20_DramaQueen_23
The current rating isn't set and is subject to change so could go up or down.
So far it is good to see Japan and real Japanese actors plus the language not being sabotaged.
In saying that, this drama is all about a Japanese man and Korean woman and their relationship followed by a break up then meeting again in Korea 5 years later which is in the synopsis.
So...
What hasn't been good to see in just the first 10 minutes is all the luggage the main female character is carrying every step of the way from Narita airport when it could have easily been delivered directly from airport to door. Hassle free!!!!.
Unless of course that has changed...
Wonderful memories have been brought back with the bridge scene and what could have been a drone shot of Shibuya, Shinjuku or Akihabara.
Looked more like Shinjuku or Shibuya.
Winner so far just for giving me a walk down memory lane.
The story line isn't original when it comes to man meeting woman or woman meeting man, but what is refreshing is seeing more of a backbone when it comes to speaking ones mind or standing ones ground rather than apologising for everything whether the person is right or wrong.
Don't think there is any excessive bowing either...not yet anyhow.
Just so you know it does go back and forth between the past and present which for some will probably teeter on annoying whereas others won't mind. It has only been two episodes so this could change, of course.
I reckon the chemistry is a bit better between "Beni" and the Korean guy rather than her and the Japanese guy, "Yun Oh", although both act their parts well.
It is slow and not upbeat like some yet has it's light moments and own story to tell.
One thing I wish would change is all the drinking and getting drunk because in the first 30 minutes there is a number of scenes with drinking going on - maybe 2 or 3 so I hope this isn't going to be in every episode.
I think AA is needed in Korea and Japan like yesterday.
The piano music at the very start reminds me of that famous composer who composed Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, Ryuichi Sakamoto.
The piano has been pleasant to listen to throughout and I would buy it if it is ever made available to buy.
Am crossing my fingers that there will be one or two hit songs that will be good as Butterflies or Stay With Me. Even just one!
Early days yet so will be back to write more as only two episodes have been released so far.
