The Wife He Underestimated
About this drama
The source for this entry is a logline of one hundred ten characters in two sentences, a thin source with no ending stated. The whole of it reads: he married a quiet little wife to keep his family's seat warm; now the quiet little wife is buying the family. The frame is one marriage entered for warmth of a seat, one wife read by the family as quiet and little, and one reversal begun in the present tense, the buying underway as the line ends, so what she buys first, why the seat needed warming, and what the family does when the purchase lands are all unprinted. The grammar is a mirror in halves, quiet little wife printed twice and the second time attached to a verb of acquisition, and the mirror is the joke and the threat at once, recorded as printed. No ending is stated. Three catalog facts frame the entry. The run is fifty episodes, one of seven entries at the modal length. The registry column lists 6 against the API's fifty, part of this batch's systematic split between free counts and full counts, disclosed with the API figure used here. The counter reads 713 views, eighth of twenty, in the upper half. The byline is shape of desire x drama, the third of its eleven entries, and the platform marks the series completed.
