Stopped watching after episode 2 but I'll put it on hold for now. It was so cringe watching it. Not even the medical plot could keep me to continue watching. Although I was a bit more interested to see where Tendou's sister and the guy nurse was going.
I just noticed that that poster that Fuyutsuki has is a poster of him Takenouchi Yutaka. I didn't see his work yet when I watched GTO so this came to a surprise for me realizing it. Looking back on it now is kind of funny. Matsushima and Takenouchi later on went to star in a drama together and so did Sorimachi too with him.
Some interesting things I found, the actress who played the girl in the hospital who Soichiro helped with was in the gto movie which Sorimachi Takashi is in. Some gto flashbacks there. Also Esumi Makiko the lead actress made a guest cameo in the show gto 1998 in episode 11 as a nurse.
I watched it and finished it even with people saying it had a bad ending. I can say the ending wasn't my favorite but it didn't ruin the drama for me. I don't regret watching this drama even with that ending. The two leads were great together and the plot flowed well enough for me to keep watching. The drama had some good music. Overall the ending didn't ruin the drama because I enjoyed most of it
Hero 2 felt like a disappointment to me. I really loved the first Hero (2001) and looked forward to Hero 2. Hero 2 added in much more comedy to the show. The 1st season of Hero balanced out the comedy with the drama and mystery/law/crime well but in the 2nd season, I felt that too much comedy was added and it wasn't that good comedy.
Another big change to the show was the new cast. The cast of Hero 2001 was amazing. The 2 main leads Kimura and Matsu had unbelieveable chemistry. Also Hiroshi Abe was a great supporting actor. By then I'm sure they couldn't afford him to come back and play a supporting role, heck he didn't even make a guest role. I didn't like the new cast and characters introduced at all. The 3 new prosecutors had characters so similar to the ones that were there from the 1st season. Don't try to recreate something from the past, these prosecutors should have had different personalities than being similar to the past ones. I couldn't connect to them at all. I was glad they brought back the assistant prosecutors from the 1st season, I enjoyed these guys back then and now. Now Kimura had to carry this show by himself because he was the only reason for me to watch this season. He and Keiko were ok together but not the best chemistry. It just didn't feel right. One reason why the 1st Hero was popular was because of Kimura and Matsu's amazing chemistry. I think they should have somehow gotten Matsu to be in the 2nd season.
Dropping this drama after episode 15 and heres why
Xiaowu has just married her then attacks her tribe while also killing her family at it. He does all of this knowing that he will hurt her but still goes through. She runs away to escape as she doesn't want to be married into a place where the people and the man she "loved" killed her family. As she tries to escape she can't is coincidentally at the forgetting water where she jumps in to forget all of these tragedy events that happen. And guess what she wakes up in the palace where the male lead lives and has FORGOTTEN her past and is living life normally.
This is complete nonsense, instead of jumping into the forgetting water she should have killed herself if she couldn't escape from them. Even when she jumped into the forgetting water, the prince and his troops where there so that they would bring her back to the palace and she would have started a new life there which she would eventually despise. Therefore killing herself would have been the only way out. Or if she did jump into the forgetting water have some new people find her and she lives this new life not as the future crown princess so when she does regain her memories she isn't a crown princess by him wanting to kill him. Instead I can predict that a whole lot of episodes will go by she is gonna develop the feelings for him again only for her to remember her memories that will eventually lead to someone dying at the end probably the princess. I already know that there is no way that these 2 can ever truly love each other again so why use amnesia for the princess just to have this love that will mean nothing after all.
If anything this drama should have turned to more of a revenge show. I don't have the will to watch her casually living there all calm when she should be looking to avenge her family. Don't watch this drama if you hate betrayal, ml or fl losing her memories, or not a happy ending.
One positive thing I'll say about this drama is I like the song at the ending sung by the 2 leads.
The first 3 episodes I really enjoyed. Now everything that has happened since has made me so angry and bored of…
So the moment Bu Qi's uncle and dog dies everything about her character sucks. Bu Qi has lived all her life as a beggar with her uncle and dog. When they both die she miraculously runs into people of power and lives there. Then becomes a princess then moves into some other notable family. The thing I'm so angry at that she becomes more of a princess type character. Shes all dressed up nicer and more beauty. I so despise these female princesses characters. Why did they have to ruin her as a beggar. She was much more better as a person as a beggar. Her uncle told her not too be known among others to keep her identity a secret. And these palace characters all introduced, I hate it. Yea she's probably the kings lost daughter but you could have drag that out until later because I want to see more of her as a beggar. This just anger me how I freaking loved this drama then I freaking hate it. The only thing that's trying to keep me from watching still is the character of the Male lead. Update: I skipped to the last episode to see the end. A drama that started out hot quickly killed it for me. Such a shame because I enjoyed the both ml and fl. I will never let you go more like I will let you go.
The first 3 episodes I really enjoyed. Now everything that has happened since has made me so angry and bored of this drama. I'm gonna rant on these following episodes after ep 3. Note that I have watched about 5 episodes after ep 3.
I loved the family aspect of this drama, the mystery stuff not so much. There were still so many things not explained. I felt let down by the reveal of the person who did it. Although I can agree their idea for it all made so much sense. But it's reasoning was stuff from this event they just explained to us in the last 2 episodes.
I enjoyed the first episode. I could empathize with Yuuki. He missed time from school due to injury and missed out how to do the multiplication table and no one taught him how. He also didn't bother his mom who has to work hard for them. That school even put him in a classroom by himself labeling that he was too smart than the others but in reality was that he was "too dumb" from others in his class. It was a crime that no one taught him the multiplication table until Naruse kocho came along.

The cases here were forgettable.
