Fuufu no Himitsu is a Japanese drama about a married couple who are involved in a murder. The drama begins with the scene of a body being buried, but it is not clear who is being buried or who is doing the burying. The story then unfolds as we learn more about the couple and the events that led to the murder.

When I first heard about this drama, I thought it would be a typical adult romance drama with a lot of cheating, just like many Korean dramas. I forgot for a moment that this is a Japanese drama, which is very likely to have different colors~♪

I only started watching this drama after the teaser for episode 8 was released and I saw Toyoda Yudai's character crying hysterically on the beach. At that time, I thought "This kid is a good crier". Drawn in by his performance, I decided to give the drama a try.

It turns out that the first scene in the drama was a scene of burying a corpse, and at that time it was not shown who was burying it and who died. I WAS SO CURIOUS and ended up marathoning episodes 1-8.

You know what, I watched it with the expectation that Toyoda's character would be sad. He was sad, but he was the one who was creepy from the first smile, even though it turns out that other characters were more hair-raising.

There was no cheating in this drama. Instead, there was a MURDER. There was one female character who was the couple's employee in the flower shop, played by Momotsuki, that went on a date with the barista. They went to a hotel, booked a room, and the female character was choked. We wasn't shown how she ended up, but the next day, the main character (she was a florist) told the barista that her employee resigned.

Back to the very first scene, the burying corpse scene. Little by little, we are told who was involved in the burial process. Then I had to wait patiently for the identity of the body they buried to be revealed. It's a devastating loss 💔

Speaking of the cast, this drama included two seniors with good track records, Usuda Asami and Gouriki Ayame. The rest are all newcomers. But I'm truly impressed by them, able to perform at the same level as their more experienced co-stars. They achieved an excellent level of creepiness, right when it's needed.

I believe if you want a light story, Fuufu no Himitsu won't be the best choice. But if you are more into deep dark suspense story, this one is worth to try.
