Gripping and A LOT of plot twists...

I watch A LOT of J-drama's especially BL's. And i have too say this one was done very well. I really thought the acting was great with a lot of plot twists. Especially, towards the end. All in all i'd really like too see a second season happen so we can watch how our characters are developing in their new roles and lives after "the incident" and truth was finally told. I especially, want too see if Mitarai Makiko is going too continue her devious schemes or finally turn the corner for the better. I'd like too see Kichi and Anzu get married and have kids. And perhaps that would change Kichi's mother into a kinder more caring person. And i definitely want too see Shinji become a doctor at the hospital and start his relationship with Yuzu. So hopefully the director get the positive feedback he needs too "green light" this a second season. Because their is a lot they could do with it if given the chance.

Dysfunctional brother is more like it.

I can't understand for the life of me why Yuji played by Satoh Takeru was so harsh on his mother. Granted she killed the kids father. But i would like to think anyone would snap after seeing there kids getting beaten. Especially, as harshly as he did to them on a daily basis. A mother is either left with two choices sit back and allow it. Or she will come out like a mother bear protecting her cubs. And that's EXACTLY what this mother did. I don't condone violence of any kind or the fact that she killed another human being. But under there circumstances it was quite literally essential before there father killed one of them. It's no different than what the Menendez brothers did killing both of there parents. After YEARS of sexual and verbal abuse by there father. In that case, the mother knew what was going on but did absolutely nothing. So she was guilty by association as far as i'm concerned. It seems the hang up here lies with Yuji and he's the one who needed the counseling in order to move on. He was constantly using the word "we're or us" when the reality is it was his own personal feelings that couldn't move past what she had done to protect her children. It's a really great story about a family dynamics and the relationships we have with our parents and siblings. Especially, after something so tragic like this happens. The mother served her time, promised to return to her kids which she did. But still got blamed harshly by one of her kids for what she did. I don't know about everyone else out there. But i'd be welcoming my mother back with open arms upon her return from prison. And try my best to make up for all the lost time. By starting a new life with her without that monster of a father in the picture.

Absolute Must See...!!!

I've watched A LOT of J-Drama's over the years. This one REALLY hit home with me personally and otherwise. You'll be thrown off at first when starting the film as to what it's about. But as it progresses it turns into a BEAUTIFUL emotional story between two kids and there feelings for each other. I could so totally relate to what they both were struggling with as i did myself when i was about there age maybe a bit older. Everything from the story itself, to the actors, music, and scenery is on spot. Please don't pass up this gem folks. It truly is a tear jerker so make sure you have your tissues ready. I can't emphasize enough it's probably one of THE BEST Asian drama's i've seen in a long while. This is the kind of film or drama series i want to see MUCH, MUCH, more of. 10/10...!!!
