Como peces dorados

This short series is based on a manga and tells the stories of a group of ladies living at the top of a high rise who all enter into affairs. It has a main story running through of a successful businesswoman and a goldfish seller and these two appear in a thread throughout the series. Over the eight episodes it also looks at five other women who enter into extra marital relationships and their reasons behind that decision. It is quite an erotic series and it may overdo the titillating sex scenes but it does not judge the women and leaves you to decide if the ladies actions are justified.

I really enjoyed this series... until the last episode.

The series revolves around the relationships of some couples living in a high rise condo, focusing mainly on a single wife per episode.

Most of the episodes offer poignant, if sometime predictable, stories. The biggest problem I had with the individual episodes was that the writers failed to "wrap things up" before moving on to the next one.

Interwoven through all this is the story of Sakura, who is in an abusive marriage and trying to find happiness away from her husband. Unfortunately, the writers lead you on, and then gut punch you in the final episode with one of the worst endings I've ever watched. Disappointing hardly covers it.

It seems to be a trend in recent series that writers want to give you the worst ending possible.

Adaptasi manga populer berjudul sama karya Ryo Kurosawa ini sukses menempatkan 'ikan mas' dan 'akuarium' sebagai analogi dari kisah enam wanita yang tengah berjuang dalam hubungan cinta/rumah tangganya masing-masing, terlepas dari problema yang berbeda-beda.

Semua terangkum dalam 8 episode berdurasi tergolong singkat dengan bingkai Haruto-Sakura-Takuya yang jelas menjadi sorotan utama. Minusnya, Michiko Namiki & Hiroaki Matsuyama seperti terbentur oleh keterbatasan saat mengeksplorasi tiap karakter sekaligus mendalami tiap subplotnya.

Mini series Jepang ini lebih mengedepankan emansipasi wanita walau di satu sisi agak terkesan melegitimasi perselingkuhan, see those sex scenes with purposes. Namun rekonsiliasi atau perpisahan akan selalu jadi perdebatan dilematis dengan segala konsekuensi sikap dan pilihannya.

Karakter dan plot terfavorit: Sakura Yuriha Noriko Hisako Saya Yuka

Terlepas dari open ending yang cukup mengganggu terlebih bagi pasangan utama yang sudah begitu apik membangun karakternya, antologi pahit manisnya pernikahan ini hadirkan insights menarik yang sifatnya universal.

For all men of culture out there, this series delivers what all av directors strived to but failed.... ur darkest innermost fantasies brought to the screen in 8 high production values episodes, you are well cum.

I enjoyed first part of this series . It's good and enjoyable but i don't know what's wrong with the story at the end. Slightly disappointed tbh. I was rooting ao hard for Them and the story progressed like that but ending is so much disappointing.

The writing tricks u to think now they will be fine but even in the last ten seconds of series nothing will be fine and it will throw u with not even a well cliffhanger.
