I’m brazilian and watched it with portuguese subs, here in brazil we have many fansub groups dedicated to translating older dramas (from the 90s/2000s) so I’m not sure where you can find it with eng subs
what an exhausting drama to watch, it’s tons and tons of informational dialogue, I managed to endure two episodes before dropping it, I really like Ikuta, but this is impossible to sit through, and on top of that, the over-the-top slapstick humor just isn’t funny, I like the style of japanese dramedy, but unfortunately this drama is far from delivering that, such a shame
You are a horrible person. The hard work of so many , not just KSH has gone into this project. All actors , writers…
the height of cruelty is wanting a drama starring a criminal to air, letting him profit from it while his victim is no longer here, so go on with that idiotic little speech, i don’t care, pretend to be this moral yardstick if you want; i truly couldn’t care less about what you think, once again, what i said is still true, and making this little drama about it doesn’t change that, the actors have already been paid for their work, now all that’s left is to wait for KSH to bear the penalty for making such an expensive production sit on hold (and, if all goes well, get canceled)
this drama was so good, i’m really glad the negative reviews didn’t stop me from starting it, i would’ve missed out on an amazing show, i loved it so much
huh but that’s literally my opinion lol, why are you so bothered by it? have a bit more of a personality and worry only about your own opinion, I’ve already given mine and I stand by it
so many negative comments… you really don’t know how to appreciate a good Japanese thriller, it’s well put together and very fun to watch, some reviews made me wonder if you were even paying attention to the plot, I laughed at someone complaining that it lacked a moral lesson, you guys make me laugh
This drama was pretty weak. I kept watching mostly for the fight and training scenes (which really were great), but even those started to fade as the episodes went on. The story is simple and predictable, you can see the ending coming from the start. The supporting characters are basically high-end extras, and this formula of introducing a new character every episode just to move the plot along only got in the way of developing the leads. Their dynamic never evolves, they’re both one-dimensional, and the protagonist’s loud, irresponsible, immature personality gets tiring fast.
In the end, the drama could have worked, but it got stuck in this drawn-out, go-nowhere rhythm without actually advancing the story. There were episodes to spare even though it’s a short series, because the director didn’t know how to make good use of either the plot or the time available.
To be fair, the last two episodes are genuinely great. Japan has this habit of rescuing dramas at the very end no matter how weak they were, and this was no different. They gave the leads more depth, brought in meaningful scenes, and delivered an ending consistent with what had been set up. But three really good episodes don’t make up for six mediocre ones. It’s a nice enough drama, entertaining, but not actually good.
unfortunately I had to drop it after the first episode, the whole idea is so dull and predictable that I had no desire to continue, and reading the comments now only makes me realize that quitting was the best choice I could’ve made, the protagonist is somewhat interesting, but very childish, and the plot itself is quite childish I’m not going to waste my time
It’s a cute little movie, charming, even, but you can definitely tell it’s a manga adaptation. You can feel it was meant to be something bigger, yet because of the limited runtime (since it’s a movie), the format just doesn’t allow the story to go deep enough. Everything ends up feeling rushed and a bit superficial. It’s a shame, because it promises a strong emotional weight that never really comes through. With different choices, maybe it could’ve gone deeper, but trying to cover everything from the manga made that superficiality inevitable (and I haven’t even read the manga). Still, it’s a sweet film with a mostly complete story and a cute couple. The acting isn’t the best, but the cinematography is gorgeous, and the cast, seriously, they’re all stunning. A nice film to pass the time.
