This was such a nice movie!! All the characters are so lovable, old and new. I didn't expect Moe to make me the most emotional, but one of her scenes got me teary eyed in the theater. (': I'm still kinda hoping for a season 2 because I'm too attached to the whole cast, but if there isn't one, this movie is a really nice way to conclude the story. I was smiling so hard during the ending scene.
I wasn't that convinced after the first episode but this keeps getting better and better! Episode 4 was really emotional. Nao's character is so endearing. She really knows how to play a character that makes you want to root for her. I also love her and Arikino's dynamics.
I went to the premiere yesterday and the movie was pretty good. I do wish it had been a bit less about the romance and more about Yoshiki’s recovery but the setting was beautiful and the soundtrack too. Ryoki’s acting surpassed my expectations, especially during the emotional scenes. I really didn’t expect to cry ten minutes into the movie. 😂 I loved the scenes where he was repeatedly cleaning things and when they showed his routine when getting home. The way it was filmed made it so raw and you could really feel his distress. Overall I quite enjoyed it!
I literally stopped watching right after that scene. I feel like most writers wouldn't dare have a scene like…
I didn't mean that there's no SA. (Although I'm surprised about "tons of it", we're probably not watching the same dramas. That's my mistake, then.) I meant that it doesn't usually happen between the leads and is just brushed off five seconds later like nothing happened and we're not expected to keep watching and root for them to end up together after it happened. That's what I meant. You can show SA in dramas. My issue is when it's not treated like SA but just like a small thing that happened to get the plot going and the character who did the assault doesn't end up suffering repercussions.
Instantly got turned off by the first episode when garbage girl decided to molest Megumi in her sleep. Even if…
I literally stopped watching right after that scene. I feel like most writers wouldn't dare have a scene like this between a man and a woman (at least, not in the recent years) so I don't know why they thought it would be okay between two women... It's like the typical BL but in GL form.
I'm so glad I read your comment because I was so stressed to watch the rest of the series as I'm in the middle…
Haha you're so welcome, I'm glad it could help!! I'm going to be honest, I felt the exact same way at some point when I was watching the series because the writers did put too much focus on their relationship so I thought "they wouldn't dare, would they??" but I guess they were just trying to play with people's expectations. I loved what Ryo said in an earlier episode about friendships between men and women and there are SO many things about her character that I could relate to when watching so I'm really glad that they didn't go there in the end.
It's so funny to me how even during the last episode, watchers were still shocked and confused saying "what??? Ryo and Ritsu really won't end up together???" as if that wasn't the whole point of the series!! I believe she's expressed her lack of desire to be in a romantic relationship enough times throughout the drama and it's also literally in the title... It really wouldn't have made sense if after all of that, the writers had still chosen to make them end up together.
The best part of the drama for me was definitely the sisterhood. Seeing Duanwu slowly get closer to different women, gain their trust and even admiration, also all those scenes with the songstresses where they were just chatting and laughing together were so nice to see.
I’m really enjoying this drama!! The cases are all pretty engaging and also, I’m a sucker for duos with clashing personalities who end up working together.
This drama is (surprisingly) my current obsession. It wasn’t the one I was looking forward to the most when it was announced but it’s quickly becoming one of my favorites this season! I love everything about it, the Showa setting, the outfits, the leads’ interactions, the side characters too. Matsumoto Honoka is just perfect as expected and I have to say that this is probably the drama that made me enjoy Suzuka Ouji’s acting. This role really suits him. I can’t wait for the next episode!!
