Some people say they don't have chemistry, but I think they do... a lot.
There's something in their eyes, their desire to be together, and their awkwardness that's so refreshing to see. I saw something similar in Life, with the pediatrician and ML, who arrived to set up the hospital. It was nice to see them together on screen, but there wasn't anything too blatant (it's okay that in this drama, FL is practically erecting a love billboard for her boss), and you wanted them to be together.

I particularly like this kind of more mature development, which gives them the freedom to get to know each other, their strengths and weaknesses, and we realize they're comfortable with each other. I hope they get together. I really like their dynamic, and unlike many here, I'm not averse to romance, and I don't think it ruins the story.

I'm watching the drama, with only two episodes left, but I confess it has so many flaws that, for me, if I could describe it briefly, it would be something like "missed opportunity."

They had charismatic actors, but nothing seemed to flow. Perhaps because of the sheer number of characters, given that you had the five lawyers in the main cast, which is already too many to manage, then there are their bosses, the building's owner, the husband of one of the lawyers who is an acquaintance of another (and deserved a slice of the plot), the protagonist's adoptive father, who also deserved his own episode, and a flood of varied cases, with no fluid connection between the characters' stories.

In one episode, the bosses are "normal," and in the next, they all behave strangely. Perhaps because this made the writer's job easier. One day, they completely unnecessarily filled the series with a bunch of interns, and just as quickly as they arrived, they disappeared without even a hint of explanation (and I refuse to believe that all of this was just to develop a similarly unstructured storyline about the possibility of one of the lawyers pursuing an education).

The FL was quite annoying, desperate to prove herself as a kind-hearted person and almost an angel, while her partner had to appear stoic at all times, to characterize the "cold person" role they must have written into the script.

Oh, and there was the food. Not even the chat outside the office was that enjoyable for those with so many dilemmas, because even though they were colleagues and went out to eat together every day, most of the time they felt uncomfortable talking about their problems with those they considered friends. Besides, their lives seemed pretty peaceful for someone with 50 open cases. The supervisors, with the same number of cases and still leading people, are always spinning in their chairs and have considerable free time. Real life was a long way off.

Well, if you ignore all that, you can get by. But if you're looking for something more structured, with fun moments, romance, and chemistry between friends, Hospital Playlist does a better job.

When a convict is released from prison, they usually spend some time on probation, which involves adhering to certain rules, including weekly meetings with a probation officer to ensure they are "behaving" outside of prison. This probation lasts for a period of time, and after it ends, you are truly considered "free." Oh, and if you break any rules, including missing your weekly probation hearing, you automatically lose your probation and are sent straight to a closed regime, with no further entitlement. The situation with the boy is as if he were convicted and sentenced, but from day one, he will be on probation, not going to a closed regime (jail), but complying with the appropriate rules. After two years, he remains "free," but as a "free" citizen.

He strategically chose her to be his wife. She was intelligent, with influential parents and a beautiful young woman. Her fiancé was literally designing the perfect family, so hearing that she had a hearing-impaired sister and uncles made him realize it was genetic and he couldn't "take the risk" of having a disabled child. From his reaction, I knew that having someone with a disability in the family could affect the "perfect family" he was creating. It's sad, but considering what her own parents did to their daughter, it was clear to me what the people around her were like. It must be very difficult for her, especially since we realize how human she is.

I'm a huge fan of hers and love the way she chooses her work. There's something emotional and mature about each one, and she always manages to deliver great performances, making her feel completely at home on screen.

I was so happy when I heard she was coming back. I've watched Just Between Lovers about two hundred times and can't get enough of it, and this drama looks like it's going to be another hit.

Excited!

Even though I really like J-dramas, I was afraid to start this drama because I was really disappointed with the Korean version.

I really like the main actress in the Korean production, but the drama was so slow and I think she really didn't know how to balance her emotions very well, that I gave up on the drama halfway through.

Today I started watching the Japanese version, after much reluctance, and I watched all four available episodes in one go and I didn't feel like giving up at all. The actors are great, the main character is doing an excellent job, ML is really good and the useless couple are spreading our feelings of hate with great dedication.

The chemistry also works really well in this drama and I'm really excited to continue. I'm really happy that I gave it a chance without any fear.

But isn't that what FL has done in her 35 years of life? I thought of a list of things that were more important than marriage or children, so much so that she spent the last 10 years alone. Now, after she thought about and executed all her priorities, she realized that something was missing that she was also interested in, which is dating, getting married, and having children.

Each thing represents an area of ​​our life and each individual determines their priority, analyzing desires and even some risk factors. For example, I always wanted to have a family, but my priority was always financial independence and professional success. When I achieved that, I realized that I ended up being somewhat less attractive than those of my youth, and I suffered a health problem that left me infertile. It was a choice I made, but perhaps if I had prioritized a little differently, I would have been more successful.

Some people think it is possible to do both, but I realized that working in the technology area and wanting to reach the management and direction area, I would have to work many hours a day, take courses, have certifications, and work in consolidated companies. If I put anything else in the way, I would end up neglecting one of the two, which I didn't want to do.

So I think Japanese dramas focus on something cool and address women because our dynamics have changed. Before, the roles were divided: men worked outside the home, took care of their careers, and women managed the home and guided the children. Now we have two paths to look at, family and work, while men didn't make a point of absorbing part of the role that was assigned to us. This left confusion, lack of strategy, feelings of loneliness and tiredness, and lack of support. And that's why it's much easier to address these issues with women, because it shows a little connection with reality. I just think they should do it in a better way, addressing these internal issues and doubts, rather than the desperation for sex.

Both of them have a point here and are right in their statements. One watched the entire film and rated it based on the work as a whole. Apparently, he liked the second half much more, but it was still worth the time. The other got tired in the first 30 minutes, gave up and rated it low. The rating is based on a few criteria and they are all valid. It really makes sense to give a low rating to a film that doesn't keep you in it until the end, especially when everything happens there. It seems lazy on the part of the screenwriter and director, but if the ending is your best delivery, at least make sure you keep the viewer interested until you receive it.

I watched the entire film and unlike practically ninety-nine percent of people, I absolutely hated the ending. The FL plays a game with her husband about their infidelity and the drama has some twists and turns. In the end, what was said as a lie ends up being the truth and she leaves to be happy.

So far so good, even though I find it really strange that she would leave her ex-husband and his lover at her mother's house.

Everything was going wonderfully well, until the lover just showed up saying that FL got the manga approved, that she would be the editor and her ex-husband the artist.

Now tell me... what's the point of this?

After all that "force", she just showed that she continues to be dependent on her husband and needs to have him around at all costs. She went from being dependent on him as a driver to having him as an artist, just showing that she needs to keep the dynamic of having the cheaters around. Probably a way of showing her ex-husband that she's okay, since she'll need to keep him informed about how her intimate life is going with her new man, even if it's through a manga.

Just pathetic, which makes a lot of sense, the ex-husband's giggle at the end and the editor's joy.

That's it!
Thank you very much.

It's funny to come here every week and see lower and lower ratings. If it continues at this rate, in the last episode we'll have a -7 rating for this drama.

Everything there is very strange. The girl has a dream of being a mother, but she is so emotionally restrained and permissive that she married someone who is against everything she wants the most.

Then a man appears who has no shame whatsoever regarding his own desires, does whatever he wants, changes women like he changes clothes and awakens in her a desire she must have never felt before. But the worst thing is that they managed to take our lovely "butterflies in the stomach", which we feel when we come across someone very sexy, and transformed it into a "uterine reaction", definitively proving that it is possible to ruin anything through the use of the wrong words.

There the young woman is between being a housewife, wife and mother with a guy who completely despises her and throwing herself at a Japanese man with a Latin touch, because according to the drama he spent a long time in Brazil (as always my country is presented as a place where people don't know the word modesty) and he doesn't care much about feelings other than his own.

But as my beloved Japanese like to show that "at the bottom of the well there's always a trapdoor", the protagonist's only friend......... well, yes.

It's funny because of the situations, it's regrettable because of FL (and I really like this actress), it's disgusting because of the attitude of some of them and it has all the elements for a totally disastrous ending.

It's cute (very), the main couple is good-looking, it's a light drama that works well for a Sunday finale (at least that's when they release it here in Brazil).

However, what ruins the experience a little are two things: the first is that the character who plays the young protagonist is absurdly different from the adult character (very, very, very different, which makes the connection between the "traumas" very strange) and the second (I confess that this is what gets in the way the most) is the protagonist's lack of acting skills. How can she be so bad at acting? All of her reactions are falsely exaggerated, she doesn't convey any naturalness in her emotions and I don't know why she was chosen. It's very difficult to enjoy the story and see the protagonist's strange mannerisms.

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays at the end of each episode?

I have the same impression. The worst part is that precisely because she forces an anime girl's voice, she ends up looking physically older than she is in the drama. Other than that, it's a fun and unpretentious pastime.

I'm reading a lot of people loving episode 9 and saying it was an excellent ending and here I am feeling very alone, while I continue to hate this episode in every way, wanting FL to disappear (please, go get treatment and when you're in a good head, you can come back, because with these unresolved issues inside you, you will certainly end up with some of the strength that ML has) and asking not to see that grandmother's face anymore.

She didn't justify it.

She was extremely rude to him initially. She asked him to "talk outside", humiliated him and left. She was very nasty to him.

And I know this because in the following scenes, they had the second couple give a "psychological report" on her, saying how she put up a barrier and couldn't break through it, in addition to showing a flashback of FL's childhood, to see if it would move us and prevent the audience from rejecting her. However, she was a complete idiot.

So I think I understand the person who made this comment a little. I'm also in my thirties and this really was one of the most childish breakups (considering the "way it was done x reason") that I've ever seen in the drama universe.

Last week I started some suspenseful jdramas that surpass any other country. Japanese dramas are also the best, with a depth that is hard to find anywhere else.

If you identified jdramas as trash in general, then you really don't know where to look.

It would never be my intention to complain about someone who is doing a huge favor by subtitling jdramas, especially because I live in Brazil and it is very difficult to find people doing this work here.

When I say that "it is sad or a shame" that the drama is being subtitled slowly, I was not referring to the people who subtitle being slow, but rather that it is "a shame because I am curious and would like to see the next episodes". It is not about them, who I am sure are doing the best they can, but about me.

To help, I always support the fansubs who subtitle jdramas and I never complain to them about it. I really value the work of each of them and I really apologize for having left the possibility of "double interpretation" in my speech.

Here in Brazil, I'm still on episode 9, because we usually have a delay in the translation, but even so, here's the spoiler to understand what would happen in episode 10.

Since the middle of the show, I saw that FL was written as someone who needed to direct ML in everything, while he was 100% committed to the relationship. The story of the towel on the couch, which seemed more like ML had continually left the toilet covered without flushing, took a long time and even though she asked him to stop, things only changed when he traveled and she realized that he cleaned everything up before she got back from work, including washing the dirty dishes she left at breakfast.

It's true that she spoke softly and with love, but we can see the subtleties of the script. She asked him to marry her and decided that he should go to Hiroshima even though he had already told the company he wouldn't. It's as if he were incapable of making some decisions. What he explained to her was that he thought about everything and saw that the best thing would be to refuse the transfer, but when she said she would (even though I think that 1 or 2 years is a very long time apart for someone who has just started a life together) ML agreed with FL's plan.

It doesn't seem like a drama about how to "have a life together" but more like "you should train your boyfriend so that he can be the model you idealized and he will thank you for shaping his life as if he were your 5-year-old son". I don't know, it was all very strange. So when you mentioned in the comment that she didn't want to go to Hiroshima and gave in, it ended up being what I expected from the character as she was written.

So talking about the last episode: don't they end up together? Does each one stay in their own city involved in their professional lives? Just so I know if next week I can use my time with something more interesting.

It's a shame that this drama is being subtitled so slowly, because I'm enjoying this story.

The first two episodes were a preparation for the story that is about to begin: "the real revenge".

I hope they make the next one available as soon as possible.

I totally agree with you.
I love this kind of suspense too. The dialogues, following the couple's daily lives and the way they discovered things, it was really fun!

Thank you for not making me feel alone in this drama.
