Probably was a bit extreme, I think my dander was already up from another (supposedly fluffy) drama. See below.

Pretty damn good, it occasionally drifts into the saccharine but on the whole is done very well with little condescension. Well worth a bash if you fancy something to make you feel good with a few tears, laughs and a bit of anger thrown in.

Skipped through a couple of episodes as I really wanted to see her last show but when he drags her round by the back of the shirt in episode eight that was more than enough for me. Utter abusive pathetic bastard shit! I'm so angry now.

Got to episode five only by gritting my teeth and skipping bits, waiting for the great romance to kick in. By the end of that episode if I could have climbed into the screen I'd have punched that awful bastard in the face (there were a few awful bastards on the list but he won).
The tipping point of 'I hate him so much that I cannot stand to see him get the girl no matter what he does from now' has been reached.
Extra horrible watching her being emotionally and physically abused whilst knowing she was beaten by her husband and committed suicide in real life.

Got bored by episode 4, nothing really new about it and too little time spent on Ayu and Yuki. Was waiting for the wild mum to be wild...didn't happen.

Episode 1 and I'd really like to slap the Dad, poor old Ayu and Yuki.

Totally with you on the Chemistry front, you need to be shipping them to watch this I guess.

Got to three and found I no longer liked him or respected her - dropped. Too adult for me maybe? Lacking chemistry? Morally too 'grey'?
Didn't find Saito's acting convincing either.
Loved Orange Days and was hoping this would be good.

Excellent stuff! Hiromi-chan made me cry on a few occasions, fortunately I was watching on my own so I can keep up the pretense of being a tough old boy...

I'm the same I start choking up when I read the synopsis.

Silly over the top humour ain't my bag if you are the same don't watch this.

I can't get past the 'problematic' parts of this show. Though the FL in this is great she isn't enough to keep me watching. Better than Meteor Garden (which I also dropped, rapey bastards a go go).

I started this and didn't manage the first episode it just seemed too much the same old thing.

I also have a pet hate for the smug "I'm so rich and handsome, I can treat women how I want" bastards and when I got to the flick on the forehead I just started skipping through the episode. I might go back to it but I doubt it.

I got a little too uncomfortable with this quite quickly. The acting was good and the story was going ok but...

I was quite surprised at this, it pulled me along and thoroughly entertained me. The ending, as with so many dramas; was a little bathetic but not enough to ruin things.

Wow! That's an absolutely gobsmacking drama, well worth the time. I feel emotionally drained.

greeting = crying in Northern England

Binged it and for all it's faults loved it, still greeting.

Found English subs for this on DC but the first episode is only the first ten minutes. DM has it with Spanish subs.

I dropped this in the end due to the intense significance of everything making it ultimately boring. The first couple of episodes were excellent though and the FL at least acted well. A missed opportunity really if they'd stuck to the ordinary everyday feel of the beginning it could have been great.
