Title Kamakura dono no 13 nin Spoiler
Quite a good taiga drama production with fresh style of filming and writing. Many good shots that's worth the…
1. Lack of feeling of passage of time. The scenes between days or months of traveling were made continuous as they were happened right after the previous.
2. The drama didn't focus much on war with many war events were skipped via a quick narration.
3. The MC developed from a hero to anti-hero to villain. In other anti-hero dramas, writers will try to rationalize the anti-hero actions of the MC, however not in this one. I guess it would be hard to swallow the villainy actions after you have been rooting for the MC all those while.
4. Ending was kind of make you think and opened for viewers interpretation however might be the best for this kind of MC.

Quite a good taiga drama production with fresh style of filming and writing. Many good shots that's worth the wallpaper of your PC. I haven't watched Seiten but I think Kamakura13 has the most beautiful cinematography I have seen in NHK Taiga drama. The costumes were also good and authentic without unnecessarily include modern elements and weird colors like what they did in Kirin.

Story-wise, 2/3 of the drama was a bit chill and lax with many comedic moments and family stuffs. However the last 1/3 was surprisingly darker and intense with lots of political scheming. This drama also has new interpretation on the famous Hojo Masako and Yoshitsune characters.

The downside in spoiler below
On Because We Forget Everything Dec 21, 2022
Finished it some time ago. It was such a relaxing and chilling drama despite the mystery hint in the synopsis. More on slice-of-life than a mystery to be exact, but it's not boring as there were some ups and down in the story. Each episode featured different artist/singer performing/lipsyncing the "live version" of their song.
On Densetsu no Kyoshi Dec 5, 2022
This drama in a nutshell: When you think you're already a worst person just to find out there's someone 1000x worst than you....haha

This drama was weird at the beginning but it turned into a fun, manzai-style bantering after the second half. Last episode was kind of draggy but overall it was a good watch.

Ah i haven't read the manga, but isn't it Josei manga? from the synopsis, the story in this drama is focusing…
Yeah thank you for judging me!!

Ur comment is making me not to watch this just yet. Do u have recommendation for good courtroom drama?
Sorry for my late reply. I am not into law dramas, but I liked Legal High, Hero (2001), Majo Saiban, 99.9 Keiji Senmon Bengoshi, Good Partner (Jdrama) and the recent Ishiko to Haneo.

Non law dramas with extended courtroom scenes that I have watched and liked:
Smile
Innocent Days
Shiroi Kyoto
Watashitachi no Kyokasho
Saka no Tochu no Ie
On Shinjuku Swan Oct 31, 2022
I guess the movie version is better but this is still watchable and it has more stories on the scouted girls. Fanservice isn't that much despite having Asami Yuma and Nishino Sho in the drama, if that matters...LoL
On Shinjuku Swan II Oct 21, 2022
I liked this better than the first one as the story felt more developed without much waste on telling the backstory of the main characters. The action part was also good especially in the warehouse towards the end.

Oh yeah speaking of relationship, this drama didn't provide a good one too. It's too one sided with shameless FL thinking that she will be destined with ML from day 1. The love didn't develop naturally and the male characters were too conveniently fulfilling FL's mindset. There are tons of dramas out there with better characterization and believable relationship...

No point of asking me to drop a drama when I already finished it....and it's not like I don't know what Josei manga is. 😅😅 That's why I said the drama was "too Josei" for me (note the word me)

As I said in my top comment above I was expecting more "work aspect" in the story. If you notice, this drama cut-short on the renovation part by only showing the "after" during the ending credit. It's such a waste in my opinion and could've been a game changer should they brought it in the middle. I wonder how it is in the manga though. But it could be interesting to see more "realistic renovation work" in the drama without blindly follow the manga.

By the way, I have been watching drama for quite some time....I mean I started from the late 90's. So it's not like I haven't dropped a drama before although I didn't include them as it was way long before I joined MDL. I'm not that naive to torture myself if I think it's really bad. By completing this drama it simply means it's tolerable although it didn't turned out like what I have expected.
On Cinecon e Ikou! Oct 20, 2022
This was a feel-good, light, and funny drama. Very enjoyable and stress free. I also liked the small talk about movies in each episode between Mr. Shibui and Matsumaru. Mr. Shibui was exceptionally funny and he is the MVP of this drama in my opinion.
On Me no Kabe Oct 17, 2022
Title Me no Kabe
The synopsis sounds like it's a business drama but it is actually not. Expect more investigation and crime mystery if you want to watch this.

Dropping a drama you're not enjoying is the preferable option than forcing yourself to continue watching and hating…
Nah..When I said I able not to drop I meant to say the drama was still watchable although I don't like how it turned out to be. After all Jdrama only has 10 episode. Unless it's really unwatchable I rarely drop Jdrama.
On Mahou no Rinobe Oct 12, 2022
Nah...this was "too Josei" for me. I was expecting less Josei element and more work but it's the other way around. Able to not dropping this drama is already an achievement for me...LoL

EDIT on Oct14:
To make things clear when I say it's an achievement for not dropping I was referring to my "endurement" to the "Josei logic" i.e. the love problems of the FL the male characters that conforming FL's mindset, as well as the supposedly lowkey feminist messages (that felt too one-sided).

This could've been countered with more work elements, I mean the renovations part, but the drama failed to give a fair share on that. Not sure how the manga goes. It could be they just followed what is in the manga except that shitty "music video like" camera effect that appeared every 5 minutes in the drama ...LMAO
