ALL OF THIS IS SO HILARIOUS I AM CRACKING UP AT EVERY SCENE indecisive poor female lead CHECK the narration CHECK all the cliches you can think of CHECK the love triangle CHECK the first love trope CHECK the evil character CHECK crazy in-laws torturing the female lead CHECK spoilt chaebol male lead CHECK rich family secrets relating to the ML CHECK LMAOOOOOOOOOOO I CAN'T EVEN -
Imagine having the ultimate king and queen of 90s J dramas pair up together, the expectations would be sky high and boy this didn't disappoint. The way the ML loved the FL, the angst, the chemistry.. ahh the feels these classic dramas bring, I can never get enough of them. This was by no means perfect and had its frustrating moments but Kimu Taku and Tokiwa Takako, as always, brought their A game and charm to this. The last 5 episodes were especially moving.
"I'm beginning to forget you. Forgetting so much love is terrifying." This film was a poetic, immersive and haunting experience depicting an illicit affair between two people who were scarred by the Hiroshima bombings and war. A film way ahead of its time. Watch it for the powerful cinematography / visuals and thoughtful dialogues on loss, tragedy and love.
I expected something deeper, darker and psychological but this left me disappointed. The story was bland, and so were the characters. What a time waste.
Picture the chaos and madness when a devout catholic girls school and a gangster-ish pervy boys school merge.. this delivered and how in both comedy and heart. As always, Kudo Kankuro doesn't disappoint in creating a wacky universe you can't help but fall in love with. All the characters were loveable in their own ways that I couldn't help but root for all of them. And boy, did they all grow up as the show progressed. I almost teared up in some scenes. Even the sexist / inappropriate jokes were used to poke fun at everything and ended up making me laugh. I felt sad when it ended, because I am going to miss these characters. P.S Only Mitsushima Hikari could pull off those atrocious outfits and end up looking cool.
That synopsis needs to be revised because this is no Cinderella-meets-prince story. It is much more than that. I enjoyed the leads' and their love story, however just like others who are clueless about the source material, I didn't fully understand what was going on [beyond the love story]. For that unfortunately, I can't give this a very high rating even though the movie was shot and acted well. Meguro Ren and Imada Mio deserved better because they clearly gave their all, but the screenplay let them down.

As the show progresses, more OSTs will come up so I doubt you'll have to endure too much of the song haha
I hope he'll continue to get work. He's so talented
