La Vie en rond

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.

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 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.

The series focuses on 6 wives, with the major focus on Sakura i.e our main character for the series. They are all caught up in their own marriage related problems and seek other people to fulfil their desires or deal with their problems. It was honestly a refreshing take, since it was up to the viewer to decide whether the actions of the wife in focus was justified or not. Honestly i really enjoyed the aesthetic of the series and the multiple storylines were sown together well. However, some of the characters extremely pissed me off- Sakura's husband and the wife who stopped running. They made the show slightly intolerable but the other characters made it bearable. THe ending was also left very open ended which could be a bad or good thing based on the viewer discretion. Personally loved how it ended. Definitely a worthwhile show.

If this is your 1st drama. Then you will probably like this more than most people. In which case, I would recommend to watch the kdrama movie called-High Society 2018 (Sanglyusahoe) on Netflix.

Other than that, Fishbowl Wives is average at best. But at its' worst, it is like a 4.5 stars-that keeps dragging on and on.

Reason why I say this, it relies heavily on the softcore sex scenes. In order to cover up the weaker elements of the script. Kdramas on the other hand, have less scenes like these, but manage to be more entertaining.

However I will admit the softcore sex scenes were well done, enjoyable, and I hope more dramas put them in. Without sacrificing the storyline, dialogue, and character development.
