Was stumped w this drama in a positive sense. Japanese tragic dramas can be heavy but this one was punctuated w some positive vibes. A plutocrat family but in a sense a tribe isnt it where you have to follow the elders lead, out of conformity, cultural binds. The song Desperado being played throughout the drama is an apt choice. Hats off to Takuya Kimura who played Tenppei Manpyo , i have always liked him but in here he has shown his ability to deliver subtle emotions. You cant help but empathise with Kitaoji Kinya who played the "evil" father. The narration gave a perspective of the economic challenges in that era and remember dont be tempted to stop the player when you think its the ending. Listen to the last message from Tenppei.
