Also started watching the 2020 drama “Karera wo Mireba Wakaru Koto”, following two couples living in an apartment complex; Kaito and Momoko Uchida (Namase Katsuhisa and Miho Nakayama) and Kazuta and Mizuki Tomizawa (Yusuke Kamjiji and Tae Kimura) and the entanglements that occur once a new young couple Yosuke and Rumi Kamoi (Hiroshi Nagano and Yuko Oshima) move in and they discover that husband Yosuke is Momoko’s ex-husband!
Things are further complicated when it is revealed that the Uchida’s college son Shuji (Yuto Takahashi) is in fact YOSUKE’S child, though , since they divorced before she knew she was pregnant, Momoko has never told him.
While all this is going on, there is more trouble brewing with the Tomizawa’s. Though once a spirited boxe=r, nowadays husband Kazuta is content with being a mere househusband, leading wife Mizuki to become tempted with the young man under her care at her job named Morimura (Kou Nanase)...
A fine cast which also includes Nana Katase as Kaito Uchida’s savvy assistant Yamanaka, Yui Sakuma as Tomizawa daughter Mayu, and a commanding role from actress Keiko Takahashi as the Tomizawa’s Mother-in-law. this drama is filled with great acting and nice pacing!
Truthfully I expected this to be a bit of a dragging show, but I blew through three episodes like nothing! Only stopped to work up this post and will be heading right back to see where this is all going next!
PS: Always nice to see Miho Nakayama again! One of the original golden age stars who still captivates my heart!
