Hapimari: Happy Marriage!? Episode 8 Recap

I’m glad that this episode showcased more of our OTP’s married life. At least, the focus shifted back to romance, away from the exhausting corporate dramas and family feuds. Phew! It’s a breather if you ask me.

Anyways, there’s a major turning point in the end. It’s a little tragic, but I consider it a welcome development, plot-wise.

Gewd! Chiwa’s Dad is so argh! If he ain’t bald, I’ll really pull all his hair out. He’s literally driving me nuts!

Now, that Chiwa and Hokuto finally  had an understanding of their relationship, I believe we will be seeing more angst and problems ahead. Tehehe!

Hapimari: Happy Marriage!? Episode 3 Recap

I still love where the show is taking us. New characters are slowly being introduced. If there’s one thing I want to highlight is how the live action Hokuto easily gives out compliments compared to his drawn counterpart. He sure knows when to appreciate Chiwa’s hard work which is seldom in the manga.

Hapimari: Happy Marriage!? Episode 2 Recap

This episode is freakin awesome! I love how they put twists in some scenes, making it somewhat new but still holds on to the core plot. As expected, Dean’s character stands out. The chemistry kicks in and romance definitely sparks.

PS: Dean’s lopsided smile near the end of the episode makes my heart swoon like a teenager. Eeeet!

Hapimari: Happy Marriage!? Episode 1 Recap

As promised, here’s the first recap for ‘Hapimari: Happy Marriage!?’ live-action adaptation. The first episode lays down the basic premise: a man and a woman, who are on the opposite ends of the socio-economic ladder, meets in the most unconventional way. Destiny and circumstances force them to get married and eventually fall in love for real.

Though some details were changed, I believe the drama delivered quite well for its pilot episode. Considering that the plot and characters are already “TOO” familiar for most audiences, the challenge now, is how to keep the dynamics afresh.
