Taishi Miwa

Big fan of the decision to choose "The light we cast" as the localized title rather than having "a vote from galaxy".

What I love about this drama is that almost every major characters in this drama are suicidal, yet both leads really "cast the light" onto their life despite bearing the same pain too. The social issue that writer-san brought up to this drama is a lot more realistic compared to Jerk salaryman. This is my sleeper hit of the season.

Also shout out to Noro Kayo, hopefully they don't typecast her as comedic relief after this. Really suitable for human drama.

almost the same, just re-edited a bit.

There are 3 possibilities:

-Haru is killed, the brothers committed suicide (most popular, and my preference too)
-Haru is killed, the brothers turned themself in. The dinner scene is obviously a dream (closure) and the scene involving Haru and the brothers in the harbor are flashback. Since black cinematic bar in the drama means flashback.
-Haru is shot, not killed considering the amount of blood shown, and life goes on.

WHAT AN ENDING

Shame that they didn't make this with a Sunday drama budget.

I feel like they wanted to give Ryo an ashita no joe/the wrestler treatment during creative process, but since Fumito is the main lead the went with this instead.

The writing feels like it was meant to be centered around Ryo with Hitoka as the second lead.

from recent updates Blue Walker and Jamin going to be replaced by new actress. Iinuma Ai due to agency change, while Jamin actress is getting older.

While Miyashita Kyoko and Tanapak Jongjaiphar is the key new addition. Most likely their character is exclusive for the first cours.

Agreed. If anything, they should've pull "The Wrestler" ending (cliffhanger) in the final episode. But probably due to Gotetsu (Shinichi) being the main lead, they can't.

That Final arc is insane though

Jun was dating Yukie until they wrapped up the first season, it seems that they broken up in a bad terms.

So if that's Eito on Neo's body, why a such kindhearted person become a much more ruthless person like that?

This is so damn good for a HTB production, man wish they have a budget to make it on a bigger scale. Both leads and the script have so much potential.

The plot hole in the drama is the point they're trying to sell, to get people to buy the game. But I agree that this is a bad form of marketing lol.

PSA: Watch in production order (1-2-0-Reunion-Requiem) to avoid some major spoiler. For some reason MDL have policy to put it on canonical order.

Hard watch

He trying to pinpoint / always be the first one to brought up that Tsuda is the troublemaker. But on the other side, it seems that they will go with "politician/rich people bad" route.

My bad, episode 5 kinda told us that it's like 6 month-ish before the first episode.

I feels like the scientific explanation needs an extra effort to be translated.

More/less a month before the first episode.

OG Eito died because of saving Sarasa. If he's alive, he's probably crippled/braindead.

But if current Kosei is actually Eito AKA bodyswap, OG Eito is as dumb but kindhearted as everyone else (except Sarasa) on that shopping street. How come he can be confident in making such decision (Global Warming product/2016 US presidential election)? Also we see that current Kosei is also a d*ck, clearly the opposite of OG Eito. I'm more into the idea that we have 2 Kosei in this new timeline.

The thing is that Eito is already dead in the pre-timeslip timeline.
