If I had noticed before that this was from the same writer who did Marumaru Tsuma I wouldn't have bothered watching. There's some disgusting discourses here.
I watched the episode 2 now and I'm really feeling cheated, that the first episode sold me a lie.The episode presented…
Episode 3 was better, but episode 4 was "bad", and episode 5 was glaringly wrong. How can that Ministry be wrong, for not giving billions of public money to a private and superfluous project when there's so many other priorities in the country? (and with the projected future expending from the Olympic) Another incoherent and illogical speech in the end, with the character trying to convince his father to engage in corruption removing his project from the list just because they worked hard, and completely ignoring Sakura earlier suggesting to re-bid the project with a more realist budget. Hilarious.

Samura is SMOL! Seriously, how shot is she? Or the production uses tricks in some scenes to make her appear shorter? Anyway...
Because I had seen the photos posted in the pages of the other episodes this didn't went exactly as I expected. It starts 10 years in the future and Sakura is in coma, we see the story unfold as a flashback being told by the other character. This I didn't liked, you probably already seen this being used plenty before, it's hard to believe that Sakura will not get better by the end. It''s cheap drama, and unnecessary drama, because the rest of the episode already have good enough drama. Sakura suffers in other ways beyond being bonked in the head and this is the interesting part. Sakura is an "eccentric" personality and as you can imagine, she has a hard time fitting. Worse, the story begging with her being recruited by a big corporation and no matter how genius you can be, if you're new how had to abide by their "rules" and fit in quietly.
I'll say no more, just that it was good enough to continue.
At first Sakura "eccentricity" annoys, but both the script and the actress gets more comfortable with the role during the episode, you can get used to her.
If I remember correctly, there was a plan to build a bridge when Sakura was younger, but the plan was scrapped/delayed…
Well, then a new plan is needed, and then there'll be a new "competition" for what company offers the better bid to build the bridged. This is what would normally happen, right?
First, that Akina Nakamori, never knew about her.I loved her, she displayed a really good and convincing performance…
No problem with a bit of drama near the end, but this is a japanese story, so it had to be "nonsensical". The way they talk is like neither Yumiko or Kana can be married and working. If they marry they have to stop working and doing what they love. Nothing of that was necessary, pure bullshit.
This and Yumiko dying in the end, such and old cliché. Why not just have her and Kanna living together, even rising Yuna together? Missed opportunity.
First, that Akina Nakamori, never knew about her. I loved her, she displayed a really good and convincing performance here. And of course, she was so cute... Her beauty is a bit difference from the "conventional" for lead roles, right? Just compare her to Narumi Yasuda. Personally for me she is much more beauty. It's not a "boring beauty", if you know what I mean.
Moving on, this was a good drama, really liked but of course, they had to find a way to spoil things a bit. Read below:
I'm watching and I have to say something about episode six:
I understand Hana's despair and is a very sound decision she makes. If she stays alone she'll get to a point when can't bear anymore, to not forget all that she'll have to suffer until she get to that point. It's hard to go alone, without support, emotional support. That being said I don't like that she has to "love" Ittaku, and marry him. Didn't she made that decision for herself in the first place? feels like she is paying him back for what she is asking. Yes, it'd be with a weigh on her mind knowing that he likes her, but this weigh isn't ever higher forcing herself to "love" him back? It's "forced" romance, for me unnecessary.
NO, it is NOT!What a bad joke was that?!Seriously, what a huge disappointment.Good idea, failed execution.
It's not a matter of interpretation, there were holes in the story, parts that made no sense (like the protagonist confessing a crime to the police's face and they don't even register) and some little dishonest bits that changed what we had seen before slightly to "reveal" the twist. Among other things.
That's another interesting side they could have tackled, but nonetheless it's still a 10 for me. The character…
"I agree with her husbands point. It's also possible to become happy with just both of them" The interesting in this story that we got is that she also understood this! She wanted children but had accepted that they could make one together. It was the pressure for others that made she that way. She is a very successful and realized woman, but because she isn't a mother she is a worthless failure? Nothing that she does and accomplishes matters? For me this was her drama, and yes, they could add this point that just because you aren't the biological parent you aren't less of a parent, and being the biological parent don't make you a better parent. But anyway, it's not a 10, it's a 20.
Besides Mizuho's trial, we have 4 couples. 3 of them have satisfactory endings, 1 of them not. I'm talking about (Mutsumi) Haga. Her "problem" isn't discussed with her husband in the end, husband that was mostly missing from the story, and there's a clear "solution": adoption. Going that way this story could also touch this huge problem. The United States/UNICEF is very critical of Japan, their laws punish the children. Very fast the children are put into institutions, preventing them from growing on normal homes. Even with abuse and without being able to get their child back the parents can deny that their child go to foster homes. There's a lot of abandoned and forgotten child locked inside institutions.
It's strange that her story didn't want this path and didn't even got a satisfactory ending. By her stance after at the end of the trial she can "do it" again.
I like how this drama make you form your own opinion, they even repeat scenes with different perspective, and…
Because there isn't "absolute truths", and even if they exist isn't relevant. When even the person in the center of the matter have it's own interpretation AND opinion about what did/happened, who knows the truth? What's the point of the truth? This was a relevant plot point, after all, we all make judgments, constantly.
Months ago, I watched "Marumaru Tsuma", also with Kou Shibasaki. There she played the wife of a "newscaster". It wasn't the only drama with that "problem", but it was exacerbated by this detail. The problem being "the difficulty that japanese scriptwriters have writing good monologues and speeches". It always feels like the character isn't saying enough, isn't saying what he should be saying, it's missing the point. Well, my friendos, Shinozaki Eriko did it. She wrote a perfect speech/monologue here. Nothing is missing in it, it says everything that should be said by the character and context, and to move and conclude the story. Perfect.
Also, this drama is 20 out of 10. Superb and must watch for everyone.
