Both dramas have glimpses of the relationships of two couples before and now.. and after their so-called breaks up (as in the Before we get married no matter how insistent one of the party was.. the other didn't want to accept a break up). They have cheating in it... The actual cheating with bodies. The cheating as in the emotional sense. In both one of the exes is exploring the other for money and is being nosy about his/her new relationship.
The drama really is on the cutting edge for examining the social, emotional and physical relationships that exists between two adults. That relationship is expanded by the interaction with friends, co-workers and even parents. It also is realistic because in most long term relationships there are interventing circumstances that will change the "love story" of the adults involved. This drama has a good depiction of murphy's law. Everything possible started to go wrong because of one intervening party's opinion. I call in "enlightenment" combined with lust (initially).
Yoshino Michi is 32 years old. She's been married for five years, but hasn't had sex for the last two. It's not as if she doesn't get along with her husband, it's just that the sex part is lacking. It was a bit unexpected, but one night when she when drinking with her colleague, Niina Makoto, she wound up confessing that her marriage had turned sexless. And then, a shocked Niina responded "My marriage is sexless, too," and smiled with a lonely look in his eyes.
