Murder and infidelity are addressed with stylish flair in the new series, "Boku no Yabai Tsuma" ("My Dangerous Wife"; Fuji TV, Tues., 10 p.m.)
On the surface, Kohei (Hideaki Ito) and Maria (Yoshino Kimura) seem to have an ideal marriage. He gives her a kiss every morning as he leaves for work, but as soon as he's out of view he wipes his mouth, as if trying to get rid of a bad taste. Actually, Kohei wants to leave Maria, but she has just inherited a great deal of money. He has told his mistress, Anan (Saki Aibu), that he wants to kill his wife, but seems to have cold feet, so Anan pushes him along by giving him a vial of poison.
He plans to do the deed that night, but arrives home to find that Maria has been kidnapped.
