[Drama] Hanawake no Yon Shimai

Hanawake no Yon Shimai

I decided to watch this drama was because I know that Kawashima Umika, my favourite female actress, was one of the main casts. At first, I really didn't know that NewS's Kato Shigeaki was also in there so I was shocked when he first appeared in the first episode.

Anyway, about the drama. This drama is a story about the four sisters in Hanawa Family. Hanawa Fujiko (The first daughter) was a very hardworking woman. She worked as editor-in-chief and very admirable. But because she was focusing too much on her works, she didn't have time to think about marriage. When she finally realized that she was getting old and considered of getting married, she was dumped by her boyfriend. The excuse was because he thought that Fujiko would cared more about her work, rather than her husband. 

The second daughter was Hanawa Takemi. She had been married twice and divorced twice as well. She was about to get married  for the third time but got cancelled. With her three children, she moved back to the Hanawa family house. Her return was not very well welcomed by her other sisters because she was kinda disliked by them due to her attitude. Takemi, despite her strong appearance, she was actually very fragile inside and only cried when she was alone. She was also a hard working and really cared about her family. She sacrificed a lot just to see smiling face of her family but never really showed her attention to them. That was why she was easily being misunderstood. The only person who knows her well was her ex-husband and her mother.

The third daughter was Hanawa Sakurako. She was one of my favourite characters in this drama. She held a big grudge toward her sister, Takemi, for stealing her boyfriend long time ago and since then, she never got herself a boyfriend. Until she met Mashiro Shousaburou, played by Kato Shigeaki. She accidentally had sex with Mashiro on the first night they met and after that, they both began to see each other more and Sakurako couldn't help it but to fall in love with him.

The youngest daughter was Hanawa Ume, played by Kawashima Umika. She was an art student and boyfriendless. In her school, there was this senior who was very good looking. At first, Ume was only looking at him as an admired senior, but then slowly she started to develop the feeling of love toward him. Too bad, he already had a girlfriend and that girlfriend was the Miss Campus, the most popular girl in the school. Among her there sisters, Ume was close with Fujiko and just like Sakurako, Ume kinda disliked Takemi as well because of her demonic behaviour.

This drama has 11 episodes and throughout the whole 11 episodes, it shows a lot of development in the relationship of the four sisters. Like, how they slowly starting to trust each other, how they settle things with each other, how they join force for the sake of family and a lot of other things. The whole story is not bad and fun to watch. It just that...Mashiro really pissed me off that I skipped 3 episodes because of him. But don't get me wrong yet. I'm a big fan of NewS and of course, I love Shige! Hahah. Okay, that's all. Now, I need to look for another drama to watch.
