Excellent. Stylised Samurai epic ~~ crisis of end of Tokugawa era crossed with crisis in lives of warriors and tragic resolution. Typically this presents series of images with limited action including shots of flower representing beauty in transience, like human lives ~~ especially those bound by code of honour. This is NOT in tradition of "action" samurai movies. May be difficult for non-Japanese to appreciate, but similar to Greek classical tragedy. . Not great, but still cathartic. [I think now this available in English subs}.
Sensitive, beautiful movie about romance between hearing impaired girl and emotional boy both overcoming their own problems, showing fairy land in virtual world can cross over into real life. I defy you not to cry at the end ❣◕ ‿ ◕❣
This veers between being fun and just "smutty" or pretty sick [see episode 3]. It certainly is brave by referencing subjects like transvestism, gay play, sex parties. Mostly quite good fun.

I cannot praise this show highly enough. It has sci-fi, medical, saeguk intrigue and plotting, adventure and memorable characters all in one. The only (slight) disappointment was the Joseon ending, which left the story hanging in the air. I am really sorry to have finished it. Will almost certainly re-watch, like Black, with Song Seung Heon, one of the few I have re-watched with equal pleasure as first time round. I cannot understand the low rating on this series.
For those of you who'd like a synopsis. Please bear with the awkward grammar as I used a translating website,…

Morino Hotaru [ = Fireflyy] is a second year high school student who has had an unrequited crush on Otaka Ren since junior high school. One day, while on a school trip with Ren and her good friend Yamamoto Shiori, their bus gets into an accident. When Hotaru wakes up, a young man who is dressed fully in black appears in front of her. He is Kuro [ = Black guide of dead], a grim reaper. A shocked Hotaru shoves him away but he has shocking words for her, “I’m your guide. Morino Hotaru, listen carefully. You’re dead.” Hotaru learns that if she does not get over her attachment to three things within 49 days, she will end up becoming a ghost bound to a specific physical location and cannot rest in peace. She had slept for one month after the accident and has only 19 days left. And so, Hotaru sets out to settle the three lingering regrets with the limited time she has, in the company of Kuro. One of them is to confess her feelings to Ren, her crush of five years. However, when he is in front of her, she finds it impossible to tell him how she feels. As Hotaru settles her first lingering regret, dark clouds begin to gather over her and Kuro … …
Photo does not look like him in any of the roles I've seen…..and that's a few. Lot of heat being generated here over LMH's talents or lack of them, calm down boyz and girls, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I love the fashion values - and he has two Maseratis in different colors. As at ep. 2 more like "What's becoming of Mr Lee" ? As it develops, the reason the leads come together is highly far-fetched . Apart from that, which is contradictory to the light tone of the drama, this is a good mix of romance, comedy and mystery. It's not just the leads but all the characters in this show contribute to a great mix, really cheers me up. The romance towards the end still has original moments but for me gets boring. Could have been 2 or 3 episodes less imo, but the final episode was beautiful. Music very good. I could re-watch this in future, at least the first half.
How are you,
Thanks very much for telling me, I like bromance~~
