when her stupid thoughtless action is the cause of him being this way…

why is strong = masculine?
Being weak is being childish and not facing our own responsibilities. It’s expecting others to pick up after us when wess up. It’s just not logical that she’s a CEO of a company yet so incapable of doing anything not even think of solutions. Even the event that led to getting her power is so dumb lol and her dad had to pay the ultimate price.

And both male leads having to put up with her indecisiveness. That has nothing to do with being feminine or masculine, and everything to do with being a child vs an adult.

The bigger joke is how seriously he takes it 🤪

LOL so if anyone is submissive in this drama it would be the ML. She’s just weak and keeps running away from her problems

i think you’re over analysing from the comments 😂

My issue with her character was that she was treating her husband badly in general so I don’t disagree with you, just that I find the way the character of the Ex was used was well done.
I think she does end up remembering but I’m not sure

So the ex thing was annoying only because her brother was conspiring and putting them all in awkward situation. There were instances her actions made the ML uncomfortable but it was minimal because both her and the ex had moved on from each other, but the ex was more like a friend she needed to talk to from a time she understood herself better.

I mean people don’t retire until they’re in their 60s so there’s nothing wrong to keep teaching in their 50s. And there’s nothing wrong with aging a character and imagining how they would be. Aging is a part of life anyways.

more like for a sequel

It’s at the same level of the first season though I don’t have much sympathy to the “client” here. Like why wait until things are this bad to get help? His reasoning wasn’t logical.

I could actually say the same with a lot of characters here, especially the main antagonist. His hate so far is so misplaced and overdone. Also his assistant or wtv, like he didn’t actually do her much of a favour for her to stick by him so much. And the new competition who’s being introduced the next season, like why was he in the state he’s in here?

Still looking forward for the 2nd season :)

Predictable and stereotypically bland characters, acting didn't impress in any way, yet... Why did I enjoy it so much? I looked so much forward to watching an episode every day.

Somehow Yamapi's lack of talent worked pretty well here, and I looked forward to seeing what he would be blurbing every episode. The possibility of romance was a bit cute midway but it got too creepy by the last third of the drama so I'm glad how it went in the end. It's interesting to learn about real estate in Japan. In some ways, it's so different from the West, but real estate agents are all the same. I know a few, and those that are honest don't make as much.

My kind of drama! Now I'm interested :D

I only started this cuz I thought it was 5 episodes long and I like Nakagawa Taishi but now I realized it’s 10 episodes but 5 haven’t been released yet 😒
I’ll probably finish to see how it goes but the story definitely isn’t worth 10 hours of my time. I love the actress playing the female lead but her character is a complete idiot who’s only beaten in idiocy by the male lead’s teacher.

Yes I loved his performance! And Tiffany Hsu’s character when she hits a certain point of growth really becomes his contrast. I enjoyed both their growth throughout the drama

i wouldn’t say stereotypical. In some ways it is, in others it’s the most nuance I’ve seen in a long time. I think he’s also been given a personality beyond the ASD aspect and far from the “savant syndrome” stereotype. He’s also living an independent life.

It has an overall strong going from the beginning, solid cases and a believable way of connecting the dots. Most importantly how the characters are built up and how we explore the layers upon layers. The line between what is right and what is wrong is blurred.

While, in my view, the characters kept their consistency to the end, the story and pace unfortunately did not. It didn't affect the actions that led to the ending but the process was painful. It was endless monologues that completely changed the tone of the story. that applies mainly to the last episode and a bit before the last.

I particularly find it weird that the main detective just suddenly switched in the last episode he switched to being all friendly without ever any type of build.

Just glad I’m done cuz it was overall annoying to watch. It had some good points but overshadowed by the annoying students. The only student I liked is the ex yakuza, and the one with daddy issues became sorta tolerable later on. That bully girl that put herself as leader argh I think she ruined it for me the most.

I love the theme song though!

yes same!

While the previous season was about giving birth in all its miracles and difficulties, this season shifts the focus on what is next. How will the parents deal with the child? How will the doctors in those fields grow?
The season started and ended at a high but kinda lagged in the middle. I think it’s because, in my view, the characters themselves aren’t that interesting. Where the drama differs and where it succeeds is with the individual cases, with the mothers, with the fathers lost in this areas, and with the babies.

The drama has some biases, but still approach it with care and consideration. Like the issue of Down syndrome, as mentioned, there is will be regrets, especially for the mom whether they decide to have the baby or not. I also appreciate how they keep reminding fathers the importance of their role as support for the mom and as parents themselves.

I think this drama touched me mostly because the journey to giving birth is rarely dramatized yet so close to reality.

I highly recommend this drama to everyone to watch, especially to mommies.

I’m not sure how to rate this one. I enjoyed it, it was engaging thanks to the performance of the cast, especially the leads. Ayase Haruka was as expected but I always underestimate Kimura Takuya but at this point I think I need to admit to myself that he really grew as an actor over time. He wasn’t bad before but it always felt like I see his ego all over the characters he played but it has immensely decreased overtime. He was always good at creating chemistry with his costars.

I do find some of the casting questionable, like that of Akechi Mitsuhide. I wish I had seen more dimensions to Ito Hideaki and Nakatani Miki’s characters. They are very capable actors, in my opinion even more than the leads.

Story-wise it was hard to follow, even for me who already went through the Sengoku period multiple times from various perspectives. On one hand it was too focused on the leads, on the other it wasn’t focused enough neither on their relationship nor on what was happening at the time.

Anyways, I recommend it. Just read a bit of history ahead.
