ADN-029 - Honey, please forgive me... Reignition of love, Kaori Maeda

Kaori Maeda is very pretty, cute, and has a great figure, but her acting is so bad that I gave up after about 10 minutes. I was watching for Tatsu-san, but the actress's poor performance really dragged the whole thing down.

The reviews were bad so I considered skipping it, but I wanted to see for myself. Pros: ・As others said, her body is just right. And sexy. ・The shower scene is top-notch. Cons: ・Terrible acting, just as rumored. ・The male lead is also too bad to carry a drama. ・It's at the wife's parents' house, so the husband isn't involved, which kills the sense of guilt/taboo. ・Even in the only scene with the husband, she doesn't even act surprised when he walks in; she just talks to him calmly. Overall, it's clear she's not cut out for drama-style AVs.

The title 'Reigniting Love' makes sense from the plot, but it deviated from the basic concept of the 'Honey, forgive me...' series. The issue is that in the final scene where the two lovers are together, even though the ex-boyfriend declares he's going to 'cum inside,' the married woman doesn't say a single word of refusal. Shouldn't there be at least a little guilt toward her husband to fit the 'Honey, forgive me...' title? If that were the case, it might have been a more interesting production if they had used more extreme lines like 'Fill my womb with your sperm!' I really wish they had depicted the wife's inner thoughts as she sends a fake email to her husband and continues the affair at the end.

I've been watching Yuna Mizumoto's works lately. She's left the AV industry to focus on stripping now, but she had this indescribable vibe as an AV actress that makes me really wish she'd come back. Because of that, whenever I watch other works lately, the actresses just don't compare to Yuna—they're really lacking. Kaori Maeda has the looks and the body, sure, but her performance skills are a no-go. I don't know how much Tatsu has worked since this, but while new actresses keep popping up, the industry's reliance on the same old guys—'Oh, it's him again!'—is a real problem. We need fresh, attractive male talent. Giving this a 5, with 2 points for effort.

There were a lot of low ratings, but I rented it hoping for some redeeming quality—but this was impossible. Within the first five minutes, the actress's wooden acting forced me into fast-forward mode, and the appearance of a man who could hardly be called an actor was just despair-inducing. After that, I just skipped through parts without any interest and gave up. To put it bluntly, it's just a story about a spineless, foolish woman being pushed around and violated between an arrogant husband and an aggressively forceful man. The script is childish, and even fast-forwarding through it was an irritating and unpleasant experience. I will never watch anything with this 'actress' or 'actor' again. I'll be avoiding this series for a while.
