I like the contrast between the anger expressed by the two lead characters, one is more subdued and the other one is gunblazing wild swinging like a kamikaze figther jet. It seems like a typical inspiring boxing movie at the cover but boxing is just a vehicle used to better show the motivation of these characters, it is a character driven movie.

Wonderfully acted by suda masaki and Yang Ik Jun, but not just them but all actors. Each characters have their own struggles and quirks that made them memorable. Not an easy to watch film as whole movie was shrouded by the theme of hopelessnes; abadoned by parents, speech impediment, sex workers and a society with people committing suicide. It is also not for everyone there are sex scenes and the movie is almost 3 hours long, but that's the appeal of slow burn movie, you just sip it slowly like your hot coffee in the morning.

Hopefully part 2 will also be subbed.

9/10

Finally nanao in a non bitchy role.

Kaya Kiyohara is destined for greatness. I hope her management don't mess this up.

Kaho already gives the best actress vibe from that trailer.

Felt like I could have watched it without subs. lol

Same staff as Boku wa Mari no Naka? it feels like it cause both have same style. I especially love the cinematography in this drama, and one music in particular sounds like the one in All about lily chou chou movie.

Hashimoto Ai dramas not getting subs even here with popular actors such as takahata mitsuki and mackenyu. It's weird that with amazing cast, no one picked this drama yet.

Not a diss lol, she's very good here like totally different actress.

Best Nagasawa Masami performance so far.

I hope someone sub Mikazuki, it seems interesting.

Dakara Watashi wa Oshimashita won't win trust me. I know not many have seen that drama. Maybe Nagi no Oitoma but I even won't count on that one. The dramas that I think have huge chance to win are Hiiragi Sensei and Hajimete koi. Coffee and Vanilla is the hottest this year though so who knows. I don't take mdl awards seriously but I still vote just to participate.

It's the "More You Love The More You Hate" thingy. Idols are different as they are promoted for the fans to worship them, not all of course, but you know what I mean. So when they did something fans don't like it would be a national issue. Toxic fans exist from either korea and japan, but I find japanese fans more forgiving though.

My main concern is that character who went crazy in the end. lol I don't see the logic behind his actions. And it's not even bad acting but lousy script. I even felt bad about the actor because I know he's good.

If I were him I would also not hesitate, she's damn hot lol. Great couple both are great actors.

I watched it for that tasty ramen but got something more meaningful in the end. Who would have thought lol. I also love the ending, Matsuda Seiko the ethereal beauty.

8.5/10

I think this is quite accurate, I was checking sex themed and festival types films here on mdl, and 24 and under guys gave it the lowest.

It's like a live action of a murder-mystery visual novel game lol super unrealistic. The most annoying character is comic relief guy who attacked him in the end. I still don't know what to feel about this drama cause it could be by intention but let see.

Yeah similar personality like how they connect mundane things like sukiyaki and lemon to aspects of life. It's funny but it's true. LOL
