Binged the 2021 drama series “Onna no Sensou: Bachelor Satsujin Jiken” this past weekend and what a ride it was!!!
Telling the story of seven women of all different types and occupations who participate in a reality show called “Get The Bachelor” in hopes of winning the eligible billionaire heir’s hand in marriage…only for the bachelor himself to end up stabbed to death…by one of the contestants!!!Yuta Furukawa stars as Tetsuya Naruto, the “prize” bachelor the hopefuls hope to snag in holy matrimony, and along for the challenge are:Wakana Shizuka (Wakana Aoi), A Sales Clerk
Reina Kawahara (Reina Triendl), A violinist
Rio Ichinose (Rio Teramoto), An ex-Idol
Ichika Morishita (Ichika Osaki), A Student
Rie Shimada (Rie Kitahara), a Nurse
Riko Suzuka (Riko Narumi), A Lawyer
and Sei Endo (Sei Matobu) as a Company President.
PS: I thought it was hilarious that the girls all share the same first name with their actress counterparts!
The drama begins with the Bachelor Naruto being murdered, but we must go back three days to when the girls first arrived to see exactly what has transpired. And over the course of the days, we see the fun, the talks and ALL the treachery that inevitably leads to the Heir’s untimely demise!This was a gripping mystery that I couldn’t stop watching and plowed right through, strangely, I thought it was going to be funnier than it was. I mean, I know it’s surrounded by a cold-blooded murder, but the way it was set up was so wacky and the characters so eccentric! But it actually ended up being way more serious than I’d thought, which is fine but MAN they could have done so much comedy with this material! Still, a FINE way to while away a weekend!
