Fun, somewhat predictable, a talented duo with chemistry and playfulness. The ending is a bit off. On one hand, they left the main case somewhat open, on the other hand, thankfully, it was definitive as to what happened during the events 7 years prior to the events of this case. Are they planning a season 2? They didn't leave enough mystery to want a 2nd season though. That is, other than the daily banter between those two haha
This movie got much more through me than I expected. No matter where you are, how small you are, if you do the right thing, you will have an impact. And that impact may do more than you can ever imagine. That doesn't mean you will get the title of hero, but you will know you made the world a better place.
Totally agree with all 4 points. I'd also add love triangles (or squares, pentagons...) not for the presence of it but for having completely unreasonable, or mentally ill second leads (with their actions being portrayed as normal bitchiness).
It was entertaining, eye candy, predictable... The poster suggests a much lighter tone than what we get. It is a light movie overall, but I found the portrayal of the parents to be pretty dark. It wasn't really addressed, just presented. The dad was pretty obvious with his expectations and violence, but I found the mom's passive-aggressive demeanor to be scarier. I wonder if it was intentional.
i would like to get my hands on that too. there is so much in this that it made my head spin. The few people who…
Oh no I agree with you about the mother. It's just that we can't really believe her, nor him or his sister. So there is a lot of uncertainties. Whether what she said is true or not, she's still a crappy mother. I just hate it. She brings them to this world. Their dad turns out to be a sick bastard, what do you do, you discard them and start anew?!
Thank you so much for reading and for doing the arduous task of editing it. I'm sorry I write so much. But I really…
I edit for such articles! Such a Gem!
And yeah I think it really depends on where you are in life. When I read what makes a mediator I still feel connections, but I guess my priorities changed.
I enjoyed here what we seldom see in modern Japanese drama, which is chemistry between characters. However, As much as the first half was enjoyable, the second half didn't make sense to me. The last scene was sweet but didn't make sense with me.
I agree; the first few episodes had really good, solid, emotional side stories which helped main character building.…
No I agree with you on that point. I just thought it'd be more interesting to explore what had happened. However it felt her going for him was keeping her from going forward. But going for that nurse felt like going backwards XD kiddin'

Yup agreed about the lack of motivating factors. Basically they all felt forced. Ryuko had some chemistry with Koishikawa and their relationship felt more interesting.
What I liked most here is how Tendo to Nanase wasn't the end goal but the motivation. It adds more to the character than just being dreamy about her prince charming. Her life does not depend on his whim. Her life depends on her actions and life choices. And that was also how Tendo expected her to be.
It's a light, fun to watch with likable characters drama. A friendly working environment that does not exist in real life. Still heartwarming to watch. The side stories the first couple of episodes were fun. The characters that came later on just to make the leads' life harder were completely useless. The events the last 2 episodes made no sense. The main couple didn't have much chemistry. The 2nd couple was worse.
That is why I always hated that story. I only watched the Japanese version but I hated it. This guy is supposed to be the antagonist not the male lead! In reality this relationship would either end badly or continue until Makino loses her mind.
All those around me are either not into TV or too close-minded to try watching something from a different culture.
Have you ever seen "It Started With a Kiss" & the sequel "They Kiss Again"? It's the older Taiwanese version of and probably the best version (in my opinion). It's also one of those rare cases where I preferred the sequel over the first season.
