This article is just perfect. Good job! And I love Genki too, he's my favourite idol :)
I used to watch both korean and japanese dramas, but k-dramas had always the same plot, and the guys in it were always morons. The hallyu boom didn't help either, and I got tired years ago. So, since 2010 I only watch j-drama, and I never get tired of them because they are more diverse and short. I like some asadoras too. If you want to watch something more "elaborated" or longer please watch an asadora. I'm sure NHK producers spend a lot of money on them. And the result is good! Also you can learn a lot about japanese culture and history.
And about the first excuse "j actors aren't as good looking as koreans ones" well...I suppose they don't know about Saito Takumi or Fukushi Sota...
Aran has changed a lot, his previous role was a cool character too, I think he does it great even he hasn't acted in many dramas. In fact, I think his "Sakurai Haruka" is more credible than Yamapi's adult version of Haruka. That was my impression when I watched the movie.
Just another despicable, tramp, skank of a drama of betrayal. Sawa's the worst for cheating on her husband, just…
Calm down, dude...It's just a drama.And this drama don't have "good people" or "bad people". Everyone have their own failures and reasons. (well, I would consider Rikako's husband like "bad" but I'm not talking about this now)
I don't know what's your problem but I don't think this is the best place to take your frustration out. Also, you need to distinguish between fiction and fact. Most actors play murderers or thieves at least once. And it doesn't mean they actually would kill people or something.
Although I like Kasumi very much I must say that she's not the most appropriate actress to play Ninako. I think Morikawa Aoi's face is more suitable for it. However, Sota is the perfect Ren, I love him!
Moreover, I love Ando and I'd liked another actor to play his character in the film...But it's okay, I'm excited about this live action anyway.
Also, I like the fact that the main cast is like a Starman reunion :)
Lol I was sure everyone would hate the ending. I personally liked it. as much as I sympathize with Sawa and Rikako…
I think the same. I don't like Rikako's ending,but her circumstances are complicated. But Sawa doesn't have any children, the same as Kitano. They cheated and it was wrong and their first marriage was an error but they learned about that and found true love so...
