GOLD (2010)

Life is about taking yourself to the next level. More than motivacional, GOLD is charming and has its own way to send its message. Characters are dense and well build. The major point, for me, it's the pressure and the expectations which not only the characters - and also us - need to handle. Yuri cares about those precious kids, accepting their burden instead of blaming others. There's so much more than her stricness. There's also love and strong bonds in the family.

The point of this drama is to show people how important is to persevere. We can't say that's an easy journey to victory. Victory only has meaning and keeps you along the road when you work hard for it. There's a lot of stuff in the way. GOLD says a lot about how we can enter the road and deal with the surprises that can appear. Yuri did well teaching her kids, Rika-chan (^o^) and also teaching me how important it is to have a strong and unwavering heart.

Sorry for my bad english, guys. I just needed to tell how I felt about them.

This drama is based on mastering sports, yet the most focus has fallen on the family ties and connections between people and their past history. I liked this one a lot because it has a gradual yet interesting build-up through the show - nothing felt left out but it did not bore me even once. The cast is excellent and the characters show a wide variety of characteristics. It is possible that therefore some of these characters are not to everyone's taste but this makes the show more real as it introduces clashing personalities from different ages and backgrounds. As these clashes/problems are dealt with lots of surprises come out. This drama has a very interesting plot to gradually explore.

If you like daily life excitement and great emotions I don't think this show will disappoint you. It did not for me!
