E2. This show is just so so good. It continues to hit all the right spots for me. I'm in love with all the characters,…
I loved the glimpses of relationship between Shinshin & Towako. I felt sad when he talked about that moment of happiness with her & how it slipped away. That made me wonder whether it was truly the love, or the feeling of being happy that he really treasures.
Matsuda Ryuhei seems to be playing a really similar character to the one in Quartet. There's a silent intensity to him, which I love. Can't wait to see how his character unfolds. The second husband seems like an oddball.. I find him the odd one out of the 3 husbands. He is honest, and puts himself out there, unlike the other two (who hide how they feel a lot more). In fact all her ex-husbands seem nice I wonder why they didn't work out. All of them don't even hate each other and I find that really fascinating. Can't wait for their layers to unfold.
I wonder how much it is Towako's fault that they got divorced. She seems to be the kind who doesn't turn back once it is over for her (which is not a bad/good thing), and I almost feel like her emotions change due to "trivial" things/random thoughts which make her snap and realise that she wants out. I could be wrong.. but it seems to me that way. The ex-husbands discuss & express their irritation or jealousy but Towako is kinda distant, yet she doesn't prohibit them from interfering in her life or coming over for meals. I wonder why..
I do hope they will uncover and look into how she manages to maintain such a cordial & even healthy relationship with her exes. It's not really common for 3 ex-husbands to gathr together with their ex-wife for meals. I do enjoy their interactions as a group a lot, but I hope we get to see more backstory on them as individuals, and how they feel about this situation (beyond the bickering to the more deep which I'm sure we will get because hey this is a Sakamato Yuji drama).
It's interesting that the 3 husbands still appear to love her while their love lives are starting to get entangled with other 3rd parties (all of whom are great actors & casting choices).. it makes me wonder where this will all go.
Special mention for her coming out with the saw.. LMAOOOOOOOO that was hilarious and the fact that she was so clueless about it just made it even more hilarious. And also all of them coming to the party, without the main menu (the meat) HAHAHAHAHA.
E2. This show is just so so good. It continues to hit all the right spots for me. I'm in love with all the characters, and our lead Omamedo Towako who lands herself in the most hilarious yet crazy situations. Each frame and second is so rich with dialogue, the various micro-expressions of the actors & the set-up that this makes for a great re-watch. The narration is fantastic. Great writing & screenplay in the way it draws parallels between the scenes, sets up the tone & ties everything together in the episode. The narrator needs to make a special appearance in this show at least once. I have the biggest smile on my face whenever I hear her voice. Special mention for the ending song - I love that they have a different rapper each episode, & film parts of it differently. The raps are so damn SICK.
Anti-hero Ono Machiko and lil Mone with hot scenes. Just MINDBLOWINGEDIT:For those saying Mone should stick only…
I completely agree! Mone caught me by surprise here. I hope she'll break out of the romcom genre to do real roles, like this one that do justice to her talent.
It came together all so beautifully at the end. I liked it. This was a very real movie that dealt with various issues such as betrayal, growing up and what it means to have a home. If you're planning to watch this for the romance, you'll be disappointed because it focuses more on the journey these two individuals take & how that ultimately leads them to home (each other). The leads have very little screen time together and while I do wish they had more scenes together, the movie did capture the essence of their connection with each other (even when they were apart). All in all, it's a decent one time watch (esp if you're a fan of the leads).
RENN AND SAKURAKO TOGETHER?! Hell yeah. This looks like a busy year for Ren, I enjoyed both his dramas. Looking forward to this (though the plot sounds cringey)
I always see you in the comments section of the J dramas I end up loving. Thank you for all the recommendations!…
The thing is J dramas are fansubbed. So I usually download the raws and get the subtitles either from the various subbers sites (which someone posts on every j drama page on MDL here) or D-addicts. If it is an old drama I can't find anywhere then I watch from dramacool. I've heard some people mention this website called AvistaZ but I've never used it.
Also, what's wrong with the editing team? WHY WOULD YOU SHOW THE REVEAL THAT SHE IS NOT A HUMAN IN THE NEXT EPISODE…
Yeah I think she's Kotaro's ex-wife too & Rintaro's friend as well (given that intimate hug). Ishihara is always stunning but in this drama, she looks so delicate and feminine like it makes you want to protect her. For me she was most stunning in Takane No Hana (but there she was as fragile as she was complex so yeah won't go on about that)
I was surprised the revelation is coming so early (and worst they put in the preview, like why?!).. curious to see where things will go with the whole relevation.

The clips were some of their moments from E1-E3.

All those moments with the 3 of them had me smiling!!

I'm super glad someone picked this up too. Can't wait for E2!
I totally missed your comment lol
BTW I just realised that the brothers' names rhyme. Rintaro, Katora & Etaro. Do you know what they mean?
