Through 96 episodes and it is very good (all aspects). Assuming this was a morning drama series, thus, appropriate for all ages, it's slightly more adult oriented than many other asadoras I've seen (about 12 total so far). Once again, it's confirmation that asadoras are my favorite Japanese format/delivery although I've seen many very good movies and normal length (shorter) drama series.
No, I didn't- moved on to others. To paraphrase- I think it was Frank Zappa who said 'So many books/movies, so little time' If you completed it, how'd it go for you? Best regards
The Bad: if you are not suited for constantly screeching character dialogues (rich boy's mom and the grandma) then you may want to avoid this family oriented, slightly romantic, comedy (not much was actually funny) melodrama. Contemplating dropping this one at episode 9-2, just after the revealing episode, 9-1. The good: the story, the plot, it's branches and twists. the acting of the sight-challenged FL and the child actor who portrayed Bom also was delightful
It was average at best. Pacing/communicating just too slow most of the time so it was good that it was only four episodes. Its difficult to watch a drama where so many people make so many bad choices. Once again, I'm perplexed at how the police function- hope it's not like this in real life!
Enjoyed it very much. All in all, well made and acted. Arikawa is always a fun talent to watch as well as the senior actors who are stalwarts in the industry
While I'm enjoying this one through 4 episodes some of the actions of the characters, dialogues and interactions between characters are a bit amateurish (even for 2008). Not sure if it's the writing, directing or actor interpretations. Could be that cultural differences are at play again, like so many Asian movies and dramas this westerner has watched (not intended to be derogatory). I'll certainly continue because these real-life dramas keep you interested on some levels
agree with others here- the cast and acting are really good (except i did not like the character of Won Seok). while i understand the need to invent drama- the good is that the writing didn't veer off into juvenile angst, but the over complication of adult relationships was a bit overdone. overall, a pleasant watch which i sailed through consistently- rated at 8.0
that short banged, short necked bob is ugly with a capital U. maybe it fits the character but not the eye test!…
DNF at episode 5. we lose approximately 500M cells a day. i bet i lost an extra few billion sitting through 5 episodes! in all fairness, i'm simply not the audience for this work of bodily parts art. that said, the acting/voice acting were well done
that short banged, short necked bob is ugly with a capital U. maybe it fits the character but not the eye test! anyway, it doesn't take away from the fact that i've always enjoyed Go Eun's acting prowess
Done with episode 2. Will they actually (ever) perform some music as a quartet before the final episode? Yes,…
Well, they did finally play a little music. This drama might be good for pre-teens, but it's just too annoying for this adult. Dropping it during episode 6 and I'd rate it at 5 or 6.
Done with episode 2. Will they actually (ever) perform some music as a quartet before the final episode? Yes, I agree what others have said: the writers really wanted a stupid FL (naive nun is an understatement!)- I don't blame the actress or actors for not so funny attempt at comedy
good fun, good music (when it mattered most!). i'm officially in love with the bass player or was it the trombone player with glasses? anyway, the keyboards guy was one lucky dude!
Let me get this straight- man's business fails. Man leaves wife and child and totally disappears for 10 years, says he'll be back in 10 years. Wife and son don't seem to mind at all and say he keeps his word. People say what a kind and thoughtful man he was. Man returns as if it was no big deal. Wife and son act as if it was no big deal. I'm home. Welcome home. All is well. Throw in a piano, some songs and some art and all is well
Even if it's a bit too-cute historical, sci-fi fantasy, the writing, pacing and characters are very good with no excessive immature angst or goofiness. The story, although simple, is plotted tastefully, albeit, no surprise endings. The current rating of 7.8 is probably fair, give or take.
Contemplating dropping this one at episode 9-2, just after the revealing episode, 9-1.
