Script written by Kaseifu no Mita's writer. It has received good response from the audience with 14.4% rating for Ep1, but it has also received some critics that says this drama is too much similar to Kaseifu no Mita. The difference is only: the old one was a housekeeper and this new one is someone's wife.
I personally loved Episode 1. It's true that the story kinda similar to Kaseifu no Mita, but I love it anyway, maybe cause I'm still not bored with Kaseifu type of story. Mysterious and strange woman and no one knows her past but everything she does, she does it perfectly. Shibasaki Kou's character, Hikari, though... unlike Matsushima Nanako's Mita, smiles all the time. A very steady smile, that I'm guessing she might be programmed to smile like that.
I like this kinda eerie character^^ Her husband's family is interesting too and ...realistic, should I say? All three siblings doesn't want to shoulder the burden of nursing their mother, such cruel children. And I like the nephew, but he seems interested in suicide methods.
I almost have never watched any drama with Higashiyama Noriyuki in it, but I immediately love his "husband" character in this drama.
I will expect that I might get disappointed when the mysteries are revealed, that's usually what happens when I watch family mystery drama like this. I was disappointed with the last half of Bara no nai Hanaya and disappointed with Kaseifu no Mita's last episode.
But I will enjoy the drama for now^^
