I agree 💯 with you about the last episode. It threw me! Why would they end it that way??
It felt like the beginning of another saga or something. I would have been good with him gently traveling with his companions till he dies or even going to be with Nihuang for a bit. Dying off-screen after heavily giving advice 🤷 to aid the war was just not it to me.

Finally finished and it is genuinely an intelligently written story. I have to ask, why does China not make more of this types of stories? And where are the men that look like this anymore? No shade to the admittedly fine guys they have now but rarely do I see them look so manly anymore or even a bit rugged.
I will probably write a review later because I have thoughts! But seriously, what was with that last episode??

Its slowly becoming one of the greats for me. I'm here having conversations with the characters like they can hear me! 😁
I'm in 16 now 😳

I've only watched the first 10eps and I have to say I'm truly loving this. Sometimes a hyped or highly rated show doesn't live up, due to very high expectations placed on it, but this is transcending my expectations and knocking it out the park.
I'm looking forward to new episodes and I feel like I'm on the edge of a non-stop drama binge 👀. I rarely ever do binges of that sort 😳.
What is this intricate plot and level of acting!?!

I really didn't know that about Thailand or this drama. Thanks for telling me about it.

Thanks 👍.
The uniform threw me off.

I just saw the first episode and I want to ask does the lead stay in high school throughout??

Glad you enjoyed both. I'll certainly give the live action a chance. Thanks!

I started it but then got into the anime which is so heartwarming and very pretty to look at and now I'm afraid to watch the live action and compare but I still might given a little time cos it looks homey and I like the storyline.

How about you? Did you enjoy it? Have you seen the anime?

Yes, I did find it! After a frustrating search, I had to type it into Google directly as 'the four brothers of the yuzuki family live action bilibili' and I got a hit though with indo subs but with more scrolling, I finally found it in English.

Thanks for asking.

Please put this as a spoiler.

It's really unfair for you to just say this because many haven't seen it and people like me haven't even started it and came to see how it was going.

Many people here are being considerate and avoiding leaving spoilers, please use the spoiler tag till the show is done airing at least 🙏

I really really dislike the trope of 'we were both knowingly intimate, fully understanding of the possible pros and cons of our choice but now that there is a baby, I'll be altruistic and save you any responsibility from it because... I'm a good person??'

It's illogical and except the father is a danger to the child, I don't subscribe to hiding the kid from him. If you want to have the child, Tell him.
If he takes responsibility then that's good, people have to take responsibility for their actions everyday so why shouldn't he?
And if he doesn't, nothing is lost, she still was raising the kid herself anyway so her choice just seemed selfish and ridiculous.

And who was even helped with her decision?? It's not like they had to get married and if he tried to force it and she really didn't want to then she could say no!
Being a single mum didn't kill her as we all saw. And the kid was always going to grow up and want to know their dad so you were setting him up for a lifetime of guilt and a missed chance no matter what especially knowing his personality.
And what would you tell the kid when she's grown and asks why she didn't have her dad, 'oh, he doesn't know anything about you because I didn't want to stress him with the responsibility of raising and loving you so here we are, aren't I great?'. It's far different from 'he knows and didn't want to be a part.' One painful but sensible, the other senseless and still painful.

I'm sorry for the rant but I just couldn't see the logic to Mizuki's thinking and it just kept irritating me.

On another note, I loved the kid actress Umi, she's amazing and I wish her the very best.

Hi. I haven't started yet but can I ask how the plot is different from the synopsis?

Maybe I'm not searching well but I can't find it on bilibili. All I see is the anime. Please do you have a link you can share.
Thanks.

Yea, that's why I asked. I know sometimes people rate low when the subs are bad but I don't really understand why because it's not an actual reflection of the story, just laziness from the subbing unit or no one has picked it up yet.
Are you watching it?

I wanted to check it out as it's short and I just wanted to know if the problem was the subs cos I can wait till there are better ones but if the story isn't good then that's another issue..
Good to hear it's going well

Is the rating this low because the story isn't great or because of the bad subs?

You know, this is exactly what goes through my mind whenever I see this argument flare up anywhere. What did Hamas think would happen when they planned that attack? What was the desired outcome? I know people say it stems from the decades of Israeli provocation (I personally believe they provoke each other equally but one is stronger and so hits harder) but what would that siege achieve in the long run or even the short run?
It couldn't have been Israel giving in to their demands because their history alone shows that it was nigh impossible so what in the world was it? Did they achieve it? Are they satisfied with what they achieved? And if they didn't achieve it, why prolong it? why not just release the hostages and spare your people.
Infact, what, if anything, have they truly achieved with all that?
If Israel had been like a barely leashed tiger what would the scent of blood do but trigger all-out carnage.
Another thing that floors me is that why would you start a fight with a much much stronger country that has an iron dome without having sufficient protection or something. Bombs scarcely land in Israel so if you both throw 30bombs at each other, maybe 2 of yours land in their country but all 30 of theirs land in yours. It's just illogical and completely detrimental to your people.
Hezbollah and Hamas keep launching bombs but it barely hits. Makes me wonder, if those bombs had hit, would people feel it were more fair.

I understand that but this season built him up from the very first case. Everything led back to this really powerful shadowy figure at the back of all the messy things that had gone on for years but then when we get to his case, so much of it was just lackluster and that trial in front of the people with the drama setup and the fighting officers and all of it was just unsatisfactory.

That end though 😬.

Not a bad drama at all but the treatment of the last case with the "big bad" could have been so much better. Brought the whole thing down for me in a disappointing way.

Hoping 2025 is a better drama year than 2024 🙏.
