[Cast Comments]■ Shinta Horii as Yuta Arisawa《Comment》A husband who suggests something impossible, and a wife who accepts it and tries her best.As I read on, I found myself accepting it and turning the pages, for some reason. Before I knew it, I was eager to know the fate of this family.He's set up as the wife's ex-boyfriend, but he's a bit introverted, not very assertive. Yet, he has a bit of pride as a man, a typical unrewarded person (lol).This work gets better the more you watch it. You'll be curious about what happens next every week.As the first guest in this work, I hope to deliver a performance that draws viewers in.■ Atsuyo Akune (ICEx) as Toshiya《Comment》It's not a simple cheating story,It's a love story that carefully depicts values, childcare, and the realities of married life, with some funny parts, and I found it to be a very captivating work.Toshiya is a straightforward and endearing character who tries to understand Hanae's loneliness and listens to her kindly.I am very happy to be able to participate in such a wonderful work, "My Husband Asked Me to Cheat."I will do my best to face Toshiya in my own way to make it even more exciting!
Please enjoy it! ■ Yurai Kubota as Sorimachi《Comment》Has the era of husbands asking their wives to cheat finally arrived?
There are various forms of marriage.Various tastes and preferences.It's an aggressive subject matter.My role embodies that.Please watch it with your spouse and enjoy.But please continue to get along after watching it.■ Shoma Nagumo as Akira《Comment》Nice to meet you.I'm Shoma Nagumo, playing Akira!
Akira might seem casual at first glance,but behind his words and actions, there are human struggles and a dedicated attitude towards his work, making him a very attractive and sensual person. As I read the script, it was a role that made me think deeply about the importance of people's inner selves, not just their outward appearance.This work depicts various standpoints and feelings, so I would be happy if you could enjoy it from each of your own perspectives.\Prepare with a relationship chart of Hanae & Hiroki before the first broadcast!
