Boku no Yabai Tsuma (2016)

It's not your usual suspense ,mystery or love affair drama!

If you say this drama is rip-off version of gone girl, its only episode 1-2 and the rest... leave it with your imagination lol.

I cant predict the story like another suspense drama. I was ready for sad ending but the ending is quity satisyfying and make your mind blown. The pace are quite fast but acceptable . The police not too dumb like another mystery drama.Kuddos to the scripwriter.

The cast are veteran when come to the acting even there still minor turn-off that you can forgive. Ito Hideaki executed the role of husband very well. Kimura Yoshino as the 'yabai tsuma' is quite fabulous as the princess-like wife. The supporting cast are have important roles to the story.

I enjoy the drama to the fullest!

At least this drama can be the best drama of year...for me.

WOW, I enjoyed every minute of this drama. I loved it! It is true that it is similar in some ways to "Gone Girl": wife fakes her kidnapping, husband is a cheater who hates his wife. And that's it; there is where similarities end. This wife is crazy but not a psychopath; this cheater husband, besides being a cheater, is quite charming. There are feelings involved, and also money -a big part-, and surprisingly, there is also humor. I laughed many times, mainly because of Kouhei, the husband, played excellently by Ito Hideaki. His expressions of terror whenever he was with this wife were priceless XD I loved how afraid he was of everything; he really was naive and silly. His wife had a great time playing with him XD

Kimura Yukino as the wife was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. I don't think I'll be able to see her differently from the crazy, manipulative, lady-like, composed and lovely Maria-san. So beautiful too (her smile!). Actually, this couple was gorgeous.

And yay! Police here is smart and know how to do their jobs. I hate to watch dramas where the police is portrayed as useless and stupid. The detectives/cops connected the dots, suspected of everyone and MOVED in order to get to the truth. Kudos!

The mistress (Aibu Saki) is at least quite smart and not a nasty woman. To be honest, the only character I didn't like was the neighbor Kujirai Yuki, not sure if it was because she was so pathetic or I just didn't like how she was portrayed by the actress.

Every episode was a surprise. I couldn't predict any twist. Maria is the most likeable villain I've seen in a drama. I loved it from beginning to end. Actually, the end was genius XD

My Dangerous Wife (Japan) (2016) - I just watched this drama because of the on-going korean version that is currently airing. For a 9 episode drama, a lot happened. I must say I did enjoy the whole process but after watching this one, I am left with questions in my mind as to the female main lead, that is why I really want to watch the korean version for me to understand the drama, and maybe they would somehow elaborate more. Japanese dramas are really different from what I usually expect that is why I am amazed with this drama. The actors/actresses are well chosen, I find them convincing. Fully packed ang drama for me, there is always a significant activity per episode.
