Hotaru no Hikari (2007)

Drama is quite interesting. Story and direction are questionable. Corrector of main female lead Amemiya Hotaru feels like she fell in love of home or can say veranda, than main male lead Takano Seiichi. Takano Seiichi is in his 40s, the divorce, mutual understanding between lovers lack makes sword without edge.

Drama lacks in story, production, comedy, office drama, dialogs and direction. It has plain worthless flavor. Although actors bring there best to up-stand the drama. It is one time drama to watch. Also supporting actors and actresses hold drama to there best. They deserves appreciation for their hardship.

For the most part I really liked Hotaru no Hikari. It was funny, touching, and refreshing. The story is unique and I laughed a lot while watching it. I only have a couple of problems while watching the drama.

First of all, it was slow at a couple points. I felt like it was dragging and wasn't always motivated to watch it. Usually I'm dying to watch the next episode of a drama, but this wasn't always that case with Hotaru no Hikari. My other problem was the second male lead. His character was stiff, and even though he was a nice guy, I just never found him very appealing.

Other than that, I really enjoyed Hotaru no Hikari. The main couple had great chemistry and they were very funny together. I really liked their interactions and relationship. Actually, for the most part, I really liked all of the characters' chemistry. Everyone got along really well and it was a refreshing feeling for a drama (usually there's one evil character that you want to murder).

The music didn't stand out too much to me, but it was cute and enjoyable.

Overall Hotaru no Hikari was a cute and relaxing drama that had a very unique feel to it. Despite the problems I had with it, I really enjoyed watching it.

Second time attempting to watch, Dropped Halfway In

The first time I wasn't in the mood, the second time I was getting some laughs in and enjoying it a bit. I found the FL to be goofy and charmingly funny with the ML a nice support.

However, my problem is, the show doesn't go anywhere fast enough, it wears itself out and the FL that keeps messing up on her romances, it's funny at first, but you eventually start to agree that indeed, she suits the name she gave herself, Ahomiya, which is a play in her name, aho means dumb.

Too slow paced with little outcome that wears on your patience.

Quite sad because I honestly wanted to enjoy it this time around, but started zoning out too often and gave up. I really thought I would be able to watch it all the way through too.

Долго я сидела над открытым постом, думая что написать. Странное какое-то впечатление оставила эта дорама - скорее не понравилась. Немного удивлена, что ее признали лучшей в том году, потому что вторичность бросается в глаза: и сюжета и героев. Потом, немного "фи" скажу актерам, не главным героям, а второстепенным - второй парень, в которого влюблена Гг - какой то замороженный, играть вообще не старается Работники фирмы вроде ничего так, но сами по себе уж слишком назойливы, не фирма... а семья какая-то. Знаете, этакая неоправданная открытость, которая,в принципе, нигде на работах не встречается...
