HND-824 - Reunited with my childhood friend from the orphanage at a soapland - Rei Kuruki

I'm glad it had a happy ending. The story starts with a reunion at a soapland between two people who grew up in the same orphanage, now as client and worker, but it wasn't too heavy or dark, making it easy to watch. Since Rei-chan is my type, I enjoyed it purely as a soapland-themed film. It was also great to see them having sweet, intimate sex at home at the end.

The story is a bit grim, but it was a soapland-themed work with Kuruki-san, so it wasn't bad. She was an actress I was really into back then.

I first discovered her through the 'Virgin Boy's First Time' series, and this one has a similarly bittersweet vibe. It might just be the perfect setting to make her slim, tan physique shine. I'd rate this much higher than her previous work. Enjoy watching her earnest performance.

She's known for her acting, so I bought this expecting a solid performance in the drama scenes. The plot involves reuniting at a soapland with a guy she used to call 'big brother' at the orphanage. From the date to the final scene in his room, her expressions, lines, and acting were just overflowing with charm.

Kuruki Rei has a strange charm. She's not a stunning beauty, nor does she have an overwhelming figure, but that 'ordinary girl' vibe is actually her strength. It's comforting and healing. Soapland stories usually follow the cliché of the girl meeting a 'better man' than her partner and falling for him, but this flips that trope in a good way. Two people who grew up like siblings reunite in the surreal setting of a soapland and rediscover their feelings for each other. The final scene of them sharing a pot of food is a happy ending that makes you imagine their future—it felt like watching a real movie.
