MAY CONTAIN MINOR SPOILERS!!! Story: 6/10 Honestly, I came into this drama expecting something completely different! I was thinking this was going to be sort of a romantic comedy, or something more centered towards the growth of Yamazawa Norio and his time on earth, his growing appreciation for earthly things.. but it wasn't. It was more serious than that. It was about people/aliens coming from different dimensions and curing royalty... and then that's what I got. It got very technical towards the end. I don't know if the subs available weren't translated as well as they should be, or if the terms are just that confusing. The storyline was pretty original as far as I could tell. But then again, I don't watch sci-fi stuff so I guess I don't have much say on that. I thought some things were left resolved too quickly (or not resolved at all). The biggest thing that jumped out at my brain was the mysterious enemy.. and then either subs failed me or it was just bad writing. I think this drama was trying to do too much, then it forgot some things that it originally started out with. For instance, it was really funny the first few episodes, then it got super serious. Love was also put on a back burner. The flow or mood of the drama really changed, and I didn't like that so much. Visual effects were poor. But, it didn't detract too much from the story so I can't really complain. I liked the ending. I got my pairing, but only sort of. But knowing the future helps. I wasn't convinced that Midori will like xxx, but I'll give it a pass as I think time will help them. Acting/Cast: 7/10 I liked the cast a lot. I think what eventually got me to watch this drama was because Nakamura Aoi was in it. Everyone played their roles nicely. It did bother me a little bit when some characters disappeared for a while, like Kagawa Midori. She disappeared for a while from the story when the drama got all deep into the sci-fi stuff. The only thing that still bothers me is how Yamazawa Norio took advantage of the old guy who has dementia... and then kept mind-controlling him. But I'm glad they gave Ebara a happy ending. Music: 9/10 I pretty much liked all of the music in this drama. I watched this drama all in one go, so I can't remember every piece, but the music was beautiful. I especially loved the piano pieces, which really brought out the sweetness and innocence of the scene. The ending was an amazing song called Dream by Shimizu Shota. That was actually how I found this drama. I was listening to random jpop songs that would interest me, and the song was so amazing that I decided to watch the drama (after finding out from the comments that it was the ending for Nazo no Tenkousei). The opening was equally amazing, and it was actually sung by Sakurai Minami (who played Kagawa Midori, lead female role). The song was good, but I loved the opening video MUCH, MUCH MORE!! It was just AMAZING!! Paired with the music, it was just so creative and beautiful and a great work of art!! Rewatch: 6/10 Because my brain can't be fully comprehend all of the sci-fi terms in this drama, I just end up getting confused and checking out. For that reason, I gave it a 6/10. I may want to watch it again in the future now that I know what it's like, just to see the things that I missed. Overall: 7/10 It was overall a decent drama, just not my cup of tea. I wished I came in knowing what I was in for. Maybe then, I would've enjoyed it more. But oh well, I got my dose of Nakamura Aoi and I'm happy.
