the only memorable villain to me is mishil. the rest are very cliche and uninteresting. but majority of the time a villain is a secondary character and we're not watching to see them anyway
that picture is the wrong girl.... her name is Sakuraba Nanami. she was in runway beat, boku to star 99 no nichi, etc. look it up. same picture on both pages lol.
i watched it without subs so maybe i didn't understand everything... at the end when she was in front of kosuke again, was she a real human this time or was that another girl who just looked like mao? i think it was her since she had the ring he gave her...?
there were too many events they have to cram into this 2 hour movie. you don't get to see the struggles and emotions oshin really goes through.... they just have a quick 30 second summary of most parts. <br /><br />they didn't show how oshin desperately wanted to go to school and learn, or how her grandmother went without food so oshin wouldn't have to be sent away. in the series her family lived in an awful dirt floor hut, while the movie has them in a pretty nice tatami mat house. definitely watch the series if you're interested in oshin
i'd like to see nana as a drama, although we did get a movie on it already. so we're not totally missing out (except for the later parts of the manga...which is still unfinished D:)
Man I don't know, shouldn't they wait until Miki grow up a little or at least reach 18?
i don't think they're even going to show any intimate scenes. i mean this is a j-drama... but i'm glad they're filming right away while it's fresh in the mind. it looks weird sometimes when characters aged too much in a sequel
