LOL i've been tricked by the poster and did not pick this up earlier even though it's been completely subbed long time ago. My opinion after finished watching: this is a good family drama and i love Ayase's acting and i think the child Miyuki is cute too. The only problem is this came in 2 story arcs and somehow changed the overall mood of viewer a bit on the second arc after a great first one. Furthermore, Sato Takeru's character is a bit annoying TBH (LOL didn't realized it was him before looking at the cast list above). Thank god the ending is satisfactory.
The drama is good but the most amazing part is the acting. Yamada is unarguable damn good actor, but Suda's portrayal of his character is what make this worth watching. This guy is a 'warm actor' type but doesn't outshine others and still give you some kind of impact, if you know what i mean. I like the ending and thank god it doesn't follow suit the border/crisis kind of ending... :P And credit to HPriest for the amazing subs...yeay..
Overall it's an okay movie. I think the main problem is with the long timeline and too many things to put in a short 2 hours movie. If this is a drama series, then it will have more hours to include all those political plots.
Such a good drama overall and thanks to HPriest for the sub too....but i wonder what is the meaning of the very last scene before the ending credit of the last episode....between Shin-chan and Sho-chan....any thoughts?
Not bad! I was hesitated to watch it at first because I just couldn't see Nino as "genius surgeon" and the synopsis…
However the last episode was lame....the plot twist was cheap and the drama has problem with time-line; it wasn't clear when Tokai's dad passed away and when did he left the Uni Hospital....when is the last time people use telegram (not phone apps one)??
Not bad! I was hesitated to watch it at first because I just couldn't see Nino as "genius surgeon" and the synopsis sounded more like "Doctor X - Idol Version" to me...lol
But surprisingly this turned out to be good medical drama....the story is being told from the POV of the intern (Ryoma) which is different from usual.....i find it less cheezy this way compared to if it was otherwise...
Credit to the translator too....she also translated japanese commentary from TBS site...which is from the medical advisor of this drama....so if you (like me) feel something is impossible or ridiculous, you better read these commentaries on tronella livejurnal...you'll be surprised....a lot of other medical infos related to this drama are also there
just finished watching this few days ago....the theme is typical but the way they present the story is amazing....probably the best drama of the spring season?...highly recommended!
Nice article OAL! Although i've been watching Jdrama for years, my first taiga was Sanada Maru which i watched earlier last year.....haha... Before that, i always skip taiga because of longer episodes as well as the complexity of the Japanese historical era and politics...after you understand their political system, everything is kind of addictive and you'll appreciate japanese history more than before... Watched this one last year too, few taiga after sanadamaru...i like how the drama portrays "born to play" theme...throughout the story it's like a game of sugoroku between kiyomori and go-shirokawa...i think this one is the most artistic taiga that i've watched and I'm the fan of the opening...very beautiful!
i'm gonna check this out because i was head over heels with quartet :D
talking about sakamoto's drama, quartet is more like mondai restaurant to me...many side stories but don't connect nicely with the main one...some are damn good (like maki maki's story for example) but the rest are so-so...and some episodes feel like kudo kankuro's drama...lol
Anone on the other hand, still use the same formula but everything is blended nicely...all side stories were written equally in terms of the emotion and not too overpowering the others....
Yuriko looks very different in this.....more mature and elegant....other than that nothing worth to mention....but still an OK drama if you have some time to spare....
somehow this drama is reminding me of Kekkon Dekinai Otoko....the pace, the settings and even the main character....if you're a guy, you would enjoy this one!
Two things I don't get.1. How come is Aoba still alive? She was said to have 6 months left, but she's fine in…
1. I think it's Mochimoto who had 6 months left not Aoba...no? 2. Yes i'm curious about Hikoboshi too...maybe the writer just let this one open for interpretation...it could be like you said where he used the money and end up together with the rich girl....but there's also a possibility that everything was a lie (remember the first letter he sent to Harika in prison?)...and if you look at the Harika's reaction when they were touching their hands after the visit, there's some clue there...
This is one of my favorites!....What distinguish this from the typical Japanese detective dramas is that, this is only focusing on a single case throughout the series...and Uchino's acting in this is superb...if you like his acting in Jin, you would probably like Gonzo...
If you're looking for a crash-course on how to trade the stock, then you should watch this drama...haha i think the more appropriate title should be something like "Stock Market 101" or "Dummy Guide to Stock Trading"...besides the old cliche's revenge plot, you will also learn the following throughout the series (just naming a few that i could remember):
1. How to buy stock
2. Short selling
3. Day trading
4. Insider trading
5. Stock holder general meeting
6. Manipulating the market
7. Bank Run
This drama is actually good and fun to watch over and over again...however, the only available video files on the net are not so good one (well it's before HD era TV-ripped so you can guest the quality..)...despite all that, it's still entertaining and better than some of recent dramas IMO...
