This story is about the four sisters of
the Hanawake household as the second oldest sister returns to the house with
her three children after third failed marriage.
Hanawake Takemi (Mizuki Alisa) is the
second oldest of the Hanawake sisters and has three smaller children. She is
beautiful, smart, open, and can get every man to do what she wants. This is
also her problem: her husband gets jealous the moment she speaks with another
man. After finding out that her current fiancé didn’t divorce his previous wife
she decides to go home to her parents’ house. The three sisters on the other
hand are not too pleased with that: all three hate her and refer her as “The
Devil” especially the second youngest since she had lost several boyfriends due
to her sister’s beauty. The oldest daughter is Hanawake Fujiko (Kischise
Michiko) who doesn’t have time for men, mainly because she loves her job. The
second youngest Hanawake Sakurako (Kanjiya Shiroi) has zero luck in men, meets
a photographer Mashiko Shozaburo (Kato
Shigeaki) who is somewhat a player. And the youngest Hanawake Ume (Kawashima
Umika) starts to hate men after seeing how her sisters lead life.
Even though the sisters protest Takemi
moves in and makes havoc wherever she goes, and everything starts get really
messy when Mashiko gets interested in Takemi, and Takemi doesn’t seem to mind…
Hmm, when I started I really liked it
since I didn’t know what to expect, but as I continued I had issues being satisfied,
because I really was let down most of the time. Not that I was disappointed,
but I had a hard time relating to the characters as they kind of made unreasonable
choices and statements. Even though I like serious dramas, this kind of story
with sister feuds and seducing I kind of lose my base, mainly because it doesn’t
make sense to me. The cast is generally great with good actors, but when you
make characters that are unlikeable, you would usually give them at least one
decent quality instead of trying to make them sympathetic. But I guess they didn’t
think of that.
So not to spoil anything I would say a
okay drama with good moments.
