I'm on ep 3 and the psychologist character is really on my nerves.
What's with the judgement/bias toward the victim? Just because he dresses as a woman? She sounds like she's stuck in Showa era. I can't stand this character at all.
Wtf. In ep 4, they went to visit the kid who might not be able to run anymore and she passed him the photo of him running playing football??? How insensitive is this chick? And earlier in the episode she insisted on her coworker that she is a counsellor. Maybe try to have some common sense first? Where the hell did they find this psychologist? Did Japan run out of professional to assist the police?
I finished the whole thing in 2 days. I really enjoyed it. The acting was great, as expected. I also loved the cameos from some well known actors. Honestly, I didn't have much expectation for this drama. I tuned in expecting some chick flick to balance my mood after watching a depressing series. I was quite impressed by how they didn't build the 2 main characters as perfectly good or perfectly evil. They have flaws, they have their good sides, and they also carry different traumas. Even some supporting characters are well portrayed. The nurse wasn't just an evil nurse, she was reasonable and supportive. The mother wasn't entirely bad either. I think I just enjoy the depth of the characters, since some could easily have been reduced to stereotypes, especially in this sort of drama.
Regarding the main topic of plastic surgery, I also quite liked their approach to each case they handled. The show doesn't just take a black or why stance. I'm quite pleased that they didn't frames plastic surgery as simply bad or present it as some easy fix for deeper issues like low self esteem or self pity. Instead, it shows how the reasons behind each decision vary from person to person and how people process and cope with those issues in their own way. Though I wish they would've made it a bit clearer about the cases involving addiction.
Another thing I appreciate is that Lily, Rin's partner, wasn't just a wallflower. She didn't appear much, but you could see she was a solid pillar of support for Rin. The fact that their relationship was portrayed without any drama around it was also a nice touch.
This is so cute and healing! Love the dynamic friendship between the 3 of them and the curries using local ingredients! Really hope they would do another season of them going up North to Hokkaido!!
Amazing drama. It's been a while a drama leaves such impression on me, it was so unsettling. It feels like a 6 hour long movie, the production was outstanding, the acting was excellent. Each case makes you wonder whom the disaster would fall upon. I was skeptical about the ending but now I reckon it's the best way to wrap up this series, it's creepier that way.
The first 5 EPs were so good I couldn't stop. Then I realised they tried so hard to push Nagisa-san with Mei. Everyone would be asking him what his feeling for her is, even though I see no other chemistry between them rather than "mother and daughter" lol. She has more chemistry with the other guys though. It's weird.
I enjoyed this more than Season 1, though some parts were questionable and the writing was a bit naive. Good to see Ichihara Hayato back! Is the ending suggesting another season?
So nostalgic watching this. I love Rika and was absolutely frustrated with how the rest of the characters being all indecisive and messing things up. The story is a lot more realistic, if it were a manga, it would be classified as Josei instead of Shoujo haha. The ending isn't something I'm happy with but it's pretty much aligned with everyone's personality. I love 90s dramas, no excessive filters, no spotless makeups. Rika's outfits were so cute too.
I couldn't finish it. At ep 6 I already bawled my eyes out and couldn't continue. Waited almost a month to have the guts to finish the whole drama in one go. My face is a mess from crying now.
Eiji's acting is definitely lacking, the story is dragging and ridiculous, would a big hospital just let anyone who has no experience in medical field being their chairman lol? Ryo is the only one who can act among the main characters. And then they put that loud shitty ending song that makes the drama feel like a romcom action drama instead.
I tried so hard reaching ep 8 but I think I'm at my limit. Dropped for now. Anyone else finish it please spoil the ending for me? 🙏
It's getting better I swear, I wonder why people are sleeping on this.
I don't know I thought the first few episodes were great and I was hoping for some sort of development. I just get annoyed at the useless husband and annoying son toward the end. How is this considered good?
Her excuse for not signing the divorce paper was so forced and unnatural.
Is this the one you mean? I just ran Shazam while the video was running.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBfrAIY6jGU
I think they mean the ending song in English which has the lyrics shown while the track was on. Couldn't find it after a year...
What more can we do?
Floating like a stone up in the air Stillborn a word lies unspoken Secrets of success never shared Though the clocks are wound time is broken Sisyphus lifts love as a gift To lay at the feet of bespoken Loves Hoping someday up on that hill they will take it before it comes down and then they don't he sighs again he tries again he's seen it all but then What more can he do? What more can he do? What more can he do?
