Japan is not hiding about their war crimes neither they sugar coat it. Even in Taiga Drama like Idaten, they have no problem portraying some of their army disgusting acts towards Chinese....also some stupid decision from the higher up that leads to WW2.

This "Fake Account" guy never watched real Japanese historical...that's why he assuming Japan must be like other countries that only talked good things about themselves.

China sometimes do dramas with the real existing dynasties settings...but of course the characters are fictional with maybe "cameo character" of historical figure. Example Strange Tale in Tang Dynasty, Longest Day in Chang'an, Yan Xi palace series, etc.

Many years ago Hong Kong dramas also tend to have their historical based on the dynasties. I loved how while there were totally fictional stories, the socio-political aspect was made believable to those dynasties. For example in Ming/Qing it's always about official corruption (apart from court politics)...in Song dynasty, the laid back everyday life of scholars....etc

What are you talking about? Japan is one of the countries with complex history that no one can claim a hero over the other unlike other countries where history was written for the winning side.

In case you didn't know, there's no winning side in Japanese history. It was always betrayal over betrayal...but all betrayal in Japanese history got a fair share of their stories and POV in the history lesson....which in other part of the world these people could have been easily labeled as the BAD GUY...but not in Japanese history lesson.

Can you focus on Asian history and historical movie/series/drama.

Please name one title of korean movie/drama that have high historical accuracy.

If you couldn't, then it proves my point above was right (Korean never produced historically accurate piece). No...even Jewel In The Palace isn't accurate with the fairy tale ending...if you think I didn't watch that.

You should try watch some of Japanese REAL historical drama (definitely not Shogun)...then you come back and read you comment again.

Using Shogun as example of Japanese historical drama/series is proving how clueless you are....LoL

Maybe symbol of trophy after defeating the Japanese army? Note that it was on the left hand, so it's probably the confiscated one....but the more likely answer probably because it will look good on that poster arrangement according to the designers eye...lol that could also be the reason they chose a long one to fill the gap between the space.

I've never heard if Korean have ever produced a very historically accurate piece anyway. The most they have are the cameo of historical figures or story based off events but rest of the writing would be fictions.

That katana looked super long than usual though...lol

BTW, I think Genshin was probably just a generic representation of Japanese samurai instead of a real person in history.

Nice closing for the Season 1. The story was nothing special but the performance was spectacular.

This is available on YT with Eng Sub if anyone is interested:

Very good SP with right amount of emotion. The writing was amazing with in depth focus on struggle of a person in pursuing dreams and the people who never give up supporting that person. Highly recommended! Watch it at NHK world while it's available.

The rationale behind the accident was not making sense and felt forced with some characters turned ally overnight. It also seemed like the drama was written simply because they wanted KimuTaku play a bridge engineer role which he haven't done before. This kind of plot honestly will work just fine with any other professions IMO....LoL

It's an okay drama to binge watch in terms of the plot. The production was good IMO. KimuTaku as usual played the cool KimuTaku despite his character in this drama is in the 50's. Takeuchi Ryoma's character reminds me of the good ol Jdrama...lol Overall acting performance from everyone was decent enough. It will worth your time.

What I don't like in the spoiler below

If you're still looking, Kissasian [dot] lu has it.

It's the typical made for festival, Japanese slice of life movie but the plus point is it showcased the baka-nuri lacquer art.

So this drama made me want to watch Odd Taxi anime, which I did afterwards. I can tell that many of the context was lost in this drama. Therefore if you want to watch RoOT, I highly recommend you to start with the anime first.

It's Bakarythm so expect some MENDOKUSAI but witty conversations....yes, that is a compliment.

Yes, the case is totally new and independent from the series, but it has very minimal reference to some of the characters.

It's hard to remember when exactly this took place since the series isn't linear to begin with...I guess it's before he rode the shinkansen in the series (where he solved dispute between mother/daughter or something i don't remember)

The story in this Part 3 was good although it was just a typical forbidden romance. Loved the performance from all the actors especially Emoto and Fujino. Hopefully we will get to see Part 4 and 2 (movie) available online soon.

Can be watched on YT with eng. sub
