But lately we will start to find that both series and manga in Japan are starting to show more in this respect. is the problem of adultery violence, infidelity, and other problems related to couples that are more than just They met, fell in love, got married, and then ended up like After Ever, like in a fairy tale. This story is about bringing out the truth that fairy tales and true stories are different things.
For an overview of the story and the conclusion that came out It is quite profound and takes many forms through the couples and women in the story. Some couples can be a bit annoying to the point of being a bit runny. Some couples seem like the characters are making their situation too difficult. But if anyone who has passed through the world through life in love or married life to a certain extent May feel very intrigued by the story that goes on from the beginning to the end of the women in this story which allows us to see that Married life will be able to survive all the time. Being in love alone is not enough. It is filled with many environmental factors, from business, finances, readiness to love life in bed.
In addition, there is a highlight that must be admired for this story is the casting of the actors. The cast of this film did a really good job. All the women who play in this story, besides having pretty faces and cute, are also charming in their performances. Plus, each person is called to show a full nudity scene. We’d seldom see anything like this in a typical female series if it wasn’t for Netflix (the nudity is like The Naked Director, but this one is more subtle and more like a female audience).
The most must-sees are the three main actors. In particular, actress Ryoko Shinohara, who plays the role of Sakura, the heroine of this story, and Takanori Iwata, who plays Haruto, a young goldfish shop with a background from a wealthy family and owns. big company but instead chose the path to run a goldfish shop rather than join his father’s big company. which he performed as charmingly as the role of a young man who shakes the heart of a married woman. But this has some disadvantages. Whether it’s frustrating in terms of logic, many characters but here it is understandable. Because many real-world couples have even worse logic. Otherwise the problem of infidelity and divorce would not arise.
There are also issues that may be offended by some in the end, such as the incessant separation of married couples, even though they have problems leading to divorce. But there is also a matter of concern and relationships that are so bound together that it is difficult to easily break apart. The decision at the end of the main heroine of this story, Sakura, may be very upsetting to the audience. while the protagonist Haruto Accepting the decision at the end of this story is so damn protagonist. who allows Sakura to return to help her ex-husband who has already divorced another one is in terms of “business”, the decision to go back and help her ex-husband to revitalize the salon business was a business that Sakura played an important role in in the first place? Here personally, I feel that this story presents a very realistic and realistic conclusion. Because the characters can separate their love and affection from their own business and career decisions.
Fishbowl Wives Review: The Last Words
It’s fun and it’s good, but this story is quite real. In terms of married life It’s not like the world of fiction has to be all beautiful. Many people may be offended. But it is considered something that has finished watching and invites you to think further. It’s not over, it’s over.
