Yes, I agree. I don't think Natsuki loved Soichiro the way he loved her. It was definitely a lot more platonic…
Exactly! I don't think Natsuki and Soichiro would have slept together if not for Kuga leaving. But I can also understand why a lot of the audience feels pissed at the ending and that's probably because the writer did not put in too much effort into developing Kuga and Natsuki's relationship, unlike Soichiro and Natsuki's relationship which was fell fleshed out. Even Soichiro and Nazuna's relationship was written with some care. I could feel that both of them did love each other, and that sort of fizzled out. But with Kuga and Natsuki, I felt like it was very one-sided. Even though he reflected and came back for her, I wondered whether he would truly make her happy because we didn't get to see them as a proper couple at all.
"Everyone lives in different worlds. But if you like each other, just with that, you can cross over any boundary." Sweet, romantic and heartwarming, with beautiful performances by the ever-talented Nao and adorable Sugina Yosuke. This was a lovely tribute / adaptation of one of my favourite drama called Kimi No Te ga Sasayaite Iru. Time well spent :)
Btw i tried finding Nisennen no Koi everywhere I so want to watch it it's my kind of genre 🫡🥺
Oh I downloaded it on my older laptop which is at the repair shop. I'll share the link with you once I get that laptop back. I plan to watch it soon hehe :)
Whoever said you need words all the time.. What an adorable and heartwarming movie, with beautiful performances by our lead trio. I loved it so so much. Highly recommended for all :)
You are free to like / dislike a movie, but if you watched the film entirely, you'd realise that your impression…
Cultural differences should be respected. But your reply sounded like a statement of hate towards Japanese women and culture in general, thus I said "your tone sounds racist". I did not accuse you. I merely pointed out my interpretation of your comments. I called out your tone rather than labelling you the person. Huge difference in meaning.
Also, that research of common ancestry is ancient. They clearly have distinct genetic makeups now, and have long ceased to exist or be considered the "same race".
Education is a life long process, so both of us should continue to educate ourselves.
Okay so just completed a rewatch and this time i kinda understood and accepted the ending. Maybe I'm kinda reading…
Yes, I agree. I don't think Natsuki loved Soichiro the way he loved her. It was definitely a lot more platonic from her side. Like they were more than friends, but not exactly lovers. Soulmates, I would say for sure. I would have loved for them to end up together, but I was actually able to appreciate this ending. Men and women can definitely love each other deeply, without it having to be sexual or romantic. Not just that, Natsuki was looking for something different. Soichiro and her were too similar. Like she mentioned, she wanted someone who would lead her and take her hand, rather than someone who had her back and would give her tissues, which beautifully explains the difference between romantic love and platonic love.
You can't tell me this was made 25 years ago.. it's amazing how the J dramas from the 90s feel so modern and yet have this classic old school romance vibe. What do I say about this drama... ahh the perfection this was, the feels it gave me, the love I had for the characters and their journey together. Probably one of the best from the 90s, and now a favourite. Sorimachi Takashi and Esumi Makiko were just beautiful together, be it their bantering, the way they always rooted for each other, their friendship, their love for each other; just everything about their dynamic moved me so much. You can't tell me they were not soulmates.
If you've read the comments, you'll know that many dislike the last episode or the conclusion, and I won't deny that it broke my heart, but I think it depicted a reality that many films and dramas don't dare to portray, and that is platonic love. I would have loved for a different ending, but I was able to appreciate the ending and the writer's message behind it.
This drama was just LOVE. Highly highly recommend this coming-of-age gem for all, especially for all those who love to see a drama that dares to be different, and portray platonic love between men-women :)
