I agree because film is a visual medium and the characters should be able to express their thoughts & feelings with the help of good acting, good music, and camera work and other techniques used by the director of the movie. We should not need to listen to those, literally spelled out for us. For me, that's both a failure - unfortunatelly, in hollywood they keep doing voiceover for inner thinking/summarizing/explaining while adapting "famous" books - and annoying. I will not be told what to think/feel the given scene! I have my own judgment, lol. Often the voiceover tries to cover what the actual scene is LACKING and I won't be manipulated like that. I allow myself to be manipulated in a good way, by good acting or music like I mentioned.

Okay I might wait till the beginning of next month, but from what I read on drama-otaku, they reject people trying to register, there. Reasons like, empty credential (what credential?), Insufficient activity, Insufficient post history, No Validation. I can tell beforehand it won't be easy to get in. If I am a private person, no social media or other accounts (just me and my email:), who does not post anything anywhere much (perhaps except on mydramalist:-) then I won't be allowed to download their precious subtitles. Despite me not being danger of breaking their Rules (not share anything found on their site), sites having rules like that usually ask way more personal info than I am comfortable with and then STILL won't register me. See, I can't just dowload stuff quietly for my personal use only. So, sites like that are not a solution, either.

8 episodes in... Very strange to be watching a crime drama in which you actually like the serial killer more than all the other people.

where exactly? Can you send me exact links? to put subs through google translate, I would need to actually download these. Which site allows that? I see only hardsubs everywhere.

So, am I supposed to watch only the couples that are gay? The straight ones did not make it? Am I supposed to watch those raw when I don't speak japanese?

Yeah but what does count is how they LOOK. I didn't like the feminine look of these guys (I did not return to this drama site on my own I already dropped this drama, still getting notifications on my comments though). That's all.

Okay thanks.

Well, I wish I could say that I really care about all that.
This is a drama and theoretically I am not required to do a research about the possible real origins before watching it. If some school cheer squad routines REALLY are so corny that they look unbeliavable in a drama, then they perhaps should pick something different, lol.
Either way... My interest dropped so low that I'm not doing any more episodes. DROPPED after epi 7.

I think they bring it from the mangas. It's like movie adaptations of books. Those tend to have voiceovers, too. Because most of books (especially those written from someone's POV) do have inner thoughts. Good SCREEN writer rises above that. Average writer, sadly, does not.

Okay, now I know what all these new short j-dramas lack.
They lack BUILD-UP.
And without it, we're not excited that the two people are getting intimate.

but it seems auto-generated and machine-translated.
You'll need to use your imagination.
Same with the plot.

Genres: Mystery, Romance, Drama

Yes, it's a mystery how is the wife supposed to retain her husband by spying on him taking photographs of him with other woman (helps her divorce maybe, not marriage), or sleeping with the other woman's husband (then she no longer is the innocent party).

The part about her subsequently falling in love with the other cheated-on spouse is unlikely as well. Yes, she lived sexless for a long time of course she will be satisfied, but else he is kind of cold fella... I trust she wanted to keep her warm personality husband, whose warmth was the reason she held on him for so long, even if it was sexless. She won't find good replacement with this stranger. I felt they were even more strangers after they slept together...

Yet, the plot seemes to be that the cold-blooded doctor starts liking Kaori and that her husband's lover/his wife gets pregnant. I agree they need to clarify whose baby is the biatch carrying. If it's not Kaori's husband's then she can forget the whole affair as insignificant fling it was. I don't think she should go for Kyosuke just because he discovered feelings in himself for the first time, she should keep her marriage. Kyosuke wanted to sleep with Kaori in order to find out whether he can feel. She did deliver in giving him the answer. But they had a deal he promised to help her save her marriage.

Instead, we have not one, but two secondary female characters clinically insane psychos. I say it always. It's hard to take romance seriously when you rather need police and shrinks involved LOL I wonder how old the writer was. What salary were they given. Oh: "Adapted From A Manga". Okay I wonder no more LOL

I attempted this drama several times. It focuses a lot on finances, one kind of people buy a cheap meadow then they're owners of buildings each worth billions (Won), other kind of people can work their butt off their whole life but won't be able to buy a place to live. ML is the first kind, FL is the second. Of course he is right he is rich she'll always be poor wasting her energy in poorly paid work. She is not compatible with him in looks, either. He would need someone more mature, a real woman, not someone girlie looking and doing many antics, like she's thinking she is still in some high school drama. He is not handling her with grace either, getting all haughty like he needs to prove something to someone who has nothing.
In short, all the things I mentioned... might have a reason but It's just not ENJOYABLE.

Korean males will have to change their funny hairstyles before I'll start taking them in any Thriller seriously.

For me, the sexual tension was gone the second we started hearing HIS thoughts. I'm sorry.

Well if you dropped after 15 mins, then considering 1st episode had 23 mins, you only missed 8 minutes, lol. And you know what I think? If we did NOT hear the incessant inner commentary, FL might not seem THAT dumb. What she actually DOES (except running from him on the street that one time) is not so terrible. She ends up in a hotel room with him, that looks spunky:-) But then in that hotel, we hear HIS inner thoughts, too. And THAT is scary. At one point she spots him half naked and he is thinking "Oh no, she saw me!" covering his face and then crossing his arms over his chest, hugging himself (looking very GAY like) right the second she turns away. I thought, WTF? That's not experienced 45 year old straight guy, LOL. Sometimes we get too much information, he he. That's not the sexy mysterious, anymore. They should kept at least HIM mentally silent. J-drama should really do WITHOUT the constant inner monologues of everyone.

1st episode: Eeh... Perhaps this should have stayed just with her POV.
When we hear also his inner thoughts in the end, he seems so gay it's a wonder what he is doing with a woman, LOL. Hearing his 13-year old inner girl is just not the same sexy mysterious anymore.
Episode 3... Bored after 10 minutes already. We watch 1st episode events yet again, this time from the beginning we hear HIS inner thoughts. I put this "drama" on hold..........
Okay, dropped after completing Episode 3. It's not like I have any moral problem with it or anything, but it quickly lost all sexual tension for me, and I just don't find it really engaging, when we have to listen to every single thought of the characters spelled out for us, or really funny (though I can tell it TRIES to be) and I DON'T CARE WHATERVER HAPPENS. So.

Dropped... Watched 3 epis out of 20, or 6 out of 40... Did not pique my interest in any way. A single mother moves into a tiny place full of annoying characters who are absolutely unable to mind their own bussiness... Perhaps I'd prefer to be killed by that serial killer to escape.

Is this another 'Watashi no Kaseifu Nagisa-san'?
That was nice human dramedy too, but the romance was non-existent.
Mr. Bride opens the story on more absurd basis and ATTEMPTS romance, but it gets interrupted each time, despite the two of them LIVING TOGETHER in one room. So, this wanted to be progressive? Yet it added something from the 80's sitcom.

Seeeriously, watching episode 7!
A girl delivers meal to a regular customer who turns out to be "famous actor" and first thing he does he takes her inside his room, goes away to bring her a towel, obviously not worried that she could snap some pictures for the tabloids lol. Then after talking to her for 1 minute he starts kissing her and she is not shy in return and they end up in a long makeout scene right on the floor LOL
Seriously, like, I am not complaining, but why don't we have such scenes with characters in dramas where scene like this would be a bomb :-D
