A light and fresh slice-of-life drama centered on classical music and friendship. Nakagawa Taishi as Rihito-kun was so adorable and Matsushita Yuki as Yukie so heartwarming :)
Fun, interesting, well-made and very enjoyable! Kudos for taking the time to fit such an original concept in drama-world characters! Looking forward to reading part 2 :)
One of the most intriguing, suspenseful, well-paced mystery / time travel dramas! Refreshingly original plot, well-written characters, excellent performances and cleverly orchestrated plot-twists. Highly recommended :)
Don't get me wrong, I have my fair share of likeable psychotic geniuses (see Bad Guys, Defendant, Voice), it's just that Oh Hyun Jae was not in my top list. But glad you enjoyed it :)
A heavily emotional slice of life - family drama, with stellar performances, especially from Mitsushima Hikari and Suzuki Rio, excellent music and cinematography. Painfully frustrating some times, heart-warming some other times, but definitely intense and thought-provoking, with amazing dialogues and (did I mention?) superb acting.
lol xD I should change my name to xingback loves beards xDYYS should atleast give us 1 modern picture of his beard…
Some men are gorgeous with or without beard and you, my friend, gave us some fine gentlemen as examples! And it's not silly at all! It's funny and entertaining :)
Whoever frequents the feeds knew from the first word of this artcle that you're the writer ;) Excellent writing and visual material, as always ♡ And, of course, Dong Mae is the best of all ;p One of the most entertaining articles I've read recently!
Bizarre, funny, sometimes nonsensical hilarious but without being stupid. The highlights were the handymen trio, especially Osada Masaki with his never-ending foolish delusions and misunderstandings, the real Guinness World Record of most snowmen built in 1h, and the magnificent snowy landscapes of Hokkaido.
Zekkyou is a drama not for everyone: it deals with solitary death, society rejection and isolation, raw emotions and actions. It’s dark, heavy, depressing, yet extremely captivating, with a strong, intense, well-written story and beautiful, mood evoking music. The characters’ portrayal and the acting are top-notch, especially the perfectly layered main protagonist, Yoko. Ono Machiko, with her subtle yet intense performance, superbly portrayed Yoko's inner struggles, misfortunes, rejection, frustrations and utter despair, her restraint while her emotions were slowly building up, her will to live and be accepted, her silent scream.
Unique, zany, intriguing, out-of-the-box story with a wonderful Kohinata Fumiyo! Heavy sometimes, hilarious at other times, but definitely a heartwarming drama.
"It's OK to be weak. ... Hey, Kita-san, you're okay just as you are.''
A bizarre, quirky, out-of-the-box story of seemingly unrelated and without any clear purpose scenes, which in the end centres around trust issues, misunderstandings and miscommunications, mainly between Yoon Young and her boyfriend, and the eventual breakdown of their relationship.
An entertaining comical time-travel story with an excellent bromance from Nishikido Ryo and Kamiki Ryunosuke and some not-too-subtle life lessons about the value of life and the importance of having strong moral principles and character integrity.
Subtle, humane, full of kindness, modesty and heartwarming life lessons about coping with traumas and mental illness, as well as the mental care and healing process of disaster victims. Powerful without being noisy or preachy, devastating without being emotionally forceful. Beautifully filmed and exceptionally acted, especially from Emoto Tasuku who delivered a stunning performance of a lifetime. A solid 10/10, an absolute must-watch! Thanks @HPriest for the subtitles of this wonderful story :)
