These couple of days I have been watching this drama, it was really like a breath of fresh air for me, after the Korean melodramas I have been watching lately, not that I am complaining, but... no I am complaining, as I watch them, but don't love them, and I really need a drama that I can LOVE, adore, cry over the words, cry over the good things that happen, and not only when someone dies or is dumped... I am every time amazed how good the Japanese present friendship... They do it so well, when I see a good friendship in a Korean drama, I automatically think someone Japanese works for the crew, haha~ I don't know how they do, but I always have tears in my eyes when I see these lonely souls come together and become support for each other. I can see some parallels in this drama with "Last Friends" (which, by the way, also has Eita and Ueno Juri as leads). But the Last Friends had a darker and 'saltier' feel to it, while this one, though again sometimes sad had a brighter feel. Many problems are raised in the show and the first one is the loneliness of a modern person. While a lot of people are around them every day, they find their piece with people whom they have never met at all, and those people understand their feelings in the 140 characters they can squeeze into Twitter update. Or not being able to be honest with yourself in the first place. I noticed in this drama, that it became like some kind of an addiction and illness for the characters, not being honest, that is. Lying to yourself and not sharing your feelings for so long, that when you find people who will actually listen to you not matter what you say, and no matter what you confess to... you continue lying to yourself, while these people actually start understanding you better that you do it yourself...that was really touching, and very well played throughout the drama. This will be rare of me, but I want to complain about the music. The songs were great, but the instrumental parts always dragged me out of the moment. You see, they used instrumentals from American movie "Holiday" and English movie "Love Actually". Though, I must confess they chose the best pieces of the Scores, I couldn't get into the moment and not imagine the scenes of the other movies the music sounded through, I think the Japanese have enough talented composers to take over score writing, so ganbare~ I am definitely rewatching this one, as I am a big sucker for well done friendship stories, and this drama became one of them for me.
