PENTHESILEA
Greece
Great Story with many Buts
Iam falling really fast down the Rabbit Hole which called JDramas and i love it!
So far,one way or another,,iam rarely disappointed by them.
The fact that usually are few episodes,makes it easier to watch as many as i can.
So to begin with,i have to say that i do recommend this one.It is indeed a great story,a combo of Prison Break and Two Weeks.2 Dramas i totally love!
A story with a really fast pace,great acting,amazing characters,many tears,heartbreaking and heartwarmings moments and lots of running!
Ichihara Hayato is excellent in his role,i loved him in Karamazov no Kyodai,who was equally great there too.
As for Suda Masaki,he never disappoints, he is such a baby here!Really young!A talented actor!
But,what we say a scene stealer,is no other than the little girl,Sakura!The absolute star of this show!Incredible,natural acting,captures your heart in a flash!And believe it or not,this character is one of the most mature ,played by a child.
Her lines weren't easy nor shallow.And she delivered all.I wish i will watch her in the future again.
The bond and the friendship which developed between the four main leads is awesome.From their road trip through the country to all the Kms they ran(lol)they shared some amazing moments and this came to me,so easily,i felt part of their team.
As i said many tears.Too much crying from our Mls,but once for a change,this didn't really bother me,as usual.Iam not a Melo fan,but watching 4 gorgeous men crying so much was really something!
And now is time to talk about all those buts..Without them i could easily give a 9 or more but...Yes many flaws,many plot holes
and unfortunately even more unrealistic and unreasonable details ruined the better score i wanted to give.Because i really really loved the story.Actually i gave 7,5 not for the story itself,as the frame was excellent,but mainly for the plot and the development.
It is not uncommon in Dramas for the Police to be incompetent and totaly useless.It is rather the standard portrayal.Combine this with the standard corruption in the Top Hierarchy and voilà!It couldn't be a decent Drama otherwise!Lol.
But here..they took it to another level,seriously.Everyone from the police must quit his job because i havent watched so lame,useless poicemen and detectives before.
Either way,my only advice is to turn a blind eye to all these.Ive learned my lesson too well with other Dramas too,so i do not let the "bad" details to prevent me from enjoying Dramas which i have to throw out of the window my sanity and logic.
After all is not science.Is entertainment.Let the cops being lazy and lame.Let the heroes be heroes and get their Happy Endings.This one was one of the few Dramas i really wanted the protagonists to live happily ever after!
Trust the good actors and follow their works.90 out of 100 you will find really good Dramas,worthing your time.
