The Secret
“A shocking work that depicts the extreme love-hate between a man and a woman with a strong touch of suspense on the theme of marriage.”
Chikako Kaku and Shiro Sano of "I've Always Liked You" (1992) co-star again in a shocking film that depicts the extreme love-hate between a man and a woman with a strong touch of suspense on the theme of marriage. Mario's eccentricities played by Sano attracted even more attention, with the highest viewership of 33.7%. The main character, Kanako (Chikako Kaku), marries her beloved and starts a happy life. Next to it, his former lover, Mario, who abandoned himself, moves in and says that he wants to try again ... The strange love and relationships that begin here, and the "terrifying reverse tama man" Mario extends the devil's hand not only to Kanako but also to her husband. However, Mario was also unaware of his wife's gaze that burned with jealousy of him ... The secret hidden in a love marriage that "cannot be told to anyone" is gradually revealed. The theme song was written by Yumi Matsutoya for the first time in 17 years and became a big hit "A Midsummer Night's Dream".
