Oh no I agree with you about the mother. It's just that we can't really believe her, nor him or his sister. So there is a lot of uncertainties. Whether what she said is true or not, she's still a crappy mother. I just hate it. She brings them to this world. Their dad turns out to be a sick bastard, what do you do, you discard them and start anew?!

Unless she didn't tell him, and he found out later. Or unless he didn't want the child born.

But not their daughter, not to die in this way. Then again, in that world, maybe she's better off dead.

I edit for such articles! Such a Gem!

And yeah I think it really depends on where you are in life. When I read what makes a mediator I still feel connections, but I guess my priorities changed.

When I did the test a long time ago I got Mediator but when I did it recently I got Defender.

Btw I had such a blast reading your article! It’s such a fresh way to look at Drama characters.

Agree the ex-bf story made no sense!

I enjoyed here what we seldom see in modern Japanese drama, which is chemistry between characters. However, As much as the first half was enjoyable, the second half didn't make sense to me. The last scene was sweet but didn't make sense with me.

Didn't even know about it! Thanks, I'll check it out :D

No I agree with you on that point. I just thought it'd be more interesting to explore what had happened. However it felt her going for him was keeping her from going forward. But going for that nurse felt like going backwards XD kiddin'

Yup agreed about the lack of motivating factors. Basically they all felt forced. Ryuko had some chemistry with Koishikawa and their relationship felt more interesting.

What I liked most here is how Tendo to Nanase wasn't the end goal but the motivation. It adds more to the character than just being dreamy about her prince charming. Her life does not depend on his whim. Her life depends on her actions and life choices. And that was also how Tendo expected her to be.

It's a light, fun to watch with likable characters drama. A friendly working environment that does not exist in real life. Still heartwarming to watch. The side stories the first couple of episodes were fun. The characters that came later on just to make the leads' life harder were completely useless. The events the last 2 episodes made no sense. The main couple didn't have much chemistry. The 2nd couple was worse.

That is why I always hated that story. I only watched the Japanese version but I hated it. This guy is supposed to be the antagonist not the male lead! In reality this relationship would either end badly or continue until Makino loses her mind.

All those around me are either not into TV or too close-minded to try watching something from a different culture.

Have you ever seen "It Started With a Kiss" & the sequel "They Kiss Again"? It's the older Taiwanese version of and probably the best version (in my opinion). It's also one of those rare cases where I preferred the sequel over the first season.

And maybe Mo Jun Jie and his grandma, but otherwise yeah it's as if they are non-existent. I've been thinking of that like halfway through the drama.

Yes, those two! They are legendary in my view :D

It started interesting but the characters ended up the same stereotypes. Female characters are especially underwhelming. Still a fun and easy watch. I‘m satisfied with Harumi’s reasoning for getting in the middle of all of this.

I liked her too but I agree. It could have something to do with the setting and era.

I agree about the actress playing boon yi in SFD but I wouldn’t write off ALL female characters in the drama there has been a few I really liked.

Interesting! Alrighty I look forward to finishing it. Whenever I can steal time xD

Is she the antagonist though?
