Penultimate

Gah! This episode was a bit uneventful for me but I did like that all the pieces of the history of Takumi and Yuna finally came together. The motives of the true bad guy revealed and it felt as if the metaphorical gun has gone off for the race to the finish. Thankfully this drama is only 11 episodes so hanging on to surprising details and waiting until the last minute to complete pieces of the story did not feel so dragged out. I am still loving this drama but impatient for Takumi and Yuna to have their (hopefully!???) happy ending.

Katagiri Arc Explained!

Omg I wanted Eriko to slap the crap out of Yada-san at the end! I'm glad Katagiri was the main focus already, I was waiting for them to explain why he was so weird around shooting/killing people.. or wait I guess normal people would be weird around that kind of stuff but he's a detective! He should totally be handling it! I digress, Onada turned out not to be such an imp in the end- which is good I haven't been able to put him in a good vs bad pile yet, until now. Other than that, Yamamu falls in love with a hostess gets his heart/wallet ripped apart, Nodate pulls an evil queen impression from snow white and Eriko's bf won't answer her calls. Onward!

Trials to be overcome!

This will be the last job I want you to do.. Going through the many trials of making Naoto face up to his past sins there is no going back for Ryou. Inprisoning his heart along with his real personality, He decides that he will get his revenge for his brother not leaving any hope for others to see who he really still am in his heart.

The episode was doubtlessly amazing. Looking at it I could just feel the tension between the brothers as both in their own ways faced up to their own flaws and fails.



The affair is out into the light, And Mari is refused to be granted a divorce by her husband.



Naoto's brother becomes all the more insecure with his actions as Naoto intends to work hard on the case to free kasai of all suspicions. Bad seeds have grown in the pure earth. Friendships are ruined, and hearts are broken in order to make things allright.



Naruse''Tomoo'' refuses to let the ending change no matter how much Naoto pleads him for forgiveness, However he doesn't really see the right to hate him for it as he sees himself as the person who is at fault for making Tomoo go through all this pain and suffering in the first place.



Amazing episode as always, Its so sad that there is but one episode remaining. I'll probably be crying at the end of this drama.

Like a BOSS

Ooo Eriko's boyfriend finds out she's a detective! I have no idea why she was keeping it from him and it's kind of unbelievable that he hadn't figured it out yet since she's been on the news for a while.. but, yeah. That reporter really pissed Eriko off, probably because they're the same- it was almost like when Kimoto got kidnapped and related with her kidnapper.. that sort of feeling I guess. I didn't expect this drama to have so much depth, you really feel like all of them are growing and changing- especially Eriko. So now the question is, to what end? The episodes are mostly episodic i'm still trying to figure out what the main narrative is, what is this all leading to? I guess i'll find out ^_^

Please go out with me?

I hate sullen teenagers with a passion >.<

that said, I ended up sympathizing with with her... we were all sixteen once ..haha Nodate was chasing butterflies in Roppongi- I love that line. It seems like Ishihara got to Eriko about her 5 year relationship with a still mostly-mysterious man. I wonder where that leads, also i'm so glad that the 'Top' weren't as annoying as they usually are when dealing with Eriko- there's only so much blatant sexism I can take ^_^

Not getting Married!

As much as I don't want Ji An to marry the doctor, I must say his sticking a sign on his back stating "not getting married" was pure genius! Hahahahaha

Most people involved in Ji An's pregnancy are coming to terms with it, which I think it's the right time too: her parents are a lot more bearable when they show a little sense. Now it's Tae Kang's father turn: what would he say if he knew he's the biological grandfather of that baby? Would he still insist his son goes to the USA?

I love how sensitive subjects are treated here: presenting different views and then coming to the most sensible conclusion. A single parent is not only a present reality in every country, but it's also something to be respected and, in many cases, admired. Would it be better, or morally more acceptable, if a person decided to marry just to avoid complications?

i feel bad for shancai

her parents are only worry bout money and marrying off her daughter. i mean the dad was too lazy to get a job and he went to a loan shark to borrow 1 million and instead of paying bill AND finding a job he wasted it on ticket KNOWING he will lose on them. so of course shancai went to daoming si and tell him can she borrow money from him. really shancai really??

Why???

There is one thing I can't understand about this drama : WHY CARRY A BABY AROUND? Really now, your younger siblings are more then capable of caring for the child so you can concentrate on working, why complicate your life? To make yourself pitiful? Also some aspects are too much to believe, mainly when they concern the lawyer. Until now I keep watching without actually liking the series. Still I'm curious..

How much more adorable can Tae Kang become?

I'd never thought I could grow so attached to Tae Kang's character when I first started this drama. He was always cute to watch, but just like a pretty, funny puppy. He's growing fast and in such an adorable way, I can very well empathise with Ji An.

I love that this script is so well done the viewer develops feeling at the same pace as Ji An. The drama revolves around her and her choiches, and one can recognize a well written character when the viewer is feeling what the character feels.

I'm sad for Na Ri, who is very far from being an evil character - I like her a lot, actually - and will probably experience a heartbreak soon.

lost and found and then lost again

Why do I suddenly feel sorry for the bad guy, Hyun Min??? I hope it isn?t just because I think that Uhm Ki Joon is cute and more because Hyun Min was totally made that way by his evil uncle.

I love this drama, but I was thinking ?duh? when things go wrong because of a spy.

Now what??? How are they going to catch the Hyun Min now??? I felt like they had revealed the master mind too early, but it is riveting to watch them try to find proof. He is really two steps ahead at this point.

I am glad that Mad Cow is in on the secret though!!!

A Good Start...

...to a familiar drama. Though G.T.O. has been done before, this episode felt very fresh for me for several reasons. The cast, so far, has been very good. I'm especially loving Onizuka's mates, played by Yamamoto Yusuke (back in a b.a. role) and Shirota Yu.

Although most of the scenes play out similarly to it's 1998 counterpart, this new G.T.O. shows promise to be a very good adaptation in it's own right. I can't wait to see what's next.

kinda spoilerish...so don't read if you haven't watched it.

At first I was totally skeptical when Shunji acted like a total lunatic. His character went from an easy going and loving man to a crazy person??? It was just to unbelievable to me. Then I thought back on Kang To?s actions before he knew the truth and realized that it is comparable?especially after listening to what Shunji said to Kang To.

Kang To realizing the reality of life as bridal mask was just overwhelming. Again I say that Joo Won deserves some kind of an award for his acting abilities. I hardly ever cry watching a drama, but because of him I have cried several times.

I?m so glad that Mok Dan caught on to Hong Joo not being a nun. She isn?t as dumb as I thought she would be. One more thing Shunji?s surprise at Mok Dan turning on him when he had no problem hurting and using her verifies that he is certifiably crazy.

Did I mention the action in this drama is great? Well, it is and the ending was AWESOME!!! I totally love this drama!!!

Busted!

I was waiting for Mari and Kasai's affair to be discovered by Naoto's older brother for quite awhile. It is however quite unfair of his brother to give all the blame to Kasai though when clearly Mari is equally much to blame as him. Ohno comes up into the open being Amano Makoto, A confession is made. But is wasn't recorded on tape.. In reality, What evidence does Naoto have?



None, Its all circumstancial.. As we go through this episode, Lies all come unveiled and shows the true color behind people. One persons try to keep another alive, Leading to another coming trying to turn that around.



Great episode, Still a 10 for me.
