SPOILER WARNING if you have not watched episode 5.
Warau Matryoshka has been about whether Suzuki was actually Seike's Hanussen. Whether he was really the brains and was Seiki just a puppet?
The story introduced us to Seike's girlfriend Arisa and I thought so this is a mystery about who the real Hanussen is.
Then we meet the mother played very well by Takaoka Saki and realised that this is not a story about who the real Hanussen is.
This is a story about 3 Hanussens fighting for control over the Matryoshka doll.
We finally get confirmation that the mom would do anything for Seike and Suzuki let himself be manipulated.
I think Arisa is still alive and the twist is she is the real Hanussen. On second thought, Seike has been going on about protecting the weak and minorities since he was a child. I wonder if that is his own thing or his mom's and does not seem like something from Arisa.
As mentioned before, the way Warau Matryoshka builds suspense reminds me of Yami no Bansosha. How good this show will be depends on what happens when everything is revealed. Very watchable.
Asami Mizukawa is a good actress. I recently watched Double Fantasy after seeing the images and reading the review on your blog, and this drama also looks interesting. Saki Takaoka is also great.
ReplyDeleteOf course she's older, but it's curious how Asami Mizukawa's face has changed over the last six years.
Thank you friend.
