Very good idea, very fast pacing for the first half but then it got in a loop, same situations, same feelings, same outcome. As for the ending (i ll write another comment below under spoiler tag)

He was never out of the business. He was just making movies

Can someone explain to me this very cruacial question that made me reject the whole project (i had other reasons too, technically speaking but ok) lets talk about the plot:
The night the police and in laws came to separate the lovers, is that thing legal? Im sure not.
Why the couple accepted that behavior and not start the procedures for divorce, but instead the signed the papers of that absurd and crazy "agreement"?
How and why Kitano went back to that psycho wife and was all lovey dovey at the end while moving out?
How was that justified? Plus in the followed movie, Kitano just signed a divorce together with his father in law so it wasnt THAT difficult to start with! Any ideas?

oh god yes! And for the skinshippers who are lured by the poster....there was no skinship at least not japanese style. Some cliche western choreographed "passion" scenes, totally emotionless and with the standard closeups to muscles, sweat and stuff. Waste of time.

The most ridiculous drama about affairs, that i ve ever watched. Main characters in last ep, look as if they were under lobotomy.
Literally vegetables. Their decisions dont make any logical sense.
Another precious lesson we learn is that in Japan, when you break into a house, physically hurt the owner, destroy things, you dont get punished and no one is going to report you. BUT, when you commit adultery, prosecutors, police officers, swat team, special forces plus both your in laws, come and violently take you away from the bed where you sleep with your partner and get you at home where you belong-like a furniture or something. (of course the above is not true in Japan, its just the writer lost her mind).
Last but not least: watch this, if you want to see "illegal" couples being extra boring, even more boring than the actual married combinations with ther wives/husbands.
The only logical and normal person in this series is the older daughter of Rikako. Her words are the only lines in that script that actually make sense.

Just finished it. By far the best BL ever.
There's hardly no romance, so if you you are into romance stories, skip this one. Its all about sensei-student relationship. Two great men putting aside their ego in small things, and focusing on their passion for architecture. Deeply devoted to one another, straightforwardly honest and respectful to each other, struggling for their place in the world of architecture. The girl is just the catalyst to their relationships-mostly at the beginning, nothing more. Kimutaku is very good portraying a rookie architect full of passion but Tamura literally shines in his character. Storywise, is not very interesting-actually tends to be boring at times- but the two men's relationship is very extraordinary, as the mentor and the student both are committed to each other building gradually a very strong bond while they re mirroring themselves to each other, representing one's past self and future self. Highly reccomend this but certainly not for the tagged genres.

Sorry to interrupt the holy innerpeace of priests and nuns here in the comment section, but up to now, (still on ep4), i see 2 great men coming from the same roots, having the same passion for their talent and a woman but still, the story looks very interesting as it depicts that love doesnt come necessarily in a set of 2-hetero-man&woman=forever pachage, but it can be shaped in many different kinds and forms. As for infidelity and such, there is no infidelity when all people involved, know whats going on. Its called consent and indeed its the most decent and mature condition all relationships should include.

I ve read the comment section first and as usual i stumbled upon the usual neo-puritanism which is very annoying. Thank god your review saved the day.
I was so tired by Chinese and Kdramas with all that fake bubbly beautified side of life (though its a great company for dinner) and in japanese dramaland i found my drama Eden.
The concept is very interesting though the whole aesthetics is not that dark for me-im into darker kind of stories these days. Still on ep3 and the only thing i dont like is the music and the bad quality im watching. Is there any place i can watch it if not hd but at least over 360?

hahahhhahha i thought so! His hair all along his carreer should considered as separate star and been paid accordingly!

If that's the ending i will surely watch it!

Yeap stop here...jisoo!! Dont forget to make a 3rd account to continue the conversation lol (if im counting correctly, this is your 2nd ha?) hahhhahaha

Its diffrent to become anything or having a lifestyle of your own because of your own choice and different when certain factors determine your decision by brainwashing you with fear, theories of dirt, of sin etc. I dont mind if you dont understand, you should do the same." Just like a racist, a hater and so on". You answered to my question at last. You re fine with all the above. Im not and i ll never be. And im proud of it so are the people like me. Again, good luck!

My point was very significant. I asked if you justify the same way, a racist, a hater, a sexist, someone who kills, castrates, condemns people because they are what they are. Your answer is clear. Well, i guess you justify anyone and anything with the "windows" theory. Good luck with that!

And lets pay our respects for that scene at his loft where she runs for the pot and he runs to hug her from behind. Those who ve watched the end can get the chills of the past that is repeated in such a hinted way

Try the Japanese original version (sadly its not anywhere in hd) but still, its deeper, darker and great performances solid acting and classes above the Korean remake. The only problem is that if you watch the Jversion you will probably laugh with the Korean. Of course the story is already spoiled for someone who has already watched either of them, but still the Japanese one will dig your heart gently and then smash it violently until the final redemption. Im still hooked

Have you watched Oedipus Tyrannos? Its not disgusting. Even between blood related people, can be erotic love, when they dont even remember each other, or not having a common past. Same blood has no certain scent to be recognized. Of course its dark and tragic but it can happen.

She shot herself straight to the heart. Death by shooting at heart is not always immediate. It takes some seconds of bleeding (shooting at head, esp at the low back, can cause immediate death). So she had the tim to lie beside him in that position

You may not read my ansewer cause your comment is so many years ago, but i just scroll down to read comments. His love to Yuko was not due to their blood relation. It was a purely lovers love. Though his inner self might have recognized her as someone loved in the past (of course not as a sibling) so thats why he was so opened to her since the beginning. But he did fell in love. Attraction works in mysterious ways but its core it purely natural and irresistable.

Yeap his character depiction looks more like a sociopath with fragmented personality-plus the childhood memory loss after the incident which played major role to his personality growth. His emptyness couldnt be filled with nun's who nurtured him at the orphanage love, neither with any woman's love, because to absorb love there must be some kind of a solid personality ground with no trauma or at least a trauva that is shows and is already procceeding to be healed. Poetically put by the writers, Yuko succeeded to make him absorb his love, his heart was available to her since day 1, and i thing it was because his innerself recognized her as someone loved from the past (though not as a sister of course). Now that i read it, its not that poetically put, but it could happen for real- i mean to recognize emotiionally someone you ve forgotten.

You put all my thoughts in such a beautiful order! I thank you too for the analysis!
