This is a game where everyone has their own missions and tasks. What you did in the game has nothing to do with…
There's no Jin Woo's body because he is hiding in instance dungeon (another dimension). He is using the instance dungeon to save himself from being deleted by Emma. Jin Woo did reset the game so the game no longer has errors but he is hiding BEFORE the game was reset. It took around 13 hours for the game to reset and he was hiding before that after Emma stabbed him with the Key of Heaven. Since he hides in another dimension before the game was reset, and the game was later reset, that is why he is stuck in the game.
Okay, am I the only one who was deeply dissatisfied with the final couple mix? After the 2nd episode I really…
Ojiro and Airu have BFF type of vibe rather than romance. While Ojiro and Kairi suit more because of Kairi's mysterious nature and the only ones who could tame the wild O-chan.
9/10 - A really amazing drama in every sense of the way. I couldn't pinpoint what makes this drama so special but the plot and the chemistry is A++. A very rewatch material.
9/10 - Fun from start to finish. Tsuyoshi speaking in kansai-ben is everything. He's really hilarious in this role and the reason why he will always be #1 in my heart. ♥
8/10 - My first Jdramas eons years ago and remains special in my heart. I remember watching the ending basketball scenes repeatedly since I just love the ending song. Its only years later that I found it is sung by KinKi Kids and the rest is history. ♥
9/10 - A really fun and relaxing drama. You know the kind of laid-back drama that you love and wish it never end because you simply love the story and the characters? This is this drama to me.
I am under the impression that you can download the final episodes as well as encoded subs from doramax264 for…
Actually, this drama tackled the matter that disturbed you with such class. Its about wanted to change someone because they didn't represent their idea of perfection and the conclusion they come with it at the end.
Nojima Shinji is a great writer so he didnt follow the message or ending like the original novel. The ending was great and profound at the same time.
Does anyone have any idea what the other option was? his mother said if the person is sincere there is another…
The 3rd option will be the option that the writer left the viewers to decide on their own -- but one thing for sure, the 3rd option was implied as a happy ending for the two of them as Haruka looks optimistic when she thinks about it. My take is that she and the doctor will again come out with a new drug that is more effective that is why she is still working at the lab.
9.5/10 - One of the best written Jdrama that I have come across in recent years. The script is very thought-provoking…
For those who are confuse with the ending:
It was unfortunately implied in the drama that Sakuto lose all his memories of Haruka (before the surgery) and basically all his previous memory when taking ALG. He probably read his note and expect the crying girl is Haruka thus following it and ignoring her before turning back and give her the earring as the earring make him happy (as the old Sakuto always thrive to make people happy).
About remembering Algernon's grave, Algernon is his friend way before the surgery and he drew the map to his grave on his notebook. When the genius Sakuto bring the glasses guy to bury Algernon, he is burying Algernon at the warmest place in the forest from his memory as the old Sakuto. The old Sakuto is great with road and that place is probably one of his fave place on earth -- that is why him drawing the simple map to Algernon's grave making sense as he is familiar with the place (and his friends knew about the place as well).
And the fact that at the end he said back to God how he wanted to become clever all over again cemented this theory. Since he lose all his memory before taking ALG, he completely revert back to his old thinking of wanting to be clever again. If Nojima Shinji follows the original story and made Sakuto remember everything, then he will surely run away from everybody since the thought of remembering how he got genius and become disabled again is too much for anyone to handle (In the original, Charlie move away since he remembered everything thus making him embarrassed to meet anyone). So, when Nojima Shinji made him forget everything, he thus giving the story a happy ending on how Sakuto become happy all over again like in the beginning of the drama.
Plus, the drama's script is one of the greatest thing that made this drama so great. There are a lot of thought provoking scripts that question many things that involved our nature as a human. We get numerous times of the old Sakuto hating his disabled self and calling him baka but at the end, the genius Sakuto himself realized that the old Sakuto is not stupid at all and was genuinely happy as a person -- that his laugh is not as a defence mechanism. And with all those conversations, we learned how the old Sakuto has always been the reasons why everyone around him is happy. So at the end, we got exactly what it is implied throughout the drama -- the script is very consistent throughout.
And Haruka cant be together with Sakuto as he did not have the ability to love her as a women thus they are not together at the end. However, Nojima Shinji did give us the silver lining about those two by not disclosing what the 3rd option is. The 3rd option will be the option that he left the viewers to decide on their own -- but one thing for sure, the 3rd option was implied as a happy ending for the two of them as Haruka looks optimistic when she thinks about it. My take is that she and the doctor will again come out with a new drug that is more effective that is why she is still working at the lab.
For those you are unsatisfied with the ending, you guys need to understand on why Sakuto chose to save Rio instead of himself. Bear in mind that his nature is like his father, where they have this selfless attitude that like to help people. While Sakuto battled with the thought of becoming disabled again, Rio in the other hand risk of being unconscious her whole life. He knew that he will regret either decision but at the time, the more important thing to do is saving Rio as it is a matter of life and death for her (and in the process helping other people like Rio in the future to ensure that he & Algernon's existence made a difference) rather than a gamble of saving his intelligence where he explained that testing the ALG beta on another mice will get them back at square one.
9.5/10 - One of the best written Jdrama that I have come across in recent years. The script is very thought-provoking and deep and I'm actually surprised that all these amazing dialogs keeps popping up in each episode. Nojima Shinji has always love to touch the darkest subjects of human nature in his dramas and he did exceptionally well in here.
Yamapi did great in this role. I always admire that he's willing to shed his image and play this challenging type of role once in a while. He was convincing as a disable person and also convincing as a genius. I think I practically cried the whole way through the last 2 episodes lol!
10/10 - One of the very best Jdramas I have the honour of watching. A sad but brilliant ending at the same time. Tsuyoshi is amaaaaaazing in this role. He always act in good dramas in general but this one is his best. ♥
Just a note, the ratings for this drama was high when it was aired as it was written by popular writer and acted by 2 of the most popular idol actors at that time.
