Ep 10: "Right now I'm like a character in a movie. It might not even be the leading part, but that doesn't matter." God, I love her!! That ending "Tadaima" "Okaeri" That scene was- wow XD The way I just finished Seirei no Moribito 3 yesterday, and the last dialogue were the same...
I never laughed so hard while reading a review before. "a really bad wig." "or in this case, ugly sweater." "their father who hadn't sent so much as a birthday card in thirteen years" AHAHAHAHHAHA
Ep 9: It was a beautiful masterpiece. Every moment has been built up to that moment. I'm still crying as I'm blurringly…
Hellnah bro, the way my tears started falling when Torogai transformed into those birds.;-; It all came crashing down when Alsa started speaking again. DX
Smol Chagum showed up and he has grown a bit, huh? Mother and mother moment between the Empress and Balsa. They didn't show us their goodbyes had me punching the air, bro..... Those slow moments of Balsa walking home were really raw, but well done. I noticed that they used that a lot during those final scenes. Even when the Emperor and Chagum were meeting in Nayugu. The emotions I felt-
Ep 9: It was a beautiful masterpiece. Every moment has been built up to that moment. I'm still crying as I'm blurringly typing this out.
Overall, this was really entertaining. For a Jdrama production, they managed to do this much was unexpected and pleasantly surprising too. The production value is creatively designed which really sets them apart from the anime counterpart. (Please keep in mind that I haven't watched the anime version, I only checked out the fight scenes) While in the anime, the world is like Feudal Japan, Southwest China (?), and other cultures., this drama decided to design a whole new look for themselves. I really like how we can distinguish each nation, each tribe, and each person apart. We can even guess some of their origins by the ways they look, or dress themselves.
I also love the Opening Theme song. I'm glad they used it for all 3 seasons, except they only changed the visual sequences for S3, and yes, it was still beautifully done. Not to mention, that one slow piano piece playing at the end- wow- It was so raw and emotional.
The casting was great in their own roles. They even cast the right faces to play the younger counterparts or relatives. Like teenage Balsa to her grown-up self, and her aunt!? Bro!! They do look alike. However, there were some acting scenes by some actors that made me go "Ehh?!".
We can't end this without talking about the fighting sequences. This drama has made me appreciate spear-wielders even more. The choreography and camera directing really made the fight scenes worthwhile. And the Spear Dance for this season? I loved the story that revolved around it. The last episode made up for the flaws and I gladly gave this season a 10.
"Tadaima" "Okaeri" Goddammit, I cried over those words again. :'D
Heh!? The way she asked for Kiichi from Makiko-san. Ahahaahah XDBut in the end, she did all of that for an apology,…
Ikr!!! He wanted a wife who praised him for every single of his flaws. A guy who believed Makiko's bullshits over his wife. The way he can be easily controlled by Makiko just by saying anything related to his relatives. This is the guy who blindly went to a hotel when he heard that his sister's leg was broken. Like, dude!?!! Where are his common senses? DX
Ep 8: "Every fire they started, I will put it out."And the fire has been stopped. I'm glad that I decided not…
Heh!? The way she asked for Kiichi from Makiko-san. Ahahaahah XD
But in the end, she did all of that for an apology, huh? It's not a bad thing, btw. The way she learned to free herself from the obsession of finding the truth and changing her life for the better by not being Yamauchi Shizuka anymore. I'm also glad her mom can finally lift the burden of taking the blame for a kid. Everyone was able to move forward. At the end of the day, at least, they have escaped from the Mitarai Family. I can't imagine how awful their lives must have been if they actually grew up in that toxic family, like the dad has no backbone whatsoever, and their relatives? Hellnah, thank you!!
Ep 8: "Every fire they started, I will put it out." And the fire has been stopped. I'm glad that I decided not to read the manga before watching this. This is better going into it blind.
Overall, it was a good watch. I was on the edge of my seat most of the time. The twists, the pushes, and the pulls, it was all fun to watch them being unfold. Also, I'm not the person who noticed the BGMs while watching dramas a lot, but in this drama, there was really good, it fits the mood, and actually made you aware of them. (not in a distracting way, of course) I always like the BGM that is played when Anzu has the upper hand throughout the drama.
That ending
"Tadaima"
"Okaeri"
That scene was- wow XD
The way I just finished Seirei no Moribito 3 yesterday, and the last dialogue were the same...
"Be good girls and don't copy me!"
*Happily* "YES!!"
I was laughing my ass off, bro... XD
