Welcome to J dramas HAHA.

I like his voice. Man has got screen presence too.

I remember going crazy for him when Fated to Love You aired.. how time flies. I realised I haven't seen any other movie / drama of his.

What a sweet little endearing film. Even though the leads only meet in the last few mins of the film, their connection was beautifully established. I do wish, though, that we got more of them together, rather than some of the side stories which did not add much to the film or the characters.

I don't care whether they end up together or not, as long both of them are happy and at peace :)

Wonder Egg Priority was nice! Give it a try.

I really hope he'll write a great drama again.

I don't know if it's just me but his recent works have been really underwhelming. Sad because he's one of my favourite screenwriters.

This was quite the surprise package! Teen angst captured in a unique and refreshing way that only J dramas can achieve. I wish it was longer.

The best part of this story was that we got different stories of who the men thought Ritsuko was, but never truly found out who she was.

"What kind of a woman is Ritsuko?"
That question sums up this drama.
A compelling tale of a woman who was broken by society time and time again, with a fantastic performance by Matsumoto Marika.
Highly recommended for those who like dark, psychological stories with some forbidden romance.

I don't think so.

She delivered a fantastic performance in Mukou no Hate.

The ML is actually a decent actor. I'm pretty sure he is being cringey in this ON PURPOSE. His acting is not meant to be taken seriously. Heck his voice isn't even that deep lol

Okada Masaki, Nakai Kiichi and Nanao <3
*adds to my never-ending plan to watch list*

Tomo, we miss you on screen! Hope you'll come back <3

A very well-written, well-researched and sensitive article! I always appreciate content on Japanese dramas and movies. Glad to see a sensitive comment section as well :)

I hope more people break free from generalizing Japanese content and actually watch dramas / movies from Japan that open their eyes to just how much brilliance Japan produces.

I'm only on E2 and I find the FL too loud and overdramatic in certain scenes. She's a decent actress but she's not doing it for me in this drama HAHA
Anyway I'm gonna keep watching as I am intrigued about what's going on. Also, Alice Ke's character is so cool.

Thank you so much!

I hate that profile pic. URGHHHHHHHH
He is way better looking than that.

Exactly! Tsumugi's love for Minato VS Tsumugi's love for Sou doesn't have to be compared, and it's not fair to say she loves Sou more or Minato more. She loves them both in different ways, and they hold different corners in her heart, which the show made clear when Tsumugi mentioned to Sou that she'll eat anything except hamburger because hamburgers are reserved for Minato. With Minato, she didn't feel the kind of sexual attraction and he was like family - but was it any lesser than love? Nope. It was love nonetheless.

We love different things about different people, and the sum of all these parts are often greater than the whole.

I hope more people understand this and not fixate on defining the level of love she has for either men. Love is love, as simple as that.
