Love Affairs in the Afternoon / Hirugao 2014

Annyeong, Annyeong Yeorobun!!! Jincha oraenmannida......lol
Ok so i know i haven't posted in a while I have to apologize for that life kinda sorta got in the way. I have been keeping up with my dramas though lol. 

Looking for a marathon worthy drama that will leave you at the edge of your seat by the end of every episode and is in Japanese??? Well look no further because this is just a treat with fantastic actors and actresses. Mind you it has all the annoying characters you'd expect in a drama if not worse because it is just 11 episodes.
Soooo..... This drama! I really don't know where to begin with the description but it is so intense and gut wrenching. Talk about an emotional drama...Leave it to a Japanese drama to put you through a roller coaster of feelings in just 10 episodes (the final episode will be airing in 2days and at the moment my heart is in my throat the wait is killing me). 
Let's not forget the eye candy. I swear i have been sleeping on my Japanese dramas. Well that will soon be over because there are some really fine men on that side and i am loving it honey. Life and oxygen and everything in between.

Sasamoto Sawa is a happily married housewife of 5 years, who works part-time as a cashier at a supermarket. Takigawa Rikako is also a housewife who had recently moved into the neighborhood. Rikako is the wife of the editor of a huge publishing company, and together with their 2 daughters, they live in a newly constructed home. Even though they seemed like a nice happy family, Rikako is actually having affairs in the afternoon, while her husband is at work and her kids are at school.
One day, Rikako is with one of her numerous lovers, a young man by the name of Hagiwara Tomoya, but while in the supermarket's carpark, a high school student, Kentaro, tries to rob them. The police shows up and Rikako needs to cover up the fact that she was having an illicit rendezvous with Tomoya. Spying Sawa leaving the supermarket for home, Rikako quickly pulls Sawa to her side and claims that she was actually at the supermarket with Tomoya to meet up with Sawa, as the three of them had pre-arranged to have coffee together. Sensing Rikako's desperation, Sawa decided to fall in with the act, and backs up Rikako's story. While sorting out the case with the police, Kentaro's form teacher, Kitano Yuichi, shows up to bail his student out. After this chance meeting with Kentaro, Sawa finds herself unable to forget Yuichi, and soon, the two of them become lovers...[wiki]
The drama is fantastic and is subbed at +DramaFever. Enjoy.....

PS: I saw the final episode and although it wasn't what i expected it was a bitter sweet one. The fact that Rikako went back to her husband really rubbed me wrong. Without giving away too much i just wanted to say i love the whole drama for what it's worth. The actors really did deliver.
