Kanna Hashimoto just fails in a serious role for me. The premise is also lame. "Let's meet here again in 4 years under the meteor shower and let's continue our puppy love cause I'm sure our feelings to each other would stay the same" LMAO. I know this is just a drama but at least make it a bit realistic. It's also very cliche. It's the type of story where an innocent girl would fall in love with a playboy who likes to kiss every girl he sees like how many times we've seen that.
I didn't expect to cry but stories involving kids I just couldn't help but tear up. The story is so touching, it's about how the death of a wife made a person much better and how kids can melt even coldest hearts. The dialogue is not sugar coated it may came as harsh but it's true we thought of that when someone dies atleast for me. The acting is superb, the main character is great at giving advice, he's a writer in the first place but ironically he couldn't apply that to himself. The pace is slow but not koreeda or kawase type of slow.
I haven’t watched this however Haruma is one of the best Japan has , his performance in boku no ita jitan was…
I've seen that drama and probably his best. He's a good actor it's just that he's a hit or miss sometimes just like in this movie. Sorry but I don't think he's one of the best, I can name 30+ japanese actors better than him.
Oguri shun is oguri shun. Sawajiri and Miyazawa rie made me cry in One liter of tears and Her Love Boils Bathwater. Fumi nikaido is just savage and the best Japanese young actress right now and its not even close.
It's called subtle acting my friend. He is different than those boy band actors that has same facial expression because with him you can really feel what his character feels even he doesn't say anything. That's the magic of subtle acting and ryuhei matsuda mastered it. He is considered as one of the best actors in Japan.
Perhaps one of the most realistic portrayal of love in any Japanese drama. There's no he's the only one for me, she's the only one for me, you know those type of sh*ts.
"can we stay together?" "it depends on us"
no cheesy lines indeed.
To be honest first episode is not that good but the next 5 episodes are gold until the last 4 episodes lost it's quality again, it's just a shame because this drama has interesting set of characters and top notch actors to play them. Just look at the cast Ryuhei Matsuda, Rinko Kikuchi, Haru Kuroki what a cast.
Romance is not the main point of the drama so if you're a fan of Aragaki Yui and you want to see her again in another cheesy rom com then don't hesitate and drop this already. This is about people who are pushovers those who can't say no to anything, whether it is work, relationships or love.
She will voice the main character in the new makoto shinkai movie so yes definitely she will get lead role soon. Shinkai power is big deal look at what happen to mone kamishiraishi.
