A bit better than the 1st part, many action scenes, feels a bit Keizoku SPEC, but for some reason the pacing was a bit slower at some places. Santamaria couldn't move on from his obsession of Baumkuchen (in reference to "Hi no Ko"). Featuring 2 main cases (3ep/case). 8/10
This is surprisingly amazing in the category of drama involving workplace and work. Don't be fooled by the poster and the lengthy synopsis. If you like Attention Please and Good Luck! you would probably love this one too! 8.5/10 for making viewers feel inspired and value their work regardless of what their job is.
As a person who didn't watch this for Fujioka, I think the drama was surprisingly good in its own way. You might be disappointed with some of the "pseudo-scientific" elements but the main case was good and made you curious to know more especially during the last 3 episodes. However the writing was not that strong in the investigation and the mystery part. Instead it was more philosophical and comedic at times. Although I do have several pet peeves that's bothering me but nonetheless I still enjoyed this 1st part (or season). Looking forward for S2. 8/10
This drama has the best OST, with a production that is mimicking FujiTV late 90's to 2000-ish style. Story and character are very Japanese but the writing is dynamic and non-typlical in terms of how the plot unfolds. 8/10
Hi can you share where do you get the raw and subtitle?
I have the raw from many years ago (long before the dvdrip version of the series was out) ...so I don't remember where did I get it from. So sorry that I can't help you.
I watched it raw. It wasn't bad and very comical at times but the number of episode is too little it felt it didn't develop into a strong drama. Not sure of how close it is with the original novel. Very little focus on work, more on the people of the "Sakura Shopping Street", if that matters to you..
Overall quite an interesting drama. I'm not a fan of it "trying to look cute" though, but other than that it was solid. Please bare the first 2 episodes for the super-exaggerated receptionist job-scope. After that it will be good. 8/10
This was as entertaining as the previous 2 movies. Watch it whenever you have the chance!
*** Someone has shared the link for Indo Hardsubbed down there. Chinese hardsubbed also available somewhere...but no Eng sub yet (at the time of writing), in case you're wondering.
Okay, overall this drama was funny and lighthearted with some bits of information about being elegant and the history behinds it. The plot was simple almost like a fairy tale in the modern days though. I watched it raw so I have missed some of the terms, names and French words....LoL
Okay, finally got to watch this drama. I was skeptical with Nino being a family man as I always see him as "Yamada Taro", but I was wrong. He did a good job in this one.
Overall this was very entertaining, unpredictable, out of the norm in terms of how the plot unfolds. The writer made a lot of twists to trick the viewers. I wish he made some blunders but upon reflection after finish watching I couldn't find any major irregularities, and inconsistencies, even though it was felt like it has some when I was watching couple of last episodes.
It looks like many viewers have been disappointed with the ending. I personally find this drama has a good revelation considering how "meh" it could be for this kind of genre. At least it was better than Saiai or Shinhannin Flag, just to name a few recent dramas that I have watched.
I think Koharu is dead. Miwa said "Aki doesn't want to leave this world (suicide) before she sees Koharu again".…
Yes, I'm thinking the same thing by the expression of the wife and Todo. Then right at that time the director shift the scene to Narusawa's baby who was born as the symbol of "life vs dead".
I only read what this drama is about after someone recommended it on "Mirai e no 10 Count" page. I should have noticed it earlier, but I guess the lame poster makes it buried down under the landfill...lol
This drama is actually has very very minimal similarity to "Mirai" and personally I think the two shouldn't have been associated together and not to be compared with each other. Both are good in its own way, but Naguru Onna was created during the golden era of Jdrama, therefore it has the so called "formula" that makes everyone feel happy with it and the finale was done so grande you would feel like smoking cigar at the end.
I watched this because of Shida and smoking food. I was expecting some "cooking actions", but smoking isn't something that has a lot of actions...LoL I'm not a fan of watching couple with no tension and drama so I found this was a bit difficult to be watched back to back (READ: boring).. Things only got interesting at around Ep9 to be honest.
It might not work for me but I'm sure there are people who would enjoy this kind of drama.
8/10
