Tetsuya Nakano, a tech CEO, is driving his company into the ground with reckless spending and bad investments. As his authority crumbles, his long-time partner Higashio plots a hostile takeover. But it's not just the company he wants; he sets his sights on Tetsuya's beautiful wife, Nao, a former celebrity, slowly seducing her while her husband's world falls apart.










Compared to director Nagae's Reiko Kobayakawa and Maki Hojo entries, the final 'total corruption' is much improved. The addition of the wife becoming aware of her husband's presence—something missing in previous Nagae works—adds a sense of immorality and highlights the wife's resilience, making for a truly exciting scene. However, by setting her as a 'trophy wife,' the film misses the classic Nagae trope of a high-class lady falling to the absolute bottom. I didn't feel the same sense of ecstatic corruption from Nanao that I did with Reiko or Maki. If that had been captured, it would have been perfect and surpassed his previous works. Reiko and Maki are just in a league of their own. Given Nanao's skills, the trophy wife setting was appropriate, and her perfect, former-celebrity physique was great. This series hasn't had a new release in a while; I really hope they bring it back. Wouldn't Ryo Ayumi be a perfect fit?
*The beautiful VIO line was very attractive. As the story goes, you'll want to train this kind of masochistic married woman and impregnate her. The hurdles are high for NTR married women.
Her acting isn't great, but I keep buying her works because I love Nanao-san's vibe, and in the end, I was satisfied.
I like Nana Nakano and was looking forward to the drama format, but I think I had my hopes up too high. I feel like there are many other drama-style works that are better than this one.
I had high hopes, but... I guess it's the same with every series; nothing ever beats the first one.
