Perfect.

Well ... what a strange love story. Very interesting. Very intriguing.

Part of the opening track is sung by fascinating traditional singer Sato Anna (里アンナ), who also plays the role of Satochiyo Kane in this drama. Too bad that she has no profile here yet, but I'm considering to create one ...

This was unexpectedly entertaining.

I guess most of the actors were young and needed the money ... –_–

This is NHK's 2025 Taiga Dorama. Sounds promising. With some interesting actors.

The Netflix subtitles for this show are trash, at least the German ones. For instance, they constantly translate the year Showa 61 as 1968 instead of 1986. And many translations for on-screen texts are missing. Fansubbers Wabi-Sabi Subs and earthcolors are doing a much, much better job than Netflix.

Fascinating.

Wow! What a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Great drama!

Sounds great! 😄

So it begins ...

Yay – Takei Emi is back on the track! ❤️

Wow, what a great penultimate episode! Now my expectations for the last episode are sooo high...

IRL Hirose Alice just turned 29 two days ago. Michieda Shunsuke is 21.

Thank you for this great list!

Please spew your hatred somewhere else. Thank you.

You know, I'm an old bloke and I have to be careful every now and then with all my little prejudices that have developed over time, for example towards young actors like Michieda Shunsuke. It's so easy to underestimate them, which is totally unfair, I know. In these moments, it's good for me to remember a line from Taylor Swift's song 'Cardigan': "When you are young, they assume you know nothing ."
And I don't want to be "they."

Yes, I agree, this series is a little gem. It’s getting better and better with each episode. And I sincerely apologize to all of Michieda Shunsuke's fans I may have offended the other day. He is doing a very good job and I really appreciate his (and all the others’) acting. Before the show started I was skeptical about whether the chemistry between Hirose Alice and him would work due to their age gap, but that’s exactly what this drama is about: the lives Sayako and Taku have lead already, their different experiences and how differently they deal with challenges and situations in relation to their age. That’s what makes this drama so interesting. And while Sayako, given her age, is not always as mature as we assume, Taku is not that innocent newbie you might think either. I think this drama has some surprises in store in the next episodes...

lol

Now this is funny. How old are you? Twelve?
