Drama - Hirugao

Submitted by kwa on Thu, 04/23/2015 - 03:10

Cheating, Affairs, Drama!

A

ffairs everywhere! This show got really good ratings so I guess it appealed to a large popuation.

I Wonder What People Really Think

Like watching Desperate Housewives, 90210, or various other American TV shows; you would think that everyone cheats. This is what it feels like watching Hirugao. I have a group of friends that might act like this (to a lesser extent) and a group of friends who are disgusted by these types of activities. I'm not sure which faction represents the majority of people or if it's a split, but at least this drama is interesting.

Sawa's married life is difficult being in small apartment with her Mother-in-law.

The Plot

This plot is summed up simply as: affairs everywhere!. One day, Sawa decides to steal some lipstick at the supermarket where she works. The next thing you know, she is having an affair! The affair is egged on by Rikako, who moved in next to Sawa, and is sleeping around with many men. Rikako goes by the online nickname, "Hirugao," which is an old Japanese drama about a cheating housewife.

Sawa is an innocent girl who just falls in love with another man. She plays out to be somewhat of a victim of her sexless marriage and overbearing Mother-in-law. Rikako's husband is wealthier and they have two lovely daughters together. However, she plays herself to be a victim of her husband's disrespect and her boredom as a housewife. This drama is drama!

Sawa immediately falls for a school teacher, Kitano Yuichi

Final Thoughts

Rikako's husband is completely oblivious to his wife's many afternoon affairs

I really don't know what to think about this drama. I really didn't think I'd watch it until the end but I was hooked enough to want to know what happens. It's like those unrealistic American soap operas that have crazy things happen and for some reason, you just keep watching.

I do feel like this drama glamorized affairs quite a bit. Both women seem to be happier in their affairs and it seems like a shame they had to be with their husbands.

But it's confusing because there is a lot of dialogue that seems to say that affairs are wrong and nothing good can ever come out of them. Rikako and Sawa both seem to know they will have to atone for their sins and that is the nature of affairs. I would like to point out that this show makes the women look pretty bad, with the husbands being hard-working victims.

The wife begins to suspect her husband is having an affair.

I find it hard to believe that any marriage is perfect and any couple is completely happy. Relationships are difficult as is life. Is anyone completely happy all the time? So how can a couple be happy? Both life and relationship takes work. You have to go through a lot of challenges that you might not be able to overcome. The couples in Hirugao are faced with problems which they couldn't overcome. Their affairs, although good at first, will inevitably also face similar problems. I don't want to say it's right or wrong, it's just not necessarily the solution to an unhappy marriage.

ST. LOUIS -- Dexter

ST. LOUIS -- Dexter philadelphia phillies jersers Fowler detroit tigers jersers avoided the first water-cooler shower, juking his way through a mob of teammates giddy on the infield dirt. He could not avoid the second, the cold celebration that came minutes later, near his dugout. "I thought I eluded them, but they got me!" Fowler said afterwards. "I'll be ready next time." View Full Game st. louis cardinals jersers Coverage Fowler on his walk-off knock Fowler on his walk-off knock 01:02 1:15 PM ET Fowler's bath came as a reward for his 13th-inning single off Paul Sewald, which helped the Cardinals cap a long Thursday at Busch Stadium with a 4-3 walk-off win over the Mets. Fowler's hit made a winner of John Gant, who threw three scoreless innings of long relief in his season debut, and brought a climactic end to an afternoon in which Carlos Martinez and Noah Syndergaard dueled. "It felt like a playoff atmosphere," Fowler said. "We could see them again in the playoffs." Such long-distance forecasting is uncommon in the Cardinals' clubhouse, where focusing on the present qualifies as standard doctrine. But Fowler wasn't the only one alluding to the postseason Thursday, or speaking of the win in excitable terms. Jose Martinez called it the best victory of the season. Manager Mike Matheny called it "special." Cards on walk-off win over Mets Cards on walk-off win over Mets 01:01 1:15 PM ET "It was one of the best games I ever played," Martinez said. "We never gave up." Flummoxed by Syndergaard for much of the day, the Cardinals fought back from two deficits. Fowler and Marcell colorado rockies jersers Ozuna, two slumping but important regulars, drove in key runs. Gant, who woke up as a member of Triple-A Memphis and could end up back in the Minors soon, picked up a bullpen asked to record 21 outs.

Gant K's Cabrera Gant K's Cabrera 00:11 1:15 PM ET Martinez's two-out hit scored Tommy Pham and saved the Cardinals a half-inning after Luke Gregerson walked in the go-ahead run with the bases loaded. Pham started St. Louis' first rally with a double in the seventh, and finished with four hits, just one day after suffering a bizarre head injury in the batting cage. Two of those hits came off Syndergaard, who lined up with Carlos Martinez in a rematch of Opening Day starters. Pham's four-hit game Pham's four-hit game 01:00 1:15 PM ET There were 37,762 fans at Busch Stadium expecting to see a high-octane duel, and that's what they got, though both starters were long gone by the st. louis cardinals jersers end. Syndergaard's defense spoiled what was a dominant start through six; he finished with two runs (one earned) allowed over 7 1/3 innings. Martinez scattered four hits and a run over six frames, routinely wiggling out of jams brought upon by three hit batsmen. "That's unique, going into a rubber game against a good team with a good starter," Matheny said. "Great series."
