Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered: The Dizzy Side of Airi Matsui in "Eroi Kareshi ga Watashi wo Madowasu"

 
Story of a very naive and ditzy girl named Hitomi Sakaino (Airi Matsui) whom, on the verge of her wedding day to an affluent businessman Keigo (Yuki Kousei) , crosses paths with the stoic construction worker Manabu (Sho Kasamatsu) when a playful wind steals her scarf and leads her to him, where the wide-eyed girl is immediately captivated by him and his sweaty, rugged looks!
Despite her being already engaged,  Hitomi can
't get him out of her thoughts even when she's being fitted for her WEDDING DRESS, and Mom Mariko (Sayuri Kokusho) and Sis Ruri (Rio Kanno) as shocked to see tears roll down her eyes!
Seeing her doubt, Mom and Sis Ruri try to assure Hitomi that her temporary indecision is nothing but Marriage Blues and that everyone has thoughts like hers when they are about to marry. 
They expect Hitomi to rise out of her funk herself soon enough. But when they spy on her with her fiance the next day..and see her nervously push him away when he tries to kiss her, they know this is a bigger problem than they thought!
Mom decides to take things into her own hands- With information gained by the Construction Company, they track down the guy Hitomi is infatuated with at his place to see how serious he is about her.
When he answers the door, Manabu makes no reply as the entourage bursts into his house for a few terse words! 
Once inside, the outspoken Mom assaults the guy about his intentions toward Hitomi…and of course they’re taken for a loop when they discover Hitomi has never even SPOKEN to the guy and doesn’t even know his NAME! She’s been obsessed with a practical STRANGER!
It's here that Mom and Sis realize how absolutely ADDLED Hitomi can be!
When asked what she sees in this guy she only saw once before, Hitomi dizzily sums up..."I guess...his SEXINESS??"
"WHAAAA!!!" Mom and Sis can't believe it and beat a hasty retreat!
Hitomi, however, still feels fate has brought them together and uses this opportunity to finally talk to this guy and get to know him better! She introduces herself and asks his name...
When from behind him a door slides open and a GIRL (Minori Hagiwara) stumbles out!
? ? ? ? ?
"Hey Manabu, who's this chick?" she asks, glaring at the confused Hitomi!
Gulp! Maybe this fated love of hers isn't QUITE as fated as she thinks!
LOL, another wonderfully wacky drama from Airi Matsui in another delightfully addled role, SO thankful since she’s been playing such a frumpy chracter in “Tsumari Suki tte iitai n Dakedo” and it’s good to see her back to her comedic roots!
Grabbed this for the Airi love but the scene stealer of the show has GOT to be Sayuri Kokusho as Hitomi’s spazzy Mom Mariko. Oh My GOSH, she and daughter Ruri have got to be the funniest comedy duo since DOWNTOWN, they are hilarious!
The back and forth between the mom and daughter as they try to assess the problem of Hitomi throwing away her marriage is great, with Mom crying that she’s going through menopause any time a situation upsets her, LOL
This drama is short on logic but long on silliness and I’m totally along for the ride! How did I miss this one when it was airing??? A FUN little show!!!!
