a beautiful sensitive film about love blossoming between two guys in a country setting far from metro hyperactivity〜though I do wonder how the relationship would be seen by the country community ーmaybe that is for the sequel？ we are now quite accepting in Tokyo of GL but I don't know about country areas so much。 kudos to Furukawa and Ryusei for fine acting。 this is debut of directing of Inoue Ryuta and promises well for the future。 the writing by Sato Kumiko was to me sensitive and well judged。I loved the wide angle lingering shots of the rugged countryside of Chikuma and Ueda where the film was set
very well crafted movie but seriously you only get as many holes and coincidences as this in quantum mechanics 〜too violent for me but with bizarre rays of sunshine in the first 5 minutes and the final 1 minute maybe stretching neat plot construction beyond credibility 〜I prefer to think of the start and finish as a nicer parallel universe to take my mind off the darkness 9/10 for slick production and direction
very sensitive excellent BL drama set around love triangle〜 dragged a little in middle then better towards end and surprise ending〜production not always smooth and cuts too sudden、 maybe ending rather rushed and english subtitles not so good 〜but I felt it was excellent genuine BL/gay drama and enjoyed it very much⁽ ¨̮⁾⁽¨̮ ⁾*˚‧♡
so many strands in the plot of this drama in episode 1 it is like a web〜 highly improbable but it is involving 三浦春馬「Fight for your heart」 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tk59JZRbtCQ
Miura Haruma、 Toda Erika and Takei Emi excel in good serious roles 〜this is a heavy drama but with wonderful gleams of brightness to light the way and stay with you〜 it may be hard for some to follow and some may find it sentimental rather than uplifting but it is worth sticking to it。
I think the English word is smutty but it is fun and very brave to include the gay theme in 2008 when even then I think Japan was more backward in accepting gay relationships.
on this I revise my view：do not look for real sci-fi ーany sci-fi element here disappears pretty quickly (except at the end) and it is really a slow but fun and homely drama with nice characters that also touches on some serious life issues as it goes on。 if you do not mind slow kind of youth drama and Japanese quirky provincial humor it is worth sticking with 9/10
the remote format is interesting but if you watch you will know they could not stick completely to this to explain the story 〜did not really work for me trying to follow talk between six people on screen although it became quite scary in second half but the ending was as I suspected but ？ what happened to Toru〜I go with average score on this 7/10
the first 「Hana Yori Dango」 I did not like〜as for this after some episodes looking beyond the nasty peasant hunting theme and developing more sympathy for the characters I like it much better
seriously weird show and becomes more so as it goes on but it did fasinate me〜first half seems serious rational mystery thriller but second half is completely weird ’supernatural’ with twists and turns and endings I am not sure if intended to be serious and chilling supernatural or comical 〜really becoming comical for me！it did keep me waiting to see what happens next almost hypnotically 〜good if you like this sort of drama and can tolerate the strange mix I would not completely dismiss it as ridiculous though it verges on it
just finishedー it was a long and winding road but very worth following〜 classic FANTASTIC MELODRAMA： the ending made me cry tears of happiness 〜‧⁺◟( ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ ·̫ ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀ )
