Miori Takimoto: Tsuma wa, Kunoichi drama episodes 3 & 4 screenshots and recap

 Been sitting on these screenshots for a while, don't know why it sometimes takes so long to finish what's been started, let's take a quickie look at episodes 3 & 4 of this drama, can do both recaps in one post as though it's been interesting to date not so much has happened though it does move along at a good pace.

 Ended off last time with Orie's(Miori) husband coming to Edo(Tokyo) to find out what happened to her, at the time of her leaving him he didn't realize that she was a secret ninja sent to complete a mission and their marriage was a front for her to remain secret. At the end of episode 2 Orie saved her husband from a band of hoodlums but he didn't know who it was that saved him as she was in disguise and we'll continue on from there. Orie's husband's name is Futaboshi, in his hometown of Hirado he was considered to be a bit of a strange character and didn't fit in well but in Edo it's the opposite as he gets a job as a teacher and also has helped the current lord of Edo with many small problems, this relationship is something that will be building up as he is on the hunt for Orie and will show no mercy on her when he finds her. Meanwhile Orie is continuing to work for her Shogunate master Kawamura, she declined one job when she may have gotten too close to her ex husband and now is on a secret assignment to spy in the lord Seizan. During this time Futaboshi has continued to search for Orie but keeps narrowly missing her, don't know how long this will be going on but hope for not the whole series, these kind of storylines tend to get tiresome.

 Said it was going to be a short recap for these two episodes and it was, bit more did happen which you can see from the screenshots but through 4 episodes this drama is setting itself up with many storylines, major one is Futaboshi looking for his wife Orie but there are so many smaller things developing but none of them yet has gotten off the ground that much. Slow paced yes but do find myself enjoying it, Miori's part is big but hoping it'll get even bigger and more important, still have 7(?) episodes to go so there are many things which are pending and really wishing these smaller plot lines will start coming together soon, have a feeling they will so hopefully for future reviews can just look at one episode at a time.
