Watching the first episode I have to think again... "Why really GOOD jdramas are unpopular while BAD dramas are really popular in the island?" This one made some "success", right? Watching the first episode I can see some sign on why... and they're all bad signs.
The only problem this whole series has, the sole one, is that the writing insist on making Jun the protagonist instead of giving us more from other characters like Hotaru. We can praise how consistent the character is since the very beginning, but to "appreciate" this you have to endure him. I HATE HIS CHARACTER! He is a "bad person", how can he never learn anything, never improve! One of the most disgusting characters I met in fiction.
I'm watching now and very surprising, it doesn't "feel" old at all, it's very well made AND very well written. All episodes have at least one or two strong scenes, this drama was made with much care and love.
Intrigued by your comment. I also felt the ending was slightly off-place, but likely not for "Lynchian" reasons.…
I'm sure I wrote about it someone by I can't find where... now I can't remember all the details. Remembers the scene when one of her staff goes to her room and comments that he hear someone singing, I think? Asks if she was singing and she denies? Some people says that there's nothing really "wrong" with the story, that nothing strange was happening, she was just imagining and nothing more, that scene just meant that she was practicing to her audience when she was alone. But wasn't that maybe just a diversion? Instead of "proving" that there was nothing maybe, I say that perhaps that scene "proves" that she was doing things that even she wasn't aware, doing unconsciously. Get my point? Again, I don't remember all the details now, but strongly felt that something was wrong with her (not just with her attitude). The strange coincidences, the fire, her surviving boyfriend, the "monster", that mysterious sheep... was that sheep really there at the end? Was she really singing at the end or was just another fantasy?
Not that any of this means something bad, it can also mean something good, because in the beginning she was imagining just bad things, always fearful and distrustful. At the end this had changed and she was having much happier thoughts.
I need to watch it again someday, to check these suspicious and think more about if that story about the japanese soldiers have any special meaning.
This movie was disappointing. Starts well presenting Tsugumi with this evil like mindset, but soon enough we stop seeing her emanating that evilness and becomes and boring romance.
I still watching and I want to know, was this filmed all in one go (making it ignore the technology changes) or the episodes where at least partly filmed during various years?
What's her story? S many roles.
The second half contradicts the whole premise, what the heck the writer was thinking?!

Still recommend.

I can't "believe" that ending at all.
