If you think this was stressful, watch Queen of Tears lol.

Thanks! I look forward to seeing more contemporary Japanese dramas. I know that the classics are out of this world. I do think LTL will be a classic. It’s an intelligent drama w a stellar cast and production team. Kudos to the director and writer. They paid so much attention to detail. The writer said she pictured a more sophisticated hat for kaouru. But the director thought they should be from a touristy seaside shop. Those simple hats also spoke to what the writer said when she wanted the leads to be ordinary people. I wish there were more detailed discussions on Reddit like is easy to find w mediocre dramas. The writer said she wanted to use symbols like the hat, pen, umbrella, etc.
Trains play a big role. In a later episode manami is running alongside the train. And when she calls Kaouru to warn him about her dad the red lights of the track are dinging. And in the latest episode, Dvorak’s “Going home” is playing. Erik Satie was in the background earlier in a cafe w Takawara .Such intelligent film making. Honestly I know we’re all saying it but it’s pretty hard to watch anything else after this one. It’s like going from a gourmet meal to Denny’s.

Maybe it's too soon for subs, but if anyone has the Spanish version of 9 yet, would love to see a link! (Or English, but seems like Spanish comes first usually) Thx

YesI I didn't even see dialog, but just watching them was so cute

thank you! I'm just waiting for the Spanish version lol then English, then NF in two weeks haha. Thx.

Thank you so much, it works!!

Okay I checked NF America already but I’ll check it again! Thx

Masaki Suda. The name should have been Hiiragi sorry, was naming by memory. Should have looked it up. I just saw it on someone’s list of good Japanese dramas. It’s a bit older. 2019

I'm trying to find Mr Hiiragi’s homeroom and cannot find it anywhere...not too many Jdramas anywhere even on Viki.

THANK YOU!

What did the club president say to Minami if you don't mind? And what did she write on the rooftop bench?

I agree! The last 5 minutes of them eating a cone lol. Can't wait for the next few weeks.

Do you know what it was Manami wrote on the bench that Raoul saw? Thx. I need to learn basic Japanese but it looks sooo complicated....but I'll try....

thank you for the explanation!

I wondered if govt support was part of it bc I did get the sense that a lot of it was sponsored by Korean gov. but didn't know for sure. Tx for confirming. Yes very hard to access and ridiculous NF is two weeks behind, that's just way too long to wait when it's only one episode a week to begin with... There are a lot of Kdramas and a lot of fluff lol. I need to see more Japanese current drama to compare. Thanks for response.

yay! Hope you enjoy!

what was it that she wrote on the rooftop bench? Oh I see you haven't watched it yet...thanks for sharing the link, now I can sleep at night haha.

Thank you thank you!!

This one has spoiled me for anything else. It's going to be really hard to find such a perfect storm after LTL

yes, a year or so back, I watched the housewife one where the woman cleans for the man and they end up married, and I'm currently also watching Our Marriage, and in college I watched classic Japanese Cinema which was incredible but the last few years only Kdrama.
