Every Precious Moment

A miserable, broke piano teacher who can no longer afford to teach meets an attractive boy running a food stall, who notices her sadness and is kind. They have some shy adventures in pretty places which make her feel better, and then, he forgets who she is, because AMNESIA. But it's not the usual amnesia trope: he's been like this for a long time, in fact, he's forgotten his own mother. There's a parallel, with a young girl who also lost her memory after a suicide attempt; there's Piano Girl's cousin the doctor, who treats both patients; there are their two, very different mothers and Amnesia Boy's neighbour, a girl who's always cared for him.

It's a quiet family drama, so if you want a passionate romance, look elsewhere: it's probably going to be too quiet for viewers who saw Hagiwara in 美しい彼. But the people, the scenery and the music were pleasant, the plot's fairly okay and the actors, imo, did a good job: I especially liked the final scene, carefully carried off by the main duo with no dialogue.

Only The Music Is Good But Story is…

Hi, when I watch this drama, my expectation is high. The first 2-3 episodes are good with nice portrayals, but as the story progresses, it becomes boring. I would prefer 20-25 minutes per episode. Regarding the cast, I appreciate it because it’s perfect; everyone is a well-known actor. The supporting actors in this drama have previously worked as main leads in other serials, which fascinates me. However, they need to work on a better storyline and ending. The music is perfect, especially during mood changes or dramatic scenes. I also like the OST; it adds to the overall experience.
Thanks..

Love is Patient, Love does not eek its own way

I gave this drama a 10 because it showed tge true meaning of what love is all about - committing one’s self to another person and working through problems together; it protects each other from harm and does not run away. It does not seek individual desires outside of that bond, and doesn’t keep score to prove who has done more.

People complained about the last scene calling it weird. There was nothing weird about it.

He came downstairs and looked at the photos, then watched the video of her playing the piano because he was reminding himself. It was his way of keeping the amnesia under control and clinging to what he saw in the photos and hearing the song she wrote when they first met.

Music is pieerful and can reach places that words cannot. It can dig down past the clutter of confusion and panic and calm the heart and mind.

He may have sensed a reset coming at that time, based on his darting eye movements, but those photos, the music, his child and his wife steadied him and brought him back.

The greatest redemption was brought about by love, and when we make life and marriage all about romantic feelings, we miss out on the reward that faithfulness in all situations brings.

It is a beautiful love story.
