I'm only on episode 5, but I find myself confused about why the original murder wouldn't have been reported as…
I was having problems understanding why they wouldn't report the crime as self defense also. The show kinda clears it up in the end though. But I was also thinking that they were thinking about Rio and Yu's future. Watanabe + friends were drinking and smoking marijuana (highly illegal in Japan). If he's found stabbed to death and police found drugs, that might've ruined her future/any normal life they could've had. Even if they weren't guilty of the crime, they were guilty by association (according to the public).
I thought it was entertaining, but the reveals were linear and predictable. and then it got better by episode…
I just don't like the message of "family first before a crime" (when Rio gave Yu money to go on the run when cops were chasing him) or "guy who committed a crime gets away because he had good motives"
Just because there is cruelty and hopelessness doesn't mean the movie is bad. Y'all really think that everything…
Read my comment again. I never said it was bad. I said it was messed up. Bad = quality (production, acting, storyline etc). Messed up = twisted. And I know that we live in a cruel world. That doesn't mean that we should lose our humanity and become insensitive to movies and crimes like these.
Ughhhhhhhhh, what a messed up movie. To learn that it was based off of a true story is even worse. Just goes to show that some people aren't fit to be parents. Masami Nagasawa really did a good job here. I hated her so much.
Kim Jae Wook is really the only SK actor whose career I'm interested in. I don't remember if I first saw him in MSOAN or Coffee Prince, but I immediately liked him (and his aesthetics). What cemented my love for him as an actor was his portrayal of Hong Tae Sung in Bad Guy. He was so angry and bitter, so complex, so broken... I really want to re-watch his dramas (ESPECIALLY Bad Guy), but I don't know if I can sit through a bad storyline and see his heart break as 2nd lead (I still hate Han Ga In for this haha). He really needs to be more appreciated for his work and his talent!!! I really wish there was more KJW content out there, even variety shows/talk shows/radio. He seems like a private person though, and so he doesn't make a whole lot of appearances. Also, him speaking Japanese is the sexiest thing ever. He doesn't have the usual Korean accent and he speaks so comfortably (I know he used to live there). I just love listening to it.
Hikaru and Sora had an open ending, but I thought it was the most appropriate. Sora's an otaku who's awkward with people and who isn't even fully sure of her feelings. Hikaru knows himself more, I would say, but is waiting for Sora to be ready. They're consistent to their character.
Some parts I understood -- Aoi talks about a proposal from Soseki (not clear who he proposed)- there's some talk…
My Japanese is pretty rusty so I can't be trusted, but it sounded like to me that Aoi was proposed to by Ichinose. Hikaru also says to Sora, "もしお母ちゃんは沖縄に行っても..." It sounds like mom might be leaving, and maybe that's why they talk about Sora being lonely.
Between Wataru and Sora, he asks her if she likes someone else. Sora answers that she's not sure if she likes him or not.
Irino is such a refreshing male lead. I don't think I've seen a male lead like him before. Okada Kenshi plays him perfectly. He and Hamabe Minami are the standouts in this drama! I kind of wish this was more of a rom-com though. I feel like there was so much more they could do with Wataru, but he was wasted as a character...
I don't understand the ending. Someone, please explain it to me!
Was Nikaido helping out Kuroshima? why else did he attack Tezuka in episode 19? to make it seem like he was her ally when he was wanting to find out the truth (but also wanting to protect her)? And grandma was in cahoots with Kuroshima? Kuroshima and Misato were planning on killing grandma but ... that backfired? Grandma wanted Misato gone and these series of murders happened? Please explain.
Poor guy wasn't even in on the plan. I totally understand his line of thinking and why he did what he did. His relationship build up with Nozomi felt so natural. I think she did have some romantic feelings for him but she just wasn't aware of them (while also having romantic sentiments for Naruse). This is probably the first drama where I genuinely like both romantic interests and I wish she could've somehow ended up with both of them (Yeah, I know Eikura Nana & Kaku Kento are married in real life).

OMG, that was excellent hahaha
