Amidst the anime wave hitting the market, the emergence of a romantic film that captivates the audience certainly does not go unnoticed, especially when it achieves remarkable box office success in just one week. My Happy Marriage (Cuộc Hôn Nhân Hạnh Phúc Của Tôi) has enchanted viewers with its story of a royal love – the poignant journey of Miyo, a girl from a cherry blossom village.
In the film, the main character Miyo compels viewers to admire her pure beauty, gentle personality, and kind-hearted nature. She is often likened to “the beautiful girl of Japan” when she unexpectedly falls in love with the male lead, Kiyoka. Throughout the film, Miyo’s unique charm has won Kiyoka’s heart, creating a beautiful love story that has captivated audiences, especially in Asia, at the beginning of this year.
While she embodies the ideal “first love” look, Miyo, played by Imada Mio, stands out as she makes the audience feel “overwhelmed” by her incredible talent.
Born in 1997, Imada Mio began her career as a model and quickly gained recognition as a “goddess of the screen” known for her captivating style. Transitioning to acting in 2015, Mio soon “made waves” with her striking visuals, taking on supporting roles but quickly becoming a mainstay. Her breakthrough role was in Vườn Sao Băng 2018, where she played the character “Maya Airi” and became a household name. Mio has since continued to make her mark on various beauty rankings, reaching the top 5 most influential actresses on Oricon.
However, news of Imada Mio’s rapid rise to fame has sparked a competitive tension in her relationship with her manager, Mr. Mizuno. Their romance – a “hot” one, with Mizuno and Mio’s mutual affection developing, has drawn attention as the 90s starlet rises in her career. It is said that while Mizuno has a child, he maintains a close relationship with Mio, which has raised eyebrows amid the public.
Both have publicly acknowledged their relationship as they work in the same company, with the film crew being well aware. One staff member noted that while Mio was filming romantic scenes, Mizuno drove to the set, appearing deeply focused, which was quite distracting during filming. They both seemed to disregard the seriousness of the situation, enjoying their time together.
When Mizuno proposed to Miyo, she was only 16 years old. Despite facing significant scandals in her career, Imada Mio’s name has remained unaffected. On the contrary, her star power has only grown, from Vườn Sao Băng to the live-action adaptation of Tokyo Revengers, and now with the blockbuster My Happy Marriage. It is rare to see a 90s starlet like Mio thrive and succeed in this competitive industry.
