GOLD (2010)

Life is about taking yourself to the next level. More than motivacional, GOLD is charming and has its own way to send its message. Characters are dense and well build. The major point, for me, it's the pressure and the expectations which not only the characters - and also us - need to handle. Yuri cares about those precious kids, accepting their burden instead of blaming others. There's so much more than her stricness. There's also love and strong bonds in the family.

The point of this drama is to show people how important is to persevere. We can't say that's an easy journey to victory. Victory only has meaning and keeps you along the road when you work hard for it. There's a lot of stuff in the way. GOLD says a lot about how we can enter the road and deal with the surprises that can appear. Yuri did well teaching her kids, Rika-chan (^o^) and also teaching me how important it is to have a strong and unwavering heart.

Sorry for my bad english, guys. I just needed to tell how I felt about them.

This drama is based on mastering sports, yet the most focus has fallen on the family ties and connections between people and their past history. I liked this one a lot because it has a gradual yet interesting build-up through the show - nothing felt left out but it did not bore me even once. The cast is excellent and the characters show a wide variety of characteristics. It is possible that therefore some of these characters are not to everyone's taste but this makes the show more real as it introduces clashing personalities from different ages and backgrounds. As these clashes/problems are dealt with lots of surprises come out. This drama has a very interesting plot to gradually explore.

If you like daily life excitement and great emotions I don't think this show will disappoint you. It did not for me!

I despise this drama sooo much. Like a comment posted under I had previously watched it for Ayano Gou, which I thought he was pretty good, so was the woman's daughter and son and I guess the woman, but why the low score?

It was an unsatisfying drama all through out. Others probably will disagree but half the time I didn't understand the plots, there was no real ending to ANY of them that I saw and if there were ends they were unsatisfying.

I think the drama tried to make this into...something and it just fell apart. I do not understand if the mother was abusive or not or what or why they accepted her abuse (yeah, there is some abuse I warn you). So what does that mean? What was the point of this drama?

Some of you may have better luck but I thought after watching Asian films and dramas for most of my life I'd be able to understand this and I just didn't.

Why didn't I give it a 1? Well, everything else was fine. I mean the acting was pretty superb. Except for the assistant or whatever she was, she annoyed me.

I just...I don't even get this drama. I will definitely not re-watch it. Ever again. I'd rather watch The Crucible again and I dropped that because I couldn't handle it.
