Of course! It's disappointing when the ending isn't what we had anticipated or hoped for, I totally get that.

Legally Romance!!

Thank you - this is helpful!

I hear what you’re saying. I’ll try to check out Grid before this new drama comes out.

If you get this worked up about a celebrity that you will never meet irl then I don't know what else to tell you. You're acting like you know her personally, like you know what you're talking about...."backing and resource?" You "hate" these "kinds of people"? Yikes, it's frightening.

Just curious - why would you downgrade a drama for the romantic aspect of it?

Well that's not very helpful for the rest of us - LOL!

You said, "What if instead of the soul-crushingly predictable outcome, Kaneda lost it and tackled Yanese and had his way with him? That would have been funny [and not something that anyone could see coming even if they were asleep.]"
However, I'm very glad to hear that that wasn't what you meant!

Thank you!

When Yanase says, "this is the story of the 14 months we spent together" does that mean that they're going to break up after 14 months and this is the story about their short relationship?

Question under the spoiler tag, since I haven't read the manga

There have only been two episodes released so far though, so your "most boring and pointless" proclamations seem a tad premature to me, imho. Also, I REALLY HOPE you were kidding when you said it would be "funny" if Kaneda assaulted Yanese...yikes.

Thanks to each of you for your comments! I will definitely check it out when it's close to finishing up.

Where did you watch this?

Thank you for recommending J-dramas in your article - more folks need to branch out from just one country's dramas!

Wow, I haven't read nastiness like this in a while. You should probably find a new hobby, "Euphoria"

So I HATED, and I do mean HATED Something in the Rain. Since this is a remake, how close is it mirroring SITR? Because I won't watch another character like that mother ever again, if I can help it (and I also hated how drawn out their love story was.)

I had never even heard of it until now. I'll go check it out.

Honestly I wish that Yong Shik would have ended up with Jennifer - she was an amazing friend and support all the way through. I just didn't buy Yong Shik's and Ru Da's love, (and I hardly ever say that. ) What the FL and SML did to Yong Shik in the beginning was so unethical and wrong that if there was any justice in the world they should have lost their medical licenses over it - I was just as incensed the second time about how they treated him. Also there are so few dramas that portray issues of trauma realistically and sensitively (and this isn't one of them either, unfortunately,) but there were a few moments that shined. So all in all, it's a recommended-watch, but Dr. Do is a terrible example of a mental health professional!!

After rewatching a second time, I can confidently say that the FL and SML are two of the most unlikable, disagreeable, and unprofessional, and frankly, unethical characters I've seen. I disliked them both even more the second time through. I still rate this drama high because of the ML (who is frickin' amazing) and because it says some important things about mental health, trauma, and self-acceptance but wow, they were terrible.
