I guess I was the only one unhappy with the ending of an otherwise wonderful drama. I would have preferred that Saki eventually fall in love and marry at some point in her life. It made me sad that she lived the rest of her life alone plus it kinda traps Jin into living the rest of his life alone or it will mean that his love wasn't as deep as hers... I hate that kind of thing.
Does anyone know: How this website works? And how i can start watching this show? Could someone help me please?
This website is mainly for keeping track of the Asian dramas that you have watched and to link you to dramas you might be interested in the future. If you are interested in watching a particular drama I suggest joining a streaming sight. Viki is a good one to start with because it has a pretty good library of older dramas like this one.
Is it really that bad? Yes. Yes, it is. I'm a fan of Rainie, Blue, and Johnny. These are three of the sexiest Twanianese actors out there who can actually act and even they couldn't save this drama.
Don't tell people to skip it just because YOU don't like it
Why not? If I think a drama/movie is a "must watch" should I not say that when I recommend it? As long as I'm not disrespectful I should be able to say why I think a drama is bad. I That's why MDL HAS a comment section. If someone LIKES remakes of 90's Japanese dramas or American daytime soaps they'll know that this drama is for them!
I was on the fence about watching this drama. The age difference was extreme and I couldn't see how the writers were going to make it work. In the end, I have to agree with the people who recommended this drama. It doesn't condone Teacher/Student relationships. In fact, I think it does the opposite. I have to admire Akira's mom for standing strong even when she understood that her son was the person who was the pursuer. It would have been easy to throw up her hands and say he's eighteen now just wait until he graduates and you can do what you want. She was very clear that the adult was supposed to act like an adult and say, "No.". I also liked how they showed another romance where the woman was in a position of power and where there could be some question as to whether the viewer would support the relationship.
You can tell this is part one of a two-part drama. I actually kept waiting for the next episode for a couple of weeks before I realized it was over... LOL. If it's on Netflix I guess I'm going to have to start waiting before I start any new drama for them to finish the 2nd part.
This is a modern-day Japanese version of the Story of Job. Our hero is a great guy living the good life, but is he really a good guy? That's the question this drama is all about. Think Trading Places only absolutely NO humor in this drama. The story itself was okay and the actors very good. Was it one of my favorites? No, but I don't regret watching it. If you have a free rainy day and you're trying to find a J-drama to watch you could do a lot worse than this drama.
I'm a fan of Jerry Yang but I think he was too old for this role. The drama would have been better served with an actor that looked young enough to be in college. On top of that, the female love interests looked super young... like they could have been cast in a high school drama young. As a result while I don't think this drama was bad, I think the Korean version was better.
You're all hypocrites. y'all weren't complaining about the age gap between the Count Your Luck Stars leads but…
For me it's not the age gap parse it's a balance of power issue. How the writers deal with it is what can make or break a drama/movie. In Secret Love Affair for example Yoo Ah In's character exercised a lot of power within the relationship.
