Yeah, I still don't like the ex. She apologized for calling Kotaro a burden bc she thought she was wrong, which…
I understand your point, but here is Japan, so it's natural for people to 'meddle' in their friends' lives. I mean it's much more accepted than what many of us imagine. Supposedly because it's out of good intention and people are supposed to help each other, they use 'it's none of your business' not that much. As for the father, I totally agree with you, but again, it's very Japanese, giving chances to people to redo their wrongs, maybe too much chance.
I mean, you can't necessarily blame her completely for that. She loved the man, and appears to not moved onto…
Thanks for sharing your view. My main point and problem is that the movie covers too much, so can't go deep. But let's talk about Yuka: I didn't blame her for her love. I criticized the movie because the character of her and that friend don't make sense. Here is why: When he comes back from prison, she and the friend first don't want him close to themselves. This means that they are worried about the consequences of being with a 'murderer', as the society sees the guy. This is understandable, as she and the friend have their families to take care. But then they changed their mind and even began to do everything they can do for him. And this is understandable as well, because she is his lover, and he is his best friend. But then the problem arises, which is not the man's fault. In fact, he does his best to begin a decent new life. My problem starts here: why do they abandon him? They are 2 mature people, and they showed before that they were aware of the possibility of unwelcome consequences. But they treat him as though he just did something terrible. I don't get this part. As a lover, I expect her to keep showing her love, maybe moving to another city together. And as for the friend, his behaviour is even more inconsistent (and ridiculous in fact). If someone is to blame for that photo, it's that friend who let the guy take the photo. However I don't think anyone is to blame, as in our time, it's so natural to see these things to happen. And Yuka and the friend can't be unaware of this. Sorry for the long response:)
It seems like I'm the only one who doesn't find the sisters' toxic relationship funny at all. I've already watched…
You're not alone, in fact I found it really insulting full of terrible moral (immoral) lessons. I'm gonna put the director and screen-writers' names in my blacklist:)
Thanks for the review. Totally agree, and I can add that as someone who was in a similar situation, I found this series insulting, full of wrong moral message, like that other people come and go, but your family is always there, so accept them as they are. Overall, abuse is not something to laugh, something normal, something to bear with a smile.
I'm not saying this was a bad drama but their way of killing him was just unrealistically amateur... Now seriously,…
Your point makes sense, but generally speaking, Japanese dramas aren't concerned with presenting a realistic depiction of things. What matters most is to convey people's feelings, thoughts, and so forth. The main thing about the killing scene is that they do it together in a way that each shares 50% of the whole. I think this was what the drama wanted to convey with the scene.
While I personally wanted to see an ending where she was with Yuzu (anyone else? ) and still friends with the…
I think the reason is that in this stage of her life, what she needs more is to grow her independent character, not finding a guy, so she still have things to do:)
As far as I can see, all people here are moved by this movie, though I'm not sure how and why. In any case, I don't get the message, that there is a meaning to every death, that if a 10-year-old kid dies, it has a meaning? I don't think so ... But maybe there is something else I'm missing.
