A biographical story about one of the most beloved Japanese authors, Kenji Miyazawa, presented mostly from his father's perspective. Beautifully directed and shot, though with more melodrama than necessary, it was an interesting and very touching watch, mainly due to its protagonist, Koji Yakusho and Suda Masaki, their exemplary versatility, chemistry and bonding.
Only 2 episodes out, and even those are hard to find on the web. I've seen cut up clips of the episodes on youtube, and the singing was really high quality there. Wish there was more; However, at this point I don't even know if the show is concluded or still airing. I think it's done. Two weeks have passed without an Episode 3. What a shame. This show had great potential. I'm a connoisseur of good music shows, and I'm sad to see this one being cut short. :(
Wait so these are the teams up to the finals??? Noooo how can we get Jay Seunghun Jeup Donghun in one team!!! The dream has been shattered 😢
I loved Milky Up but it was obvious they wouldn’t make it to the finals over Partners. It sucks they don’t even get to do the concert.
It’s basically gonna be a battle between HUNMINJAYBIT vs Partners which makes me sad and nervous at the same time. I’m gonna stick with my main man Jay all the way but good luck to all! And every team at this point deserves to win.
I think I see Mnet wants a vocal K-pop boy group like BTOB but younger like a TXT. A group around that age consisting of all-rounders who can all sing, dance, rap, visuals.
HunMinJayBit was my favorite performance of the semifinals, so it makes perfect sense for me they got first place. I love the 4 of them and honestly somebody needs to sign Kim Minseo asap !!!!!
I'm super sad about Milky Up team TT I know that in terms of singing skills there were maybe the weakest team remaining, but for me it was largely compensated by team spirit, youthful energy, friendship and a lot of elements which make me root for the 4 of them being together...I really hope that the producers and agents are watching them and having ideas for them to make them still debut together >3 !!!!!! Geonu is really so precious and such a good sport at filling in the space on stage...He really did a lot of heavy lifting to keep the mood up and energy high for the performance...
Waterfire had a good performance. Super happy for Su Hwan to be acknowledged by the judges: he really impressed me and was imo the best part of the performance. He shines more within that team than in his previous one...
Partners team was not my favorite from the episode...It felt a bit disjointed...Not sure how to explain that...They were less stable than HunMinJayBit with the choreographic parts and mixed strangely together. I also feel that Bain is kind of "disappearing" within that new team (maybe because there, he is the maknae and is a bit overwherlmed by the hyungs charisma ? ^^"""). That's strange because he was so good when teaming up with Kim Minseo...
Well ............❤️🩹 The end was not bad after all, thankfully 🙃 I did not feel the closure however....I found that it lets the viewer think what is happening next and I don't feel so great about it. At least they are both alive 🤗 so I'll take it as a win nonetheless
We basically had to wait a whole month for Jay and Donghun to perform again… They’re already filming semifinals soon yet we’re still stuck on 3 vs 3. Like I can’t with Mnet 😂
They could’ve included Prayer performance this week instead of skipping through the last 2 vs 2 performances and show a send off or something. They ended up cutting this episode shorter…
Whats wrong with showing emotion? That was so ridiculous way to judge. For me personally when a artist shows emotions to the song they're singing i feel a connection especially when its in a foreign language. For those who've felt it knows
all of a sudden twitter people are hating on past life connection trope, this same audience eats up overused love…
I was shocked 😅 Because since Guwon has being having flashbacks about his past no one will tell me that they didn't expect a short 30 mins well written past story to happen
If another troupe is used this year and they notice its being used in another drama they will complain again.
Thoughts and theories after ep 12... -his blabber mouth servant is probably another reincarnation of Mr park right? Him blabbering now is also what made star Jin know too much and talk Do Do-hee into sacrificing herself -He gave Wolsin the cross necklace much like how she took the cross tattoo.She then sacrificed herself like she tried to before the car crash. HOWEVER she didn't die this time. He changed the fate!? - He deliberately didn't want to go to heaven, he wasn't always bad he was just angry with God. I don't think he's quite the evil devil. I still think Noh Suk Min is. When it flashed came back to present we had the whole Abraxas destroyed the world to become the devil thing. maybe that's the fate that's playing out. He drives everyone around him crazy scratching themselves, talking about sin etc ... I don't know how this will play out yet but its my theory rn...though Madam Ju seeing him and the possible contract with her parents has me at a loss rn "until the world is different our fate will be the same"- is the world different enough now? he broke some of God's expectations and its the modern day so I hope so - "I'll show you that love can save a person" I really hope you do because I need a happy ending to this. P L E A S E . can "God" please stop with this "happiness can be poisonous" can it not please?🤣
So i was waiting for it to finish. Can i just start season 2 even though i prob forgot a lot from season 1?
I think you need to find a short video summary somewhere. Important things, events, and also terms (for example, Wahan Tribe people are introduced by subtitles as being from Wahan Tribe since it's Eun Som and Tan Ya tribe) are explained once more as soon as they appear on screen. But I think it might be a problem if you don't remember characters name, since they changed a lot of side actors too. I have visual memory, so when any acknowledged with main characters side character appeared (even if the actor is same) I googled how did they look like in season one (internally screaming WHO ARE YOU I DON'T REMEMBER YOU 😆) to try to restore at least their key scenes in my memory. For example, they had a scene about their old friend, and during all this scene I was like WHO ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT 😭😭😭 but since he didn't appear on screen I was too lazy to Google who was that, but in the final of that story line they told more detail about him to at least understand what part he played in their lives. Or for example that Wahan Tribe little girl who was a nice friend of Eun Som and Tanya. I understood it was her after maybe ten scenes with her after one of characters got a flashback with her being a little girl. It was all because I don't remember their names 🥲
Beautifully directed and shot, though with more melodrama than necessary, it was an interesting and very touching watch, mainly due to its protagonist, Koji Yakusho and Suda Masaki, their exemplary versatility, chemistry and bonding.
The main leads' performance was top notch.
A beautiful story: An endearing father figure and a meaningful son's self-search, life evolvement and fulfilment...
The son's and daughter's deaths and cremation scenes were emotionaly loaded 💔
The aesthetic, period representation and the cinematography were outstanding.
The last scene was a fabulous end: Grattitude goes both ways ✨
Cheers,
A viewer from Morocco ^^
