This episdoe is the best so far

So this is my 3rd time writing this! Lesson learned: If you can to edit something on a review, first copy the whole thing, then press enter. Reason is, in case it gets wiped out, you can just paste it.

Now back to the drama. I just love this dorama. Its character driven and each character is so flawed in such an endearing way.

First of, the older brother Asahi is really the center of it all. Early on, he was put in the worst position anyone could be in. He had 2 choices: justice or survival. Either way its a burden he had to carry. One interesting moment in the episode is Azusa's mom telling her daughter that being a parent is when you don't have anyone to scold you, but instead you do the scolding. Its true to Asahi. I like that he refused to apologize for his decision. Putting him in that position, his siblings completely ignored the burden he carried all this time.

Except for Hikari. As expected, she is the most sensible of her siblings. If only she'd be more sensible to her situation. I really want her to leave that guy. His excuses are just that, excuses. Taking advantage of those siblings and their weakness is disgusting. You might find me judgemental, but I usually am with extramarital affairs.

As for Satoru, he really is the most complicated of the lot. He's self centered and selfish, but also heartwarming and loves his family. He couldn't stand living in injustice, so he ran away instead of sharing the burden. It is just easier to blame it on others than it is to accept some situation. But he comes back at it in a big way, accepting to go back to work to that same company. I think thats a big step of growth for him. Also calling his older brother Asa-nii just got me in AWE! I see so much bromance coming our way. I can't imagine anyone doing that role other than Eita.

Talking about bromance, the 2 Ototo's aren't missing any either. Sato seems mature enough to see through people. The fact that he recruited the girl that was about to trick his brother shows 2 things. He's a good judge of character, he saw through her façade and decided to give her a chance to use her skill productively; He's very passionated in what he's doing, maybe to a fault. The youngest Tadashi is your everyday baby brother. He's closest to his caring sister, and to Sato, who he depends on when he messes up. He's aware of how unfortunate it is it live without parents, but not too conscious how lucky he is to have such caring siblings. He's easily ashamed, like how he felt about his dad, and he ran away when things got to hard because of his brother's acitons. He still has a lot of growing up to do.

I wrote a lot again. Everytime it got deleted broke my heart but each time I start to rewrite, I just keep going. Its so entertaining. I just love watching dramas, and I love reviewing dramas I love.
