After actually watching this work, I was deeply drawn into the masterful depiction of Hikaru's struggles in her marital relationship and her thrilling encounters with a man she met through a matching app.

In particular, the scene where Hikaru experiences SM for the first time features realistic expressions of confusion and curiosity, with bondage play presented softly yet beautifully, making it accessible and enjoyable even for beginners.

Admittedly, some bondage enthusiasts might find it too mild and lacking, but the avoidance of exaggerated performances and the natural pursuit of pleasure evoke empathy.

Moreover, intense elements like finger insertion into the navel are kept minimal, instead emphasizing psychological tension and interplay, resulting in a well-balanced overall work.

In the latter part, where the drunken husband brings a colleague home, the tension of infidelity escalates sharply, leading to a breath-taking development that deeply explores Hikaru's emotions wavering between the ordinary and the extraordinary.

Overall, it is an ideal introductory piece for SM novices, shining with beautiful visuals and meticulous direction.
