Am I the only one who is so anoyed by the mother in this drama?
Nop she's a control freak. I like the actress she's great but the character is terrible. Okay not terrible you can definitely see her good side but she had a terrible side.
Yeah um, nothing really stands in this drama. Very underwhelming. I find the main couple very rigid and boring. The male coworkers are the worst, intrusive and controlling. The friends were okay but hardly anything special. But then there's our Kamisama. I would've rated the drama worse but he made it worth the watch for me ;)
I love the cast here, and none disappointed me in any way, but I didn't get what the movie is all about. The ending…
I do like to look into double meaning. It's been a while since I watched (judging from my previous comment, a whole year lol. I need to rewatch. It's definitely the type of movie I'd like to discuss. For now time doesn't help but I'll let you know once I rewatch ;)
I'll keep in mind trying to look at it from the characters' point of view
The story had something missing. It felt empty. The whole mystery was presented in an uneven way. The way romance was dealt with was initially too fast then extremely. Some of the actions there made no sense.
However it was worth the watch for the cast. It was fun even seeing them hang out together, eating, bickering, brushing their teeth... Individually each intriguing in their own way.
I like the lead girl, some occasional good dialogs. The rest is either nothing special, or I just hated it. Overall a wasted potential, with the main question of the drama never addressed.
"Having a son is better. Daughters are no good. Once you’ve raised her, she leaves and gets married. If they don’t get married, you only worry. And when they do get married, you feel let down." So no matter what girls do, it's a letdown. Figures :P
Bored out of my mind. Also the main girl Noriko had this creepy smile all throughout the movie, I couldn't stand it. I liked the father-daughter conversation in the end though.
I totally loved it! Not only was the story amazing, the cast (especially the female) great, but the dialogs were the best! Women's issues were well explored but also the theme of revenge and forgiveness.
Excellent reasons! But just want to emphasize again on the refreshing spin on the trope. Yes it's a contract marriage, but it's done in a way both characters went for it, not one sacrificing for the others. They also went there not to fake in front of anyone, but for the sake of that lifestyle specifically.
And most importantly the trope is used to explore what the principal marriage, companionship is, and what makes it a successful, what makes it unsuccessful, and how to achieve happiness. Of course all those are too complicated questions to actually have definite answers, but the way they were explored was refreshing and fun.
I feel llike Tsutsumi Shinichi doesn't get enough credit for his presence in movies! He always has a way to be outstanding among the cast. As much as he was disturbingly crazy here, you can't help but root for his "love"
OMG this was awesome! Pure entertainment with awesome performance! Okay the ending was too much of an overkill it was too funny for me to complain haha XD
