Fuji TV

Michi Yoshino (Nao) is 32 years old. She works in the sales department of a construction company. Her life is comfortable and trouble-free. But there is just one problem: her husband. She married the shy and reticent Yoichi Yoshino (Eita Nagayama) five years ago. He works as a manager at a struggling cafe and loves her very much. But he doesn’t want to have sex with her. And whenever she tries to instigate intimacy, he shies away from the situation. Two years have passed since they had sex, and she feels somewhat neglected and frustrated by the situation.

One evening, when she was supposed to meet her husband, she finds herself drinking a can of beer alone outside. And she happens to meet her company’s boss, Makoto Niina (Iwata Takanori), who is also outside at this time. Makoto Niina is everything her husband is not: He is outgoing, popular, and successful. He is married to Kaede Niina (Minami Tanaka), a senior editor at a fashion magazine. But like Michi Yoshino, Makoto Niina is not satisfied with his marriage: Kaede Niina is always “too busy” to be intimate with him. As Michi Yoshino and Makoto Niina chat, they learn one another’s marriage secrets. Could this lead them to a dangerous encounter that could threaten both of their marriages?

This drama was based on a manga series by Haru Haruno that was first published in 2017.

“Even If You Don’t Do It” is a 2023 Japanese drama series that was directed by Hiroshi Nishitani.

Even if You Don’t Do It

The Forbidden Couple

Despite being a married man, Otomo Kyoichi (Ohkura Tadayoshi) has no qualms about cheating on his wife. In fact, he’s had a number of affairs over the years and is currently keeping a mistress. Sick of her husband’s infidelity, Kyoichi’s wife hires Imagase Wataru (Ryo Narita), a private detective, to catch her cheating husband in the act. Little does she know, Wataru and Kyoichi are old university friends.&nbsp;

Skilled at what he does, it doesn’t take Wataru long to catch up with his old friend. Presenting Kyoichi with an impressive amount of incriminating evidence, Wataru strikes a bargain. He’ll keep Kyoichi’s affair a secret in exchange for a kiss. Reluctantly, Kyoichi agrees to Wataru’s request, leading them to share a kiss that’s anything but innocent. Soon after, Wataru catches Kyoichi in a moment of infidelity once again. Threatening to tell Kyoichi’s wife the truth, Kyoichi bribes his friend with another steamy makeout session.

Fed up with Kyoichi’s cheating, his wife eventually divorces him, leaving Kyoichi free to spend as much time with Wataru as he likes. As the two draw closer, powerful emotions begin to take over but not all of them are positive. Can a chronic cheater and the man who’s had a crush on him for nearly a decade find a way to live happily ever after?&nbsp;

Adapted from the manga of the same name by Setona Mizushiro, “The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese” is a 2020 Japanese romance film directed by Yukisada Isao.
