Beautiful cast, good chemistry and a shirtless Om, Oh My...

Thanks to JL Subbing Team for making this available!

Things I liked:
1. Loved the playfulness of the main couple characters and Om (Aroom) and Aum (Witsanee/Visanee) did a great job expressing their emotions throughout the lakorn.
2. Beautiful cast.
3. Loved the second lead couple of Chart and Noot and progression of their relationship.
4. Loved the chemistry between both couples.
5. Loved how Aroom mostly looks at Witsanee (Visanee) throughout the lakorn.
6. The female lead was basically a nice person even though she was sarcastic in replies to certain people due to her upbringing.
7. The male lead was a good person.
8. Kiss and slap, lol! (reverse of slap and kiss).
9. Beautiful costuming.

Things I expect from most Thai Lakorns to check the box:
1. lots of hospital visits by main couple and others
2. male lead who allows supposed girl “friend” to make problems
3. male lead who doesn't realize how girl “friend” feels about him
4. evil mother-of-someone who plots because of greed
5. evil people escape time and again to cause more problems
6. karma

Things I didn't like:
1. How Aroom wobbled between Non and Witsanee. But, that's the foundation of what happens later in the lakorn after the accident.
2. How Aroom continued to allow Su to come between him and Witsanee.
3. It became a bit draggy in last three episodes.

Spoilers below:
















I find it somewhat hard to believe Aroom could overcome his guilt for loving Witsanee after she accidentally kills Non. By the way, the brakes were not cut. And, of course, this becomes a large part of how their relationship goes back and forth in later episodes. It's only remotely possible because he was already in love with Witsanee even though he still loved Non and had wanted to marry her. He was willing to deny his love for Witsanee to honor his older feelings and commitment to Non. And, I also think he was afraid to let go of Non and go to Witsanee because of his honor and beliefs. I was also curious on how Noot could forgive Witsanee. I think the monk telling Noot to let go of her anger and Witsanee to let go of her guilt are good life lessons. However, I'm not sure how well I could do either if I were in in their place.
I would have liked to have seen a longer happy ending with a really good kiss, but, oh well.
It's a Thai lakorn and even when they drive me to drink, I still love them.

Story: 8 nothing too unexpected if you've watched a lot of lakorns.
Acting/Cast: 9 for acting and 10 for beautiful cast!
Music: 6 – mostly seemed ok
Re-watch value: 5 for certain parts

I liked all but the last episode

Given how I am quite a fan of the genre (meaning, Japanese horror), I just *had to* watch this "Kotodamasou".
And upon completion, I'm happy to announce it was quite a satisfying watch, except for the very last episode, which left me with a bitter aftertaste - more on that later).
First things first, what I liked:

1) The script (again, apart from the 10th ep.) was of pretty high quality; no cheap tricks, intriguing and subtly scary without being obnoxiously trying too much (if you're reading this while being in California and you hear a giant sneeze, well, it's because I'm thinking about Hollywood right now, LOL)

2) The cast: in all fairness, I bet most of the male audience would move to that residence right away, regardless of the fact that's haunted; I mean, Nishino Nanase, Hotta Mayu, Miyoshi Ayaka, Ishii Anna, Uchida Rio, Nakamura Yurika and Morita Misato all under the same roof? Count me in! Right? ^__^;;;
Honorable mention also for Eita's younger brother, here blissful among women...^_^

3) The production value: definitely pretty high! Directing, editing, photography, music...all very nice!

So, back to what I *didn't* like - namely, the last episode:

**************************************
(WARNING: huge spoilers ahead, ignore what follows if you don't wanna see them! ^___-)
**************************************

I know it's so common in horror stories, but the last twist, used to give that last cheap scare (and possibly *cough! cough!* to leave the door open for a second season?), was imvho not only unnecessary but also detrimental to the story itself, as was part of the explanation and of the solution of the haunting (I didn't like how the owner was portrayed - a ridiculous villain - nor how Sugai-san's deeds were so easily forgiven at the end - I could sum up the whole episode saying that it seemed written in Hollywood, indeed, as it had all the typical faults of a Western production - lousy wrap-up, morally questionable message, etc.)


Here's how *I* would've written the last episode:

a) I would've removed the owner's role altogether;

b) I would've had Sugai-san commit suicide right after Mitsuba-san's death (perhaps by jumping off a cliff or something, anything that might have explained how her body hadn't been found immediately - it could've been found later on, not recognized, and therefore she would've been considered to be still at large);

c) Sugai-san'd deeds shouldn't have been so easily pardoned in the end; she had still killed three people, hardly a behavior deserving of "and they lived happily ever after in the afterlife"!!!

d) instead of Ayaka-san coming back as a new evil spirit, I'd have written the last scene like this: the car stops at the seaside, the FL turns and sees Ayaka-san's ghost in the backseat, smiling and pointing towards a small house on a cliff; while the ML's busy with the engine, the FL leaves the car, follows Ayaka-san's hint and checks the house, which ends up being for sale/rent. The FL decides to take it and they move in; a few quickly edited scenes then show glimpses of the future, with the leads having a daughter and calling it Ayaka.
And THEY lived happily ever after, 'cause THEY deserved it.
Not the dangerous psychopath.

All imvho. Peace! ^___-

A fairy tale gone wrong

The story has all the seeds of an interesting and intriguing story - a jaded Fukuura Koharu who just went through a rough set of unfortunate events met a handsome doctor and widower, Izumisawa Daigo and saved him from imminent danger. This one act of kindness set off a chain of fairy tale-like sequences in return, luring her in to become part of Daigo's family. He's handsome, generous, and rich, with a pretty daughter who needs a mother's love. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, anything. What happens in the movie is a deliciously dark spiral down to madness, where everything comes crashing down in the end. Sometimes, you just need a story where everything goes wrong (or right, for them?) in the end, and if you're looking for one, then this is it. However, the development and pacing did not fully realize the movie's potential.

For one, Koharu's sudden decision around the 1hr. 30-min mark of the film came too suddenly that I need to pause for a while and rewind. Like what someone else on the comments and review section said, this would've worked better as a 3-episode drama because there's so much to unpack - there's a lot of symbolism and parallels that could've been more properly explored. As it is, it felt like they wanted to do too many things in the movie, and ended up rushing certain things (like the ending. that didn't make sense considering that the couple wreaked havoc on the school some few days before - no way should the authorities let them back in like that).

The OST is a gem, though, I've listened to it countless times since they released it on Spotify on February of this year, and to hear it in the movie made the dark spin on fairy tales all the more prominent. The film was also very aesthetic, it was very pleasing to the eye with a lot of scenic shots. The color grading was done tastefully - the colors either pop up or blend with shadows, depending on how the movie's progression.

Tsuchiya Tao doesn't disappoint - she truly does shine in dark roles. As much as I liked seeing her portray happiness and joy, it is in the movie's 2nd half did she truly shine. She lets herself loose, depicting Koharu's frustration, exhaustion, irritation, anger, and devastation with ease, you can clearly see the emotions on her face and with that, I must say that her work in Aishu Cinderella is one of her best, so far. Coco as Hikari did a great job of annoying me lol, but she still had a lot of room to grow for the scenes that shows Hikari's depth. Tanaka Kei as Daigo's also fun to watch, and like with Tao, I like seeing him best when he's getting unhinged (that dinner scene in the latter part of the movie's a delight to watch!).

All in all, Aishu Cinderella could've been so much more, it had a lot of potential but this wasn't fully realized due mainly to its pacing and development. However, one of the things it did right is show everyone the responsibility and role of parents as the primary teachers of their children. What you teach to your kids and how you deal with them will ultimately affect the kind of person that they will become in the future. And like what Koharu said, truly, how do you become a good mother?

I wish I could like this drama, but it honestly annoyed me beyond belief. The first 2 or 3 episodes showed such promise. I loved the young characters and the story of how they met. It was very warm and bittersweet. Unfortunately, the story went downhill from there. I didn't care for most of the characters, including the main characters. I really didn't like Soo Wan's transformation at all. She was just kind of.... annoying and not really that interesting. I also didn't like the story and wholeheartedly hated the ending. I am aware of the fact that this was supposed to be a melodrama, but ithere was just too much sadness. To me it looked like a bunch of unfortunate events strung together by a loose plot. I desperately waited for some relieve and it never came. On top of that, a lot of dialogues seemed stiff to me. It was one of the earlier dramas I watched, so I thought that many kdramas are so melodramatic. After watching the show, I really thought of giving up on kdramas for a while.

♥ この世界の片隅に ♥

この世界の片隅に is filmed in my hometown in Hiroshima-Kure ♥ This drama is about Urano Suzu who lives with her family and her parents want to get her married. So they introduce her to Hojo family who she met when she was little...She lives in Eba where she grew up and after her marriage she moved to Kure in Hiroshima in the middle of the pacific war. Supplies are short, and family and friends get sent to the battlefield...Suzu and the Hojo family battle such anxieties as they try to live positively. They try to make a child but they end up adopting one from the war which ended.
This drama is adapted from the manga which I read recently and fell in love with everything in it. It was simply a masterpiece and not only because it's based in my hometown but also because I really love how the ancient people lived at the past. I would give everything for his world to return back to that time where everyone was so honest and everything was more simple ♥ ♥♥

“Age of Youth” aired July 22, 2016, to August 27, 2016, and had a cast that I am personally not all that acquainted with. There were familiar faces here and there, but it was my first time encountering our 5 female leads, so that was pretty interesting. I’m not one to be a huge fan of the romantic comedy genre, but I have to say I am quite surprised. This drama had me laughing, crying, and sometimes even a little bit spooked and I like that about this drama. However, with all the changing mood shifts throughout the drama, I sometimes found it to be a bit jarring. The first few episodes I couldn’t really tell where and what the show was going for, but after a while, I could see that perhaps it was trying to be a little different than most coming of age melancholy shows. The dynamic between the five women who lived in this house was my favorite part of the entire show itself. The female leads were all distinctive, and had different points of views on life, and lived vastly different lifestyles. The way they all interreacted and how their friendship grew throughout the show was really the most satisfying part. Having seen them grow individually as characters and how they dealt with the obstacles that life threw at them was compelling. I think this drama has some really special qualities about it and I really did enjoy it, but I still have some gripes with it.
The intro sequences were really strange to me, the openings really seemed out of left field. I guess they sort of matched the title of each episode, but I wasn’t really about it. I enjoyed the first episodes’ little drawings incorporated throughout but wished that it would persist the entire drama itself. The ending of the drama was strange to me, it was a little forced to wrap things up, and still left us with a lot of questions. I know there is a season two but for a first-time watcher during the broadcast of the show, we are left wondering so many things. Like whatever happened to the roommate that Jung Ye Eun replaced? We heard a little about her situations but it seemed more serious than that and we never really got anything more about it. They built it up and then nothing really came of it. There are other questions to be asked about each female lead, but I don’t want to really go into spoilers about it so I can’t really talk about it. I felt that this drama dealt with some pretty serious issues but I don’t think that 12 episodes were enough to get fully fleshed out storylines for each of the girls. We would see things happen and situations they were all in, and of course, we got our outcomes, but truly it wasn’t enough time to sort through it all. It sometimes felt just a tad rushed for my liking and I think that perhaps 20 episodes would have done this show better justice.
The female leads in this drama were all great. They all won my heart in some way or another, even though during the first few episodes I was unsure about some of them. I have to say that Ryu Hwa Young as Kang Yi Na was my favorite housemate, and her lifestyle and “job” were my favorite. I know this may sound weird if you have seen it, but I kind of wanted to dive deeper into her lifestyle because I genuinely found it interesting. Han Ye Ri as Yoon Jin Myung was great as well and I think she is a great actress. Her emotional scenes had me in tears and I really want to watch some more dramas with her in it. Park Hye Soo as Yoo Eun Jae was pretty good as well, her character was a little wishy-washy for my liking because she just never seemed very strong and so unsure about everything, that I have to say I was a little annoyed with her. But, I grew to be attached to her character anyways, especially when she had scenes with Shin Hyun Soo as Yoon Jong Yul. Han Seung Yeon as Jung Ye Eun was the girl that I’m sure most were annoyed with. She was the typical Korean female lead that you see where you are just not sure why she is so attached to someone who treats her the way they do. She is whinny and overreacts to everything, but even though she can be annoying she was still fun to watch. She just seemed the most generic to me out of the five girls. Lastly Park Eun Bin as Song Ji Won was great. I loved her character and her personality. Her confidence and boldness was pretty important to the story, and was infectious as a viewer, as she got a lot of balls got rolling which leads to bigger events, and I appreciate that about her character. I just wish the writers would have flushed out her storyline a little more. We just never got enough time with her.
Like I said before the show could have had more episodes to really pull us in and give us more information on each girl; their love and personal lives were all intriguing and I think I would have enjoyed the drama so much more with more development. But with what we had to work with, I’m still pretty fond of this drama. The girls have latched onto my heart, and each of them truly was great characters, I just wish they had more time to shine. This romantic comedy was something that I really enjoyed and may get me more into the romantic comedy genre. I hope that I can watch more of what each of our leads has done because I was impressed by them all. I also hope that season 2 will give us a little more information on some of the girls because the ending was a little too vague. Overall though, I thought it was a pretty great drama that drew you into the world and got you invested into each one of the characters enough for me to want more.

It's one of my top 3 all-time favorite C-dramas!

The cast is amazing. It's like Bai Yu and Zhu Yi Long jumped out of the novel. Find the novel and read the character descriptions - it's uncanny - both their physical appearance and energy is spot on. Their chemistry is YOWZA. Chinese censorship is probably the only thing that kept my heart from exploding from the joy and pain in this relationship. The show would not work without their chemistry even though it's a bromance *cough*. Zhu Yi Long is impressive as Shen Wei. He is basically playing 4 different characters when you consider the maturity of his character and his nemesis. Each character has a distinct presence - his performance is flawless. The music is beautiful - especially the OST at the end of each episode. I don't want to give it a perfect 10 due to the two main issues: censorship and CGI. It could have been better so I shouldn't give it a ten although I truly love it. This show was made with a lot of love and it's that love that rises above its limitations and lets me ignore the flaws. It's the censorship that gets me down. Still, I hope this cast works together one day and a tiny part of me wishes we'd get another shot at this storyline if censorship laws ever changed.

Part 1

Quite some time I've not found some drama that really binge worthy like this. This drama make me lack sleeping because I really want to keep my eyes open & continue watch that story. Haha...

I don't want much talk about what this drama about, because from what I've read quite some people already wrote about that & their description quite accurate. So I don't wanna bored you guys with another summary or talk about what this drama about. Let's we just jump to what I like & dislike about this drama... :P

What I like:
+ Adorable young couple. Many historical c-drama talk about young marriage couple, especially the woman, because you know old days they're married quite young, but mostly our FL character quite mature (quiet, composed, calm whatever you want to called it) and we can't really imagine they actually quite young in their supposed age in the drama. Here we can see Cheng Shao Shang / Niao Niao (NN) (age 15) actually quite childish in her nature, like how witty or active she is. But what make her different than other character is how she look at marriage really portray how actually she herself still a child, like her conversation with Wan Qi Qi: "What's it like to be in love? It is better to find a playmate as a husband," she describe marriage like playing house. Or later on we can see how fickle her with her love feeling tpward Ling Bu Yi / Zi Sheng (ZS)
+ How fast Xiao Yuan Yi (NN mom) to eliminate annoying character, which is Cheng Yang's mother. I really think at first she will continue bother us in our drama, but it's false & I really glad they don't took time to eliminate one annoying character. Even the grandmother become quite subdue for the rest of the drama. Haha...
+ The looked in ZS face, especially his eyes when he see NN. Even from the smallest glance we can see that it's love at the first sight. And how gentle his eyes every time he see NN. Haha...
+ The funny king, kind hearted queen & the dynamic of the king family. But more of them at part 2.
+ The adorable sidekick, Liang Qiu Qi and Liang Qiu Fei (QF). Sometimes really funny to see the interaction with ZS with his 2 assistant, especially QF, how sometimes his mouth is just incontrollable and spitting out words.

What I don't like:
- How partial NN mom is & not to NN herself, a daughter that she already left behind for 15 years, yet not get the love from her mother & must witness how partial her mother with Cheng Yang/Yang Yang (YY).
- How stupid or childish Yuan Shen (YS) is. Hey you love NN, yet you do nothing to prove it & what you can only do is teasing & annoyed NN & after that just jealous to see the other get her love & attention. It's not nice & I don't too like this kind of love that YS show.

Overall this part like everybody wrote, mostly talk about family dynamic, the feeling that our couple try to develop & how to shape NN character. Really exciting to looked for answer in the part 2.

This one broke me...

For me, this movie was really great. "2037" made me cry a lot. The plot was really heartbreaking.

In my opinion, the relationship between a deaf mother and her daughter has been shown very well. It may seem a bit cold but I think it's because Yoon Young's life was not easy. She felt she had to look after her mother, so she decided to lie that she didn't drop out of school and she worked a lot. But she was still happy and wanted to fight for herself by passing the government exam. She and her mother cared for each other and were happy together until this terrible thing happened.

Then Yoon Young was wrongly imprisoned and she had a really hard time, despite the fact that her fellow inmates tried very hard to help her. The relationship between the fellow prisoners was great. They were kind and thoughtful towards Yoon Young.

The emotions in this film were shown so well that it was easy for the viewer to empathize with them.

This is one of the best movies I have ever watched.

AVOID - Unless

My personal opinion of this Drama largely agrees with the overwhelming majority of reviews here - it's unwatchably bad. I actually found the first 20 or so episodes to be in the ":so bad it's good" category, but overall, it's just bad. I got though it to the end only by watching on 3X FF - hooray for subtitles! That's why I said AVOID - unless...

Unless you like makjang as a genre. It is VERY easy to mock the genre, and a glance through my feed will show I did just that throughout my rapid watch of this Drama. It was fun to take screencaps of some standout absurdities, and the amusement derived is a big part of why I finished it. But the genre has its fans, and the fact that a Drama like this one was made in 2021 shows there's still a market for makjang.

The other reason I stuck it out to the end was the performance of Lee Da Hae https://mydramalist.com/people/44919-lee-da-hae as Ju Se Ri. Her character was completely OTT even by the Drama's standards, but Ms Lee rose to the challenge of making it clear that the character believed her own story. Her facial expressions in particular were impressive, showing a much greater range and variety of makjang madness than the main villain, played by Choi Ye Jin, who was the main reason I started this. It seems fitting that of all the villains, her character has the 'happiest' ending.

So even though I'd never recommend watching this, I salute the professionalism of all involved - hardworking actors and crew who clearly gave their best to a 5-month project

Good cast, music, production, but lack in some points!

I start by apologizing because English is not my native language and if my text got confused in some parts, I'm really sorry, but I wanted to write my first review here in MDL. :)

Thank you very much for reading!

____________________________________________________
HANA YORI DANGO is a classic shoujo manga, no wonder its your fifth live action version! I have already watched the Japanese, Korean and Chinese versions (the only one missing is the Taiwanese one) and read the manga. I must say this Thai version is good, but not that good!

|STORY:|
F4 Thailand is the version with fewer episodes compared to the others, so I figured out that the material would be shortened or changed. The beginning is very good and dramatic, similar in all other versions, with some differences, such as the F4 having their own "arena" to do their punishments on the students marked with the red card. I found it remarkable with a great cinematography!

The narrative runs well, but some loose ends appear that are not explained or shown. For example about Kaning's motorcycle (we don't see her riding it before the accident and we don't see her getting the new one) and how the situation of Gorya's house turned out after her expulsion by Thyme's mother. These are some gaps in the script that seem silly, but they are important for the narrative constancy.

I believe that one of the big differences in this version here is the trip that Thyme takes, but Gourya does not follow him afterwards. In the other versions this happens. The ending is VERY rushed and they changed or deleted several points from the original work. The development of the main couple is good, but they made a big mistake regarding Kavin and Kaning. After what happened on the terrace, do they become a couple or not? For me it was not clear: another loose end. The Korean and Chinese versions worked this out VERY well. Thyme's sister (Tia) and Mira don't have a good development in the story; they do better in the other versions, it's a shame. I found Roselyn VERY young to be a mother of a daughter and a son who have a considerable age difference, choosing a mature actress could have been better.

|ACTING/CAST:|
Overall I found it good or reasonable, as some of them are beginning actors and actresses. Some scenes of BRIGHT as Thyme were very funny and I noticed that he uses an expression that doesn't change very much when he gets angry, but it's okay. DEW as Ren gave me that calmness and less indifference compared to his previous versions. He really seems to care about Gorya and would stay with her if he could. I really liked WIN as Kavin, very much like its Chinese version because of the glasses; he should have had a better development arc, but with sixteen episodes it was hard to do, pitiful. I was very surprised by NANI as MJ! I enjoyed all of his scenes, but it failed to show him as appeasing of the group. PRIM as Kaning: she is cute in all the versions that I watched! She is sweet, genuine and insists on the feeling that grows for Kavin. I loved all her scenes and I didn't think it was fair that she wasn't present in the last episodes with Kavin. Last and most important in this story, TU as Gorya! I really liked the actress and I thought she fulfilled her role well, but I missed a bigger feud between her and Thyme. He should have taken more of a beating from her because of everything she went through in the first few episodes.

|MUSIC:|
The songs are really beautiful! I really enjoyed! It is one of the first things that I notice in a drama and went to YouTube to play and save all the tracks! But I missed a theme song in the main scenes of the first and secondary couple. The Japanese and Korean versions did it very well in this point.

|REWATCH VALUE:|
Like all the previous versions, the Thai version also deserves to be seen more than once if you like HYD. I believe we always find something new every time we watch, our eyes get more sharp, critical and that's a good point. F4 Thailand is a good version that holds you from start to finish! The history has its problems (cliché, toxic male lead etc), but HYD is a classic that deserves to be seen! It has a good production and songs that would be worth watch.

Go see if you can! :)

It Was Nifty

Really had no idea what I was getting myself into because other than BWJ, I've never seen any of the other actors. Plus I've never seen nor heard of the comics or donghua this was based on. So was completely flying blind going into it. Another thing that was keeping me from starting it, was that zombies were mentioned and that's a genre I take a hard pass on. Thankfully the zombies--if you can call them that--were far from The Walking Dead or Resident Evil. They were there for maybe 2 to 3 episodes and looked more like something out of MJ's Thriller with too much makeup. They were comedic and not too bright.

Pros: What I really liked was the unraveling of the mysteries, the growth of friendships, having each others backs, the fight scenes, and the really awesome CGI; had to be my favorite part. It was nifty. The ending fight scene was probably the best because everyone that mattered even those that turned over a new leaf were part of it. Chief Taoist was like the granddaddy of awesomeness when he added icing on the cake. Over all, I hope season 2 explains more and has characters not just disappear and reappear randomly, but are given justifiable entrances and exits. FBB is my new favorite robot girl. From the protagonists, I think everyone was pretty great.

Cons: The ML annoyed me a lot; I won't lie. His goofiness was too much at times while other times he'd just walk around pouting like a 5 year old kid who didn't get any candy. I did ffw a lot because much of that comedy wasn't for me. I preferred when he acted and spoke intelligently. I feel the writing was stilted at times. Plus, each time character was charged with something, the mandarin writing on the screen and subbing overlapped and you couldn't understand what was written.

Would I recommend it? Sure, why not? Especially if you know the donghua it's based on and really like awesome looking CGI and unraveling fantastical mysteries plus group dynamics.

Just like the words coming softly from Bob Dylan: "How many roads must a man walk down, Before you call him a man?... The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind. The answer is blowin' in the wind"
Most realistic presentation of how manga's a re made.. plus an adorable leads that take you on a wonderful and heartwarming journey - one of the reasons why I first started watching Jdrama, and why I keep coming back for more.
And, yes: I am a HUGE fan of the art!
Seeing "How it's made" was an honor.

WHY I LIKED IT?
The premise is an easy one: our FL is no longer able to compete in judo and therefore was pushed into blue collar world, yet somehow (oh, and you'll see HOW exactly, that was delightfully done!) ended up in a world of manga editors. From there, we're embarking in a journey of episodic tales of "how manga is made", and for me - that was a great ride!
I loved how Show portrayed each and every character, not leaving anyone behind, giving all the backstory, and made everyone push toward an end goal (also the title of the Show): "additional printing". Both sides are covered elaborately: the mangakas and the editors, even the sales department.
Hey, and I absolutely LOVE that they actually WORK in this Show (unlike a lot of kdrama, where ML, thought he is a chaebol working in a million dollar company spend 90% of time chasing FL, where does he get the time?!). This is a Show about WORK and work it gives us - the struggles to get the "name" (something like a "blueprint" for the following issue), the personal issues, the reasoning behind decisions that are being made to push the sales up.
You learn from this Show: about some terms you never knew, and never bothered to know - not many of the fans of manga actually care to know HOW exactly they are made - this Show gives us that. Just that.. plus, the quirkiness of Bear Cub. :)
(ehmmm, yeah, *caugh, caugh* and there's Odagiri Joe, so... yeah)
WHAT I DID NOT LIKE
I'll leave this one empty.
I wouldn't give this a 10,0 unless I was purely amazed by it. And moved. And inspired to give myself another push toward doing my own job better.
THE MUSIC
The song is called "Echo", performed by Unicorn. (to me, the music in this one was Bob Dylan's "Blowing in the wind, for some reason - maybe because they do sound alike, so my mind was instantly pulled in that direction). To say that was fitting would be an understatement, since the music was a perfect portrayal of what this Show was all about.
OVERALL
A shining GEM!
You love manga - then this is a MUST SEE.
You need inspiration - then this is a MUST SEE.
...damn, I need to read some manga now. Bye.
