Ah. I also want a golden retriever boyfriend. Was also glad Hikoboshi-kun seems to be doing okay.
Only on first episode but it made my heart flutter which has been very rare for me lately so even if it goes downhill from here I'll still be grateful for this feeling.
In Japan they say couples who watch this together will break up. According to my personal experience, it is true. đ€Ł I am however glad it happened and it's an amazing movie. đ
I'm at the first half of the first episode and like are we okay with forcefully kissing someone whom you don't even know now? đ Why is no one mentioning it in the comments? People even saying it's cute?? Am I in the wrong here?? I found it hella weird and off putting...
Can someone explain the letter that made the mother and teacher go look for the boys? What was written in it?
It was just their names listed together as a hidden message.
In the Japanese traditional format you write/read from right to left, and from up to the bottom, and they hid their names as the first "letters" in the upper column, also making a mistake in the way of writing the "letters" on purpose so the teacher actually notices the "right" way to read (to notice the hidden message) when correcting it: from right to left, not going to the bottom.
It was also an assignment essay rather than a letter I believe (which is why the teacher is correcting it).
Sorry for the confusing explanation.
Also it was really subtle and I watched it in Japanese without Japanese or English subtitles so I might be mistaken, but if I got it correctly the assignment itself was about how they imagine their future (the teacher was also talking about marrying the person he loved when he grew up I think). So their hidden message about their future is their names listed together=being together in the future.
Is it normal for people to run around freely after them killing someone was broadcasted to the whole country? Or is it a plot hole? It actually happened twice in this show so Iâm kind of worried. Even if we say theyâre corrupt, in a realistic scenario at least some civilians would be going to their house, no?
When I watched the first episode I thought itâs going to be one of my favorites but the end left me unsatisfied. :( I feel like it had a such big potential and so many messages to convey but it just couldnât. I felt like they skipped two episodes at the end or something. They didnât close the case with Nagiâs Mother, and I understood that they wanted us to feel like she can âswim on her ownâ now, but ??? swim into being homeless and working at some big laundromat company? I feel like Iâd have been satisfied if her Mother had accepted her for who she is and started supporting her; and for her love life Iâd have loved if the message was that you have to accept your own self to be in a healthy relationship & Iâd have loved if she wouldâve ended up with Shinji, because they learned things from each other and inspired each other and were able to grow because of it and like each other for who they really are and not just the masks they were both wearing (I mean I know it didnât really happen, just kind of felt like they started going into that direction?? Then there was no direction?????) and stayed friends with Gon, because he helped her see herself in a better way. I also donât understand why they couldnât somehow get the laundromat shop. I was wishing until the end someone helped them with it, the grandma with some precious hidden money or whatever. It wasnât so big of a dream they couldnât have achieved while still being âslice of lifeâ, and if it happened Iâd be more open to accept her not getting together with Shinji. But.the.way.it.ended.was.just.a.mess. It made me want to scream. End of QQing.
But anyway loved the vibe and the basic message of accepting yourself for who you are because everyone is amazing! BUT IT HAD SO MUCH MORE IT COULDâVE CONVEYED................ah
I have never seen so many miserable people in one drama. And the whole thing felt like I was watching one of those commercials where the actor does something horribly wrong on purpose and almost dies doing so. I really tried to watch it until the end but I just couldn't finish it.
This usually wouldn't be my cup of tea, as I respect Japanese dramas because they don't build their storylines around misunderstandings, but rather real plot, and this drama is just about misunderstandings, lol. But I enjoyed it! It's a very ă”ăă”ă drama with lovable characters; don't expect it to be serious, but do expect: wanting to text your ex, girls falling over into guys arms, beautiful kimonos, insight into Japanese tradition, cute Kansai-ben! (Also the acting indeed does seem terrible in it, but since I've seen these actors actually act in other works I suppose it was done on purpose, so the viewer can feel the "traditional" way of never showing your emotions, so I liked this aspect too.) Overall a good watch if you just would like to relax with a cute love story and are interested in Japan. ă»ăȘăȘïŒ
I really loved the movie altogether. I donât think the movie would leave such an impact if it had a different ending. Also, am I the only one who feels like the scene where they met again in the ending was just a dream? It doesnât make much sense that she wakes up alone. And the whole room seems rather untouched and dull when she does so. And it would also explain why it ended the way it did.
In my opinion the plot was so sad, I found the whole thing ridiculous. When the guy went to date the "bad girl", I said to my friend: haha watch it be she bribes him with pics of the main girl haha, I was baffled that it was actually the case. I always feel like 99% of the mangas should remain in manga form, because they become ridiculous on screen. This is a perfect example of such.
