This was quite the movie, I feel like I watched 2-3 different storylines with converging characters. It was interesting at the least but I wish there was more character development or an ending that gave closure to each character's problems, oh well.
This drama was pretty good! It was about a high school counselor who high school students confided to even though at times many of them had to be encouraged to seek help for their problems. Nakatani's character was interesting (although I much prefer her character in 'It's Not That I Can't Marry, But I Don't Want To'), and the last few episodes got pretty intense. There are no subs, but you can watch the raws here: http://putlocker.io/watch/x4lJDYox-r-17/episode-1.html
Although I'm not a huge fan of J-movies, I decided to watch this bc of Fujiki Naohito. It was actually really good! I watched it randomly one afternoon and I was pleasantly surprised at how well the plot was executed, as well as how sensual the scenes between Fujiki and Nakama were. Definitely worth the watch!
This was such a good and refreshing drama, the last episode had a very good message for the story overall. Plus Ishihara's fashion in each episode was so stylish, definitely worth the watch!
And I wanted her to end with Tako, but I understood that the flow of the story ment that she needed to date Yukito,…
I actually disagree; typically j-dramas have the audience dying to see the two characters get together but this drama had so much personal growth for each individual character. Was it wrong for Etsuko to want to focus on her career and success first before putting herself in a relationship when it was obvious the two will last because they've been supporting each other so much from day one? They will obviously remain close *because* they are attracted to each other and willing to support each other in the future.
I honestly feel that j-dramas these days are doing a better job at being different and relatable instead of the typical cliche.
Soo many inconsistencies with the manga/anime that this movie made me wonder if anyone had recently watched Death Note before starting the production... everything was messy and random. The cinematography was phenomenal and I love Masahiro but this movie did not do Death Note any justice... lmao the prequel (for this particular movie) and even the 2015 drama were better made
Obviously this is not an spectacular drama or anything, but since the episodes are short and there are no English subs at the time I would recommend this to people as listening practice if they are learning Japanese and are pretty fluent!
Nice, enjoyable drama, it was short and sweet haha! I watched all episodes in one session. For those who love Aibu Saki, here's another chance to see her acting as a main character :)
Wow, the writer(s) really screwed up with this one, Takeru says it's the first year anniversary of the monster's…
Thank you for this comment, I was debating whether or not to watch it to see how Ogurin and Eri were doing, but you saved me from wasting time watching this BS; how could they even think about his anniversary (and visiting the grave on top of that?!)
The damage that monster did was unforgivable, even if he did kill himself -_-
She is such a fantastic actress!! I first saw Ueno in Nodame Cantabile which was awesome, Ouroboros and just recently Last Friends! I couldn't believe it was the same person, now that's how you she's skilled in her art ♡
Michiru is the epitome of annoying... everyone was doing everything they could to protect her but she wanted to be dumb about it, I couldn't even feel bad for her when Takeru found her with the eye mask on. I'm still on episode 6 but I will say superb acting by Ruka and Takeru, best characters of the whole drama
Damn.... that last episode had me shook! This was a pretty good drama, took many twists and turns and had me clicking "Next Episode" every time. I feel like everyone is a bit harsh on Aki, I think her character was fitting considering the situation (in Japan, amongst many judgy mothers, etc)
