Sengyou Shufu Tantei ~Watashi wa Shadow
May. 15th, 2017 09:55 amHousewife Serina Asagi（Kyoko Fukada）loves her husband Takefumi Asagi (Naohito Fujiki) passionately. Takefumi is an elite salaryman who works at a brokerage firm. Serina is teased by others that she is a shadow who lives behind her husband, but Serina Asagi is happy to live for Takefumi. She wants to be Takefumi's shadow and to do her best for him .
Takefumi is not as comfortable with Serina showering him with so much attention. Takefumi also has something else to worry about. Chihaya Niiyama（Yuriko Ishida is his boss and quite beautiful. Chihaya forces Takefumi to enter into a dating relationship. Takefumi Asagi is unable to turn down Chihaya's advances. He becomes worried.
One day, at the impetus of friend Motoko Tokura（Sei Ashina), Serina decides to have lunch with Motoko's male co-workers from a publishing company. On the way back home, one of the men gets close to Serina. At that moment, Detective Haruki Jinnai（Kenta Kiritani) takes a picture and threatens Serina to reveal the picture unless she pays him money. Serina doesn't have any money, but she definitely doesn't want her husband to see the picture. Instead of paying Haruki, Serina ends up going to this office and working as his assistant. She also learns the tricks of the trade and self defense. Through the training, Serina also starts to change. She wasn't able to express her own opinions before, but now can solve problems and help others. She also takes up the guise of a beautiful woman with the help of makeup artist Takeni Toshoma（Arata Furuta) for work. (asiawiki-2011)
I binge-watched this dorama the whole weekend. I can't believe I've never read nor see anything about this, the cast includes Fujiki Naohito and Kiritani Kenta! Fukada Kyoko and Endo Kenichi! Ishida Yuriko and Furuta Arata! The cover looks like a fun show. And the song is catchy.
This kind of drama suits Fukada Kyoko so well. She is stunning, looks like a doll. Acts like a doll too, sometimes very wooden. And she loves to pout, but she does it so well! She is perfect for a simple-minded character. Recently I watched "Please love the useless me" (which was good, btw) and I said that Shunin was like Buchou, a little bit. And surprise! She has a dorama with Buchou, nonetheless.
I liked the show, otherwise I wouldn't have finished it in a couple of days. It was light, as light as a dorama about cheating husbands can be. Kiritani Kenta runs an agency that investigates extra-marital affairs. Serina comes to work for him, and in the meantime, disguises herself to be close to her husband in his office. So while she is in disguise most of the times, it was pretty much the same outfit, not all the variety that shows in the poster, which was a bit disappointing.
I hate love triangles, and even if the two guys are these 2 hotties, I couldn't like it. Besides, for the first time, I had a 2nd-lead-syndrome. Guy 1 is a jerk, does not appreciate Serina, takes her for granted, commits the biggest treason, does not deserve her love. Guy 2 has a lot more chemistry with her, is the only really likeable character among punchable characters, and what is more, is not a jerk.
And Serina... my, I wanted to shake her so badly many times through the drama. All she says is "Fumi-kun, Fumi-kun". She is very in love with her husband, to the point where she looks obsessed. She is the sweetest, but also a stupid, weak, and too forgivable. She does nothing. This is supposed to be the journey of a dependable woman that becomes stronger, but if stronger means turning right... (???) Every day she is watching her husband with his boss, flirting or not, sharing a mascot charm strap, etc, etc, and she does nothing except mope. Gawd, it was infuriating.
Terrible ending. She does not change at all. Oh, and btw, her father is another big jerk! Can't recommend this to any feminist. The romance is super offensive. Taking aside that offensive fact, Serina in cover + some cases were amusing to watch.
**My rating: 6/10**
