Honestly it has been so long that I don't remember haha but keep watching I'm sure you won't regret ;)

Far from perfect but with high entertainment value. It's a complete package, with its direction, lighting, and music. It's well casted with lovable characters. It's the type of drama that is relaxing to watch, hence I can keep on watching forever! The story itself is over but a second season (with a different title since it wouldn't apply anymore) would be fun.

Actually, the title of the drama is very fitting, the keyword to it is LAST.

The exposition of food here should be a crime the way they make you crave it!

Lastly, Ikuta Toma's smile gives me joy

So what got me into Mamiya Shotaro was the drama "Mr. Nietzsche in the Convenience Store" the drama has a unique sense of humour, but he's really genius there!

So I'm 2 episodes in and, despite enjoying everything else, I cannot imagine what she can do to make up for it. If only she wasn't such a hypocrite, criticizing bullies yet goes ahead to sell off her friend to bullies. She hasn't shown remorse either.

I find Tsuyoshi's alter ego basically expresses his honest opinion of her.

I just finished the episode so I'm just too angry at her haha

Found this one by accident while looking for the other first love movie and got curious XD well when you name your movies such generic names it happens. For the record I think both would benefit a more fitting name.

The cast was interesting, but I didn’t particularly enjoy it. I guess I’m just in the mood for light stuff not requiring any energy to watch.
The direction made it entertaining (unsurprising of Miike movies. The story itself is very generic and predictable

A light story about imperfect people living in an imperfect world who expect them to be perfect.
The drama itself follows the usual j-dorama pattern, nothing new about it. And outside our main leads, the other characters offer nothing new here. But what brought the drama up a notch for me are the leads.

Their characters are soooo relatable, especially Haneo. From the moment he shows up with his genius lawyer act, to his social media life, to his insecurities. Then there's Ishiko a perfectionist who, up to finishing school, thought she had figured out life only to stumble yet still puts up with the act of knowing all. They were the perfect foil for each other, the best at bringing out the best and worst in each other. I found their chemistry was more of a sibling rivalry. Like I'd die for you unless I kill you first XD.

Also, Oba just doesn't understand the value of having 2 lawyers friends. He's too dumb but I guess can be forgiven for being a sweetheart.

I'm not sure how I feel about this movie. It was depressing about messed people due to messed up parents... It's sickening.
It scares me. Being a parent can bring both the light and dark in you. It's that hard. Once you fall, it's difficult to bring yourself up again.

On a positive note, being in an environment only surrounded by women might make her feel safer. At least she wouldn't fear the look she's been traumatized with.

We can always enjoy a show without finding it good, or not enjoy one while finding it good. It's my case for this show where I enjoyed while finding it full of flaws

Started with an original concept, only to fall into the typical unoriginal police J dorama, but with an increasingly incompetent police force (A point I agree with the main antagonist of the drama here).

Also, the main antagonist was soooo obvious early on!

It was worth watching for the cast though :D

It's very random but I loved Kiritani Kenta's "haaa" he did twice in this episode. It was enough for us to understand his thought at that moment XD

Does anyone care to explain the last scene of the drama?

So true about the nobility part! I thought the same it just didn't make sense.

This drama had some excellent episodes like the one dealing with eating disorder or stillbirth, among others. Also the concept of the cost of suicide was also original and deep. But the way the afterlife was presented and the over the top patriotism didn't make much sense.

You know my dad is kind of like that. He does show empathy but can be awkward about it. He was never really involved in our daily lives. Just because it’s my dad I guess I never thought much of it, until a friend once gave me the surprised look when I mentioned that my dad never eats meals with the rest of the family. Since then I kinda stopped mentioning to those kinds of things to others to not seem weird haha
Recently I realized how much I’m missing a heartwarming relationship with a father figure. Makes me sad my daughter won’t have that either :(

How do you feel about it? My mom’s the total opposite which can be pretty annoying haha
I guess that’s why it’s so strange to me.

Took a couple of days to complete because I'm not in the mood to get depressed. Why did I decide to watch it? It seemed interesting but it was more gloomy than thrilling (I don't have the energy for thrills anyway :P). Despite the theme, it wasn't too violent or gory which is a + for me

I would say it is a more or less objectively good drama, but what frustrated me was how apathetic the mom is. In the beginning, I found her funny and cool, but that coolness felt more like apathy. On the one hand, she's attentive to the smallest details of her family, on the other hand, she doesn't she an inch of interest in their lives, not a warm place to snuggle to.

I guess they have the dad though, and what a thoughtful, warm dad they have! So I just don't understand why they always end up with one form of leach to another. Maybe it's because they think all men are as worthy as he is. That might apply to the 2 younger sisters, not the older one though.

Between the sisters, the middle one is my favourite, but when it comes to interaction, I love the one between the dad and the youngest.

Can anyone explain this drama to me? Especially the ending?

Also, anyone has links to the mythology this drama is based on? I'm curious.

I don't understand why go through all that pain when that same result could've been reached without it. It just feels like it was all pointless. Well it's the same writer of Someday or One Day who seems to make his stories pointless in the end lol

Anyways, other than the female lead, acting was spot on in this drama. My favourite was Alice Ke, as a character, and how her acting gave the role so many layers. Joe Cheng knew how to keep up with the mystery. His vulnerable hidden persona kept me from hating an otherwise antagonist.

It took me MONTHS to finish this drama. I was stuck at episode 10 where the actions of the female lead character just infuriated me. For 9 episodes I was giving her the benefit of the doubt but as of episode 10, I just was annoyed with every aspect of her personality.

Shigeoka's character was annoying but very well portrayed lol

This… brings back memories

I mean it was far from perfect, the pacing was a bit frustrating, many characters were 1 dimensional, but it was unexplainably enjoyable for me :)
Learning what a ghost bride means culturally it's such an insane thing to have!

Chris Wu's hair cut here... his sense of fashion too but the hair was a crime. Interesting character study. The relationship between the siblings was the main attraction and that didn't disappoint but overall boring movie.
