Okusama wa Toriatsukai Chuui 終わり

The Haruka Ayase/Hidetoshi Nishijima  drama Okusama wa, Toriatsukai Chuui  wrapped up this week and as with other shows that I love and get accustomed to watching every week, there's going to be a huge hole in heart for awhile! I really loved the characters and thought the great charm of the show was the friendship of the three main ladies (Ayase, Ryoko Hirosue, and Tsubasa Honda) was just as important as Nami's butt-kicking skills (which,  of course, provided the cherry on the top each week!)

That said, I wanted more out of the last episode. They seemed pretty rushed to wrap up the secondary storylines, and when I saw that it only had like 8 minutes left to go, I knew they weren't going to conclude Nami's 'story with her husband to any satisfactory degree.

Still, I did like the ending well enough (unlike Gomen Aishiteru and Kurokawa no Techou, which were some of the best dramas I'd ever seen until the last episode which took them off my list completely) and it's save to say that I'll be re-watching this show in the future.

You know what would help the end of Okusama wa, Toriatsukai Chuui ? A Movie or a Special, just to properly tie up the story of Nami and her husband without leaving things so...meh. I remember watching the Masami Nagasawa/Tomohisa Yamashita Proposal daisakusen and thinking the ending was unfulfilling, then when the movie came out, it tied things up so satisfactorily that it ended up being one of my favorite dramas of ALL TIME!

Come on, NTV! With a 12.65 Viewing Average rating isn't Okusama wa, Toriatsukai Chuui

WORTH IT?
