The story starts off with Mio and Motoharu as a married couple but instead of a happy picture of a family, we were presented with relationship that's about to fall apart. That was the sole reason why our protagonist, Motoharu, decided to take a chance with the coin given to him by an unknown old man who talked of time travelling. Of course, he had found it unbelievable at first, too. After a series of events where we can see his choices reflect changes on his life upon his time travel... the question hangs in the air, is it really enough to change his life by avoiding some things knowing the outcome? Or in the end, are we played upon by fate?

Shitteru Wife is a drama that could get really cheesy to a typical melodrama with a touch of fantasy. But what will keep you watching is probably the thought of wanting to see how our protagonist try to change his fate, for better or for worse? I think there were frustrating moments in the drama but overall, I do think It was a good and enjoyable watch. The drama has the essense and soul of a typical Japanese human drama, it will get you attached to its character and their relationship, and get a universal message when it comes to "relationship" once you reach the very end.

Acting-wise, I think Hirose Alice did a great job and I mainly watched for her but stayed anyway. The background theme or OST is very fitting.

Overall , a good watch. I found the ending satisfying despite the cheesy touch and I am not familiar with the original but I am sure it is worth trying to see the charm of this version as well.
