I'm watching this without subtitles and I love it ...I mean only have a slight idea of what's going on, but I still love it. The characters are warm, they seem very natural and the atmosphere the drama creates is really engaging. It's quite different to the modern Japanese dramas I've watched, and really not at all in a bad way...all in all I'm at a loss with the dialogue but I'm hooked anyway. I'm also in love with the '60s fashion, big hair, and Dusty Springfieldesque eye looks *swooooon.*
