After actually watching this work, I was impressed by Kana Morisawa's role as the mother. She has a past of being raped by her husband's boss decades ago, and after her husband's sudden death, she single-handedly raised her daughter Miona. Just as she was enjoying the joy of Miona securing a job, the shocking twist unfolded at her husband's memorial service, where Miona's boss turned out to be the perpetrator from that time. Morisawa's sharp beauty perfectly suits the mother role, delicately portraying the strength and fragility of overcoming hardships.
However, the male actors led by Yoshimura felt lacking. They missed the sticky intensity and fierce entanglement seen in past series with actors like Tabuchi, and the past rape scenes were weak, undermining the overall tension of the work. The previous installments' intruder-type stories were more concise and effective in highlighting the series' appeal, which is regrettable.
If the series is to continue, I hope for a review of the depiction of past scenes and the casting of male actors, aiming for more dramatic and impactful direction. I earnestly desire a work that fully utilizes Morisawa's acting skills and offers greater depth.
