It was a pretty lighthearted and entertaining movie. I really liked Inoo Kei as Kairi, I think his casting was spot on. I specially liked the credits part it was very cute ♡
Ogurin Shun is one of my favorite actors, love him since HanaDan, and as you say almost everything he's in turns out to be an excellent drama. This year Crisis was very interesting and I really liked his character.
Up until ep 10 - 12ish I felt like this drama is awesome and all but not making it into my ultimate top list yet.…
I agree with you up to episode 12 it was an excellent drama (rate it 9.5), but it lost some steam at the last 4 episodes (that's why the final rating is of 8.5 for me). Nevertheless still a very good drama and I do recommend it.
I'm a huge fan of HYD and I have watched every remake they have made, and I'll probably watch this new one. But sometimes I think It will be better to leave this story to rest, since there are so many remakes already and the Japanese version is outstanding. But well, I'll still watch any remake they made.
What do u think they think the ending meant? Did Maria love kouhei or did she just wanna keep him with her till…
I think the writers wanted to leave it open for us, but if you think about it it didn't really works because if she really wanted the inheritance she could have kill him any time, and being the widow everything would have gone to her eventually, the only thing she had to avoid was a divorce. So I do think she love Kouhei but at the final episode the writers wanted to manipulate us and had "another plot twist" but it wasn't that convincing.
