Not a Drama for strong men

The main reason that I gave this TV series a 5 out of 10 is that the main male character is too passive and is just pathetic. How can a man respect a guy who still has feelings for a woman who dumped him so coldly and cruelly? Why has he not got a girl friend in 10 years? Does he have low testosterone? He seems like a guy who is lost and sad. The female lead is good, but she is just a bit pathetic too in that she has not married and is now 30 years old with a job that does not pay much. It would have been better if both leads had had bad relationships and had given up finding someone special and then found each other again. It is sad how many TV shows in Korea and in the West have weak male leads.

Good Romance But Bad Ending

I enjoyed this series very much, and I would have given it an 8 rating, but the last episode was very predictable and very disappointing! I liked all the actors and I liked the way their romance developed, but the ending could only be liked by third wave feminists. Taiga achieved his employment goals, but his heart was broken. His Korean girlfriend dumped Taiga, who was a good man that she loved, and who loved her very much, for a job in merchandising. So Taiga was depressed and the woman got a good job; this is the kind of ending that only feminists would like. Very sad. There is too much feminism in Japanese TV.
