Barairo no Seisen (2011)

i watched this drama in one go simply because i was drawn to it by the theme of it. A woman struggling to be a model at an age where she should not be starting this. It's about the transformation and maturing of hers. From a woman who was simply a servant to her husband and nothing else, she transformed into a butterly by the end of the story. The path to transformation had obstacles and it was not easy at all. It is a drama that teaches perseverence, patience, hard work, belief, kindness, positive energy and poses a moral question to a woman . "what is the role of a married woman" and I think it answers it well by the end.

Acting was very good I could definitely sympathise with fukishi's great acting. not everyone in this did as well as fukishi but I think that everyone did a very good job with the exception of ashina sei and her inability to let us actually know more about her role and sympathize. If you are someone who appreciates good acting, this won't disappoint you.

the music of it was working as an enhancer of feelings.

As far as rewatchign goes. I'd not see why someone would not rewatch at least once. It was an interesting drama.

Wonderful with an open ending

This drama was really good. While, it can be sort of strange in some parts, I overall enjoyed the story and characters. The ending was quite open and it could have easily opened to a second season. I know I want to see more of the relationships of the characters. However, I will be fine with just rewatching it.
Now, on to a more detailed review.
The FL was great and I loved seeing her grow from a timid housewife to a confident model. I could personally relate to her because I grew up by being on of the guys. So, it was refreshing to see someone's journey. I honestly loved her. Her husband on the other hand it ... He's okay. He does a lot of jerkish things but I figured that was probably how he was raised. Jun Kaname's character was also great. I loved seeing his relationship with the female lead. How he was always so encouraging and helping her along. I wish he was more then a support character though. I would have loved to see more of him.
