this guy is hot...

bad hair day……..but beautiful teeth and smile (when he uses it)

Stayed the course, must have been OK if it kept my attention over 16 episodes, but there were good patches and rather bad patches (including the oh-so-twee "7 years later" ending). And quite frankly I don't see as realistic the idea of heavenly matrimonial bliss for the leads, while also suggesting these two's bromantic love was so great. I got the distinct feeling - especially as it was the last scene - that the message was their brotherly love transcended even their blissful marriage partners. Which is it? Very confusing. Hope it was the latter.

Oh dear, is that the ABBA pop group from the 1970s?? you just put me off.

Long time, no see - worth watching for his smile alone. Hope to see more.

Long Time, no see - great acting, made it live. Handsome guy. Hope he has a good career ahead of him.

At last, no tragedy. Beautiful. Watch it!

Sweet, my only criticism is it's too short, I'd like to see how the story develops.

Based on Mishima's Spring Snow (春の雪, Haru no Yuki), first volume of his tetralogy "Sea of Fertility". Having read it, the novel starts out promisingly, the historical background is highly interesting, but can pall a bit later, and the ending is problematic. Still, he was a great writer. That's why it's probably a bit over the heads of certain reviewers here.

49 episodes?! he only lived for 30 years

As at ep. 3 the veoh picture quality is sadly very poor. Very charming and "tasteful". Setting is nice. I would not say Shiina Kippei is exactly "very handsome" whatever his other talents. Takizawa Hideaki gives a whole new dimension to the English slang expression "stuffing your face". Can be quite funny, especially the caption "comments" on what's going on inside their heads. As I've watched I really like this series and it has been worthwhile sitting though some very poor filming but ep 8 just ceased half way through. It's such a pity a decent recording does not seem to be available but it's become virtually impossible to watch until last three episodes. Ten out of ten for the series itself and the actors.Very neatly wrapped up. Lovely story. If you like things a bit sentimental, you'll like this.

sounds like Lord of the Flies or Lost, haven't watched yet, is it worth it?

should really have spoiler alert but as that's a nice photo it doesn't really matter:)

that's ok, each to his own opinion…...

Quite good looking, obviously has more stamina making these 20 and 30 episode marathons than I have stamina in watching them to the end

did you mean 5 years or 5 months?

Hi,

There was a problem getting Episode 4, so I had to use elsewhere, you could probably find it on youtube.

I haven't noticed much censorship of violence - in fact violence in Korean thrillers is way over the top imho. If it's that bad and it's been censored, I gulp to think of what the uncensored versions are like. But I'm against any censorship, so I vote there's too much anyway. Free speech (should) rule.

Thanks. I just finished Voice not long ago, so feel a bit saturated with medical dramas but will look at it as you recommend.

That photo doesn't do him any favors, much better looking in goblin
