E2. "Since you're related to them, its kind of like a swamp you can't escape from, and you may end up being hurt more." "Swamp?" "Also known as love" "Whether it be a close or a shallow relationship, it still hurts."
"I guess we all need that someone, huh"
"People live for love.. or so it seems. But that love is both beautiful and cruel and at the end, we have no choice but to live with both."
Episode 2 killed me. This is shaping up to be such a powerful and hard-hitting mini-drama. As someone who cared for my grandparents all my life till their death, I related to Kyoko so strongly. Those intense feelings of love, and hatred.. sigh.
A bittersweet humane story of two lonely souls, one who is blind and the other who sneaks into her house while on the run, finding solace, closure and support with each other's presence. A simple film full of loud silences, and a lot of heart. Give it a try :)
The worst thing about this is that it ends :( It's a pity this didn't return with a 2nd season because there was scope for so much more and it definitely looked like they were hinting at more.. we were finally getting to the romance GAHHHHH. They could have gone on for a good 15-20 more episodes and I would enjoy it.
This is one of those rare dramas that didn't have a single dull moment. It was light, feel-good and heartwarming all the way, with flawed characters you can't help but root for. Watching the central characters grow into their own people, learn to let go and accept each other was such a fulfilling experience. Taiwan seriously makes the best manga adaptations. Highly highly recommended for all :)
I have taken the liberty to sum up the movie for those interested - Girl A gets amnesia at the airport and mistakes one man B for her boyfriend C That man B begins to mistake A for doppelganger ex D C tells B not to think of himself as C Then some mysterious moon appears and A goes back to thinking C is C, and no longer recognises B. B is confused over his feelings for A and D. Another character E begins to talk to B about how cooking and falling in love are the same thing and how he's confused too. And then he says he thinks he should go travelling. A rejects C. Then suddenly A remembers B, and begins to wonder about D. Another character F, who likes B, asks A to take care of B. B meets with an accident on the way to see A. B realizes that D is dead. A apologizes to B and tells him that she loves him. B addresses A as D. A is happy to be a replacement for D. B wakes up with amnesia and doesn't recognize A. A, B, C continue living together. F and B have a conversation about love. B watches A and C acting cosy, and the next minute A and B have a serious talk about stars and making wishes. A asks C to be her friend under the tree where B and D promised their everlasting love. B makes his sculpture. F can't understand whether it's A or D. A comes to the gallery, looks at the sculpture and thanks B for remembering her. A, followed by B, put their necklaces on the sculpture. B kisses the sculpture's lips. Add to that, they're speaking Korean one minute, and Japanese the next, that I forgot which language I was hearing.

Hero (2001) is another legal drama with a great bickering duo.
Seriously adore the humour!
Give it a try :)
SOMEONE PLEASE SUB THIS

P.S If you enjoyed this, check out Glass Mask (1997). Similar premise, without the wackiness.
