Title Fishbowl Wives
Sometime with j-dramas, I feel we are oscillating between total prude and full on soft porn! This left me wondering…
It depends on what type of jdramas you tend to watch. A big part of my watchlist, if not most of it is made of jdramas, yet I wouldn't generalise about the intimacy moments and how they are shown. There are certain types and genre of series, some are full on fanservice with not much of a plot, others want to show the rawness of the real life situation. In this series they've used it for the latter. Intimacy isn't always about the money (and that's really an insult for the actors playing here which are most very respected and talented), it is a part of life, and to portray the deep dark reality of some situations in adults' lives they can't beat around the bush about it. The naked body is a work of art, but to label it just as "porn" it means that the whole depth behind the scene was totally missed.
