Fan reviews: Hanayome wa Yakudoshi!

rinarina · 8 Dec 2008

The story is really ordinary about a family which run a peach farm with the mother as the head of the family. The mother was really emotion less and didn't bother about other people's feelings including her children, but it changed when Akiko (Shinohara Ryoko) came to the picture. Slowly She changed her mother in law perspective and brought the family closer to each other including mended her fake-fiance relationship with his mother.

This drama is quite rare. what I mean of rare because Ichirou (Akiko fake-fiance) was match in terms of mind thinking and not weak like other male characters in Japanese drama (ex/ I'VE BEEN MARRIED TO HELL cast. Yukie Nakama) with Akiko, he had his own way of thinking and had a pride. Nonetheless he was a match for Akiko. Second point is the ending, Akiko and Ichirou had been marriage for 3 years and she was PREGNANT, that's really good. I seldom see this pragnency thing in Japanese drama well may be a lot in Thailand dramas.

This drama is a muct watch drama, not to forget a good soundtrack.

This drama was a lot of fun. Mind you, I usually enjoy anything Shinohara Ryoko is in, but this drama had its own merits that made it a fun comedy.

I really enjoyed the different types of characters. They werenft your stereotypical characters, but rather interesting and silly ones. A good example is Kaori, who was one of my favourites. She plays the antagonist, and yet she wasnft evil. She was just mean, but her silliness made the meanness light. Iwashita Shima, who plays the head of the Azuchi family, was fabulous and her pairing with Shinohara was grand.

The story was predictable and the plot was a no-brainer, but this is hardly a fault considering the lightness of the drama. It was just fun. Thatfs all there was to it.
