Mulheres de Milhões de Ienes (2017)

Grata sorpresa

Como todo drama japonés de Netflix llegue a el por la publicidad del inicio y no puedo estar mas agradecido con Netflix porque es es una joya de recomendación.
Como es un drama japonés y era evidente la etiqueta de "harem" empecé con cuidado a mirar porque no quería otra decepción por parte de este país. Lo vi en una sola noche y aquí debo admitir algo y es que cuando llegue a la mitad del drama aproximadamente estaba demasiado enganchado pero no podía encontrar que es lo que me enganchaba como tampoco podía expresar el sentimiento que me transmitía y tuve muchos momentos de ahogo y frustración al no saber que era lo que me estaba haciendo sentir lo que estaba viendo pero llegando al capitulo final, el mismo drama te explica porque se siente esa sensación de ahogo y cual es el sentimiento que no estas identificando en vos mismo y justamente eso me parece PERFECTO.
Que un drama sea capaz de hacer sentir algo que no pueda reconocer y ser capaz de explicarme como me siento sin dudas me parece digno de una obra maestra, podrán restar puntos si nos ponemos a valorar otras puntos pero personalmente esta obra se convirtió en uno de mis favoritos y se las recomiendo a todos.

A captivating story that pulls you in

Wasn't sure what to expect going into this after reading the summary, but was pleasantly surprised and captivated from start to finish.

The story tells of a novelist with a tragic past who is trying to be recognized as an author. Five women came to live with him for a million yen rent a month. Little did he know how these 5 women would change his life forever.

Acting was amazing, they really made you care about each and every one of the character. Each woman has their own backstory and personality as well as their motivation for being at the house(which I wish could've been more clearly explained). The show does what it can with the limited runtime it has to explore the past and present of these women. My favorite out of the 5 would definitely have to be Nanaka, the way she potrays a character that acts aloof and seems as if she doesn't have a care in the world, but deep inside she's trying to fill a void in her life.

The story also tries to explore about the values that each person holds to them and what makes them tick in life and also touches on some darker sides of society and how even people at the top of their game can find their life to be less than fulfilling. There's some definite plot holes and inconsistencies such as a weak motivations for some characters and the show could definitely do without the rival author however other than that to me the rest was perfect.

Overall, definite recommendation to watch and would probably rewatch it again sometime.

Much better than expected!!!

This had been on my list for what seemed like forever. I thought it seemed kinda interesting but also predictable, so I kept putting off watching it. I was completely wrong though!

This drama is full of the unexpected, but the twists and turns still 100% make sense and seem reasonable. I think we're all watched at least a couple of dramas with crazy twists that come out of nowhere and leave plot holes. Million Yen Women is not like that at all.

I really loved this drama. It's a wonderful thriller. The total runtime is under 6 hours, but nothing feels rushed. The pacing is literally perfect. Personally, I was hooked almost immediately. I'm not really the type to binge dramas without breaks, but that's pretty much what I did with this one. Each episode is 20ish minutes and ends with a cliffhanger. It's really easy to watch several episodes without even realizing you're been sitting there for hours. I don't watch Japanese dramas very much because I find them to be too fast paced a lot of times, but I thought this was fantastic.

The acting was good. I especially liked the facial expressions of several of the main actresses. The editing was good, as well. There are certain sound effects that are used in the second half of the drama that I loved, totally suit the vibe of the drama.

If you want a short thriller/mystery drama, this is perfect!

Interesting but hard to watch

This intrigued me when I read the plot description, 5 women received an invitation to live in the house of an unsuccessful novelist. He did not issue the invitation, he could not ask them questions and he could not go to their rooms. And each would pay him a monthly rent of a million yen.

I really wanted to know the reasons why the women agreed to do it and why the MC does not kill people in his novels. The MC at first glance is not handsome, he's awkward and has low self esteem. But as each episode passes and the mysteries about the women were unravelled, I can see that each seems to have feelings for the MC.

It was kind of hard to watch when we see the MC struggling because of guilt for something he did not do and for someone to actually play with that guilt.

Anyways, this drama gave me satisfying answers and he actually ended up with the girl I was rooting for. So all's well that ends well. But I would probably not rewatch this again since the mystery has been solved.

I have no clue if this was addressed in the manga, but the whole plot had a glaring flaw for me. How come Minami was not able to kill Yuki because she was "too powerful", while Midori was able to do it VERY easily, with no apparent consequences? Minami knew that Yuki was the killer, if she wanted she could just take a gun and shoot her in the house, there, problem solved. I don't understand why she had to die, it makes no sense at all. You could argue that Nanaka didn't do anything because she underestimated Yuki or whatever, but you cannot say the same for Minami. This was the biggest flaw I had with this show.
