Set 3 years after the drama series. Kitano Yuichiro comes to give a lecture in the town where divorcee Sasamoto Sawa now lives quietly. The two meet again and their love story continues.

Set in Nagoya Station, it depicts the encounters of young people who work late at night and what happens after that.

It seems ML is married happily but he have secret affairs behind their love ones. Many famous actor & actress stars in this drama. If you like secret love affairs genre I recommend to watch both of them.

Hirugao is the more serious, somber show about affairs, and Fukigen na Kajitsu has more romanticized affairs with a lot of intimate scenes. Both have lonely wives with disinterested husbands, as well as awkward mother-in-law relationships where the mother-in-law is too involved and doting. Both involve wives contemplating/weighing the value of an affair before it starts, but Hirugao focuses more on those affected and morals.

recommendation for obvious reasons, I mean, the movie is a sequel to the series! lol

- basically continues the story between Sawa and Kitano

I watched some secret love affairs drama & I watched this drama, I like it. The story is simple, FL having an affairs & still continue having an affairs even her husband & her partner wife knew about their affairs. This drama stars many famous actor & actress. If you like love affairs genre, this one is my recommendation.

Gosh this secret love affairs drama is interesting to watch beside good looking ML & FL. This drama plot is not too heavy & easy to catch up. Not too many conflict. If you like a short & quick drama I recommend this.

The basic plotline (affair) is obviously similar. But also the complexity of the relationships. Both are drams that are darker, more intense romances that really challenge views and make them think about love and life.

Both deal with a female protagonist's journey of self-discovery through an extramarital affair and its consequences.

When Shiho Nishina got worried about her sex life with her husband, her husband proposed to her, "Why don't we go to a couple exchange party?" At first Shiho strongly turned down the idea, but eventually, she gave in because her husband was very persuasive. "We're just going to observe, okay?" Shiho said as she reluctantly agreed to it. Meanwhile, a former diplomat Mr. Kubozuka ran a couple exchange club, "Aquarium," with his wife in their house. At first, Shiho was being very cautious, but gradually, she got attracted to Mr. and Mrs. Kubozuka's charm and finally agreed to exchange couples with them. It seemed that their sex problem had disappeard and they had found happiness, but as it turned out, that was just the beginning of their nightmare...

A bit similar love affair story with different story line in Hirugao both of the leads having an affair. In Kingyo Tsuma only the FL & FL husband plus other housewives who live in the same apartment complex having an affairIf you like love affairs genre this drama is a must watch. Iwata Takanori is adorable.
