The story was terrible. Noburu is practically perfect: he works from home, handles all household tasks, and while he silently mourns a past love, he never confronts his wife. Aiko, meanwhile, is a serial cheater who flaunts her affairs—posting Noburu’s homemade bento as her own cooking, bragging about gifts, calling Noburu her “boyfriend”—yet suffers no real fallout. The emotional impact never lands, and the finale offers zero justice or closure. Aiko moves on effortlessly, the lover continues cheating, and Noburu’s grief fades without resolution. There's no sense of justice, no deep catharsis—just melodrama.

Acting didn’t save the show. Noburu is likable but overly passive, and Aiko’s narcissist traits feel flat rather than complex. The supporting cast never elevates the material—they just wear the script.

The music was nonexistent for you—and deservedly so. The soundtrack is forgettable, ineffective at punctuating emotion or building tension.

Absolutely no rewatch value. With one-dimensional characters, predictable arcs, and no redemption or payoff, you'd never choose to revisit this.
