Well directed and well acted drama , I love the calm nature of miyabi and the interactions however there are two…
I think it's more that you don't like the character rather than the actor, which is an important distinction to make and a fair opinion.
The actor plays the role exactly the way he's written and also the way he's portrayed in the original. He's the manifestation of a certain feeling that many doctors, including the original author have, which is also why this character and the actor's portrayal is especially well-liked among doctors.
Nobody knows, even her friends or family, that she was engaged?She is supposed to be a neurosurgeon but she is…
This drama might be challenging for some people because it doesn't telegraph everything like most other dramas. It's one of its greatest charms. :)
Why do you think she was actually engaged? :) And if she was, for how long? :) From all the interactions we've seen so far, it must have been a very short period of time (if at all), especially since she remembers everything until 6 months before her accident. And it's also safe to assume that they weren't together (anymore) when the accident happened. At least that's my understanding. Most of it can be read between the lines, though.
Why do you think she wasn't curious? Remember, it's been 1.5 years. That's plenty of time to accept your situation, move on, and develop a routine. She did say that she was afraid of getting her hopes up again(!) only to be disappointed again(!). So yes, she probably did her own research early on (to a limited extent due to her memory impairment) and then decided to move on with her life. She's extremely skilled and a quick learner, sure, but, her own knowledge doesn't exceed that of other people, especially Professor Osako, whom she trusts 120%. He's also the reason why she became a doctor, so why doubt him? And who's to say that she didn't see her own scans and got a detailed (yet distorted) explanation of her situation from Professor Osako? Remember, all this would have happened 1.5 years ago, not recently. Imagine all the things that could have happened in that time.
As for the pictures, well, I've never seen her with a phone or camera (other than the Polaroid for her diary), and there are no pictures in her apartment. Maybe she's just not the kind of person who takes pictures. Sanpei doesn't seem to be the type either. Maybe he just has the one picture they happened to take during the trip. That wouldn't be too far-fetched. The drama is also about the present. Pictures represent the past. It could be a thematic choice to enhance the message. :)
Maybe we'll get some clearer answers to some of the questions towards the end, but I wouldn't be surprised if we don't.
Anterograde amnesia, or memory resets of varying degrees, seems to be a very complex topic with many things that…
The note-taking and speed-reading is exactly what real life people with that kind of amnesia do though. I guess you need a system to mark what it is important and what's not. I mean, I can't remember shit half of the time myself, lol.
does sleeping at night sort of reset her memory or is there an imaginary clock in her head that does that when…
Anterograde amnesia, or memory resets of varying degrees, seems to be a very complex topic with many things that still cannot be explained. In some extreme cases it resets every 30 seconds, and in some cases it resets every time they sleep. It's possible that she could stretch her day, it's also possible that dozing off for a second could already reset her memory. I'm surprised they didn't give us a little more detail. She must have tried it at least once, right?
Thanks! :) Definitely some valid and fair points. It's unfortunate you didn't warm up to the lead actress, her character, or both, but I guess everything else was good enough (minus the music) to get you to finish it and give it a pretty decent score regardless.
Forgot to post this for EP05, but yeah, EP05 and EP06 are now both subbed, which means the whole season is now complete. I hope you've enjoyed this adaptation of a great and dark manga.

This is the start of something special. :)

AI pre-translated stuff throws me off more than it helps.
