Thanks for compiling and writing this article! Just a note though that Sanada Taiheiki is not a Taiga Drama, but somebody has mistakenly tagged it as that.
What is the focus of the drama? The kids learning? The teacher methods? Or is it something else?You haven't seen…
As of episode2, the focus is more on Inoue Mao and Yagira Yuya characters...less on study method but more on how to be good/profitable Juku teacher...so far it looks like the typical episodic Jdrama
..just watch the episode 2 or rather the 2nd part from the start is says a "special drama" so I thought it's a…
Unfortunately it only has 2 episodes/parts... I guess the preview after the ending credit is the special for HULU only...it looks like the spin-off or side story of Goto-kun plus interviews and NG scene...
Not bad drama... I guess you can consider this as family fluffy? Nothing too deep but you will enjoy this show because of them becoming family and trying to support each other.
For non baseball fan, this is no more than your typical episodic Jdrama mixed up with some magics and life solutions. Few of the problems felt too trivial to be solved using such exaggeration. However some of the problems were really good especially the final one. Not the best episodic-life-lesson drama, but the production is good and it has OP and ED songs by CreepHyp...furthermore it's short 24minutes per episode. It will worth your watching time.
You watched it without subs? HahaAlso SHIT I SHOULDN'T HAVE OPENED YOUR SPOILER :(
Didn't know there's indo sub...I waited until Oct for the Eng sub to finish before start watching and I don't visit this comment section to avoid spoiler...lol
Overall an interesting drama. I wish for it to be longer but upon reflection 3 strong sub-stories in 6 episodes would be better than longer episodes but mixed up with filler sub-stories that's written in episodic and repetitive style.
Will be interested in the following dramas. Hopefully they will get subbed: Nigatsu - hit or miss, nonetheless I will check this out Shinigamisan - looks promising but it could be a flop Boku no Neechan - could be an interesting family drama Nihon Chinbotsu - will watch for the politics...and just look at the cast! Shinhannin Flag - yeah for the mystery Iribito - for the mystery Kinnikuman - confuse with what it is, therefore I will keep my eye on this Solomon Perjury - I don't watch the movies but feel interested with the series format Bank Over - too bad only 2 episodes Seigi no tenbin - maybe, but it sounds cliche and I'm tired with genius character in dramas
Such a waste of potential! The writer has done some good dramas. She did a good job until episodes 45, but the…
In ep48 and 49
Imagine the writer did a totally new take on Honnoji Incidents but all of things were out of place
- Mitsuhide has a very young son and he left him at Tokugawa as hostage...then Imagawa sent the kid to Iinoya thinking Naotora could take good care of it??
- Mitsuhide lied about Nobunaga plan to kill Ieyasu and everyone in Tokugawa believed??
- Therefore Mitsuhide asked Ieyasu to kill Nobunaga instead at Nobunaga's castle....while they can easily kill Nobunaga during that Hamamatsu visit at that particular time??
- Agreeing with Mitsuhide, Ieyasu asked Toramatsu to ask Naotora to prepare the escape route around Kyoto...while Naotora never stepped farther than Sunpu in all her life?? and now she has to go to Sakai and make arrangement?? I mean a big Daimyou like Ieyasu doesn't know other person than Ii families??
- Toramatsu specifically mentioned Chanoya, the merchant name but he gave this task to Naotora while he was more eligible and younger to do this task??
- All of these so that Naotora could meet Kashira for the last time??
- To use western ship, Naotora agreed to sleep with foreigner (conveniently saved by Kashira tough)?? But in the end we never see Ieyasu boarding that ship
- The comedies during Ieyasu and gang escape from Sakai was really really lame with Kashira pretending as passerby
All of sudden this drama has turned into parody a la time-slip manga just in these 2 episodes...I was like...What??
Such a waste of potential! The writer has done some good dramas. She did a good job until episodes 45, but the remaining 5 episodes were bad and 2 episodes before last simply screwing everything up!
Ep1 - 29: excellent, funny in a right way, intriguing drama (8.5/10) Ep30 - 45: tolerable but with some questionable plots (8/10) Ep46 - 49: ridiculous and not better than a parody (6/10) Ep50: carried over the ridiculousness however wrapped up everything satisfyingly (7/10)
Okay, this has a lot of opinion and anecdotal evidence without actually supporting or backing up any of what the…
Yeah Japan is westernized country but their dramas have evolved into its own style to the point it's not everyone cup of tea.....otherwise many people will watch it (at least by those who are not bound to legal consequences)....just look at the numbers of viewers on every jdrama page on MDL.... So assuming a person can easily like jdrama because it's more close to western style is far from correct IMO....but its wide variety of genre is more logical in addition to its uniqueness
