Mao HamasakiMao steps in as a mannequin for her husband's company, only to find herself standing naked in front of a class, enduring intense humiliation.
*NG was good. After all, he was an easy-to-understand person. The actor pinpoints what he feels and pushes him. In the main story, her eyes didn't move like a mannequin.
The premise of multiple people messing with a single mannequin is top-tier. However, it's a shame that only one person knows the mannequin's true identity. I really wanted to see her get toyed with by multiple people who know the truth while she thinks no one suspects a thing. Looking forward to the next one.
The charm of this series is watching people pretend to be mannequins, only to fail and let their voices or expressions slip. That moment where the 'mannequin' act breaks and you see the real person behind the performance is a unique selling point no other series has. I love the NG compilations where they can't hold back and climax despite being mannequins, but in this one, the director and the male actor kept cutting her off just as she was about to peak. It's a shame to cast someone as sensitive as Mao Hamasaki and then give us such an unsatisfying NG reel. I'm hoping the next one is a masterpiece on par with the Kirie Kawasaki and Yu Shinoda versions!
I mean, there's no emotion, right? But even if you try to play a mannequin, there's a limit to acting like a real one. Every part of an actress is sensitive, so she's bound to moan (lol). I don't think there's any need to force the mannequin act. Honestly, I don't get why they cast Mao Hamasaki just to make her play a mannequin!
