Just watch this series.

I love how the series involve leadership and corruption here in the movie. I think it represents the society nowadays where there are a lot of injustices happening caused by the leaders and powerful ones victimizing the lower class in the society. It also shows the problem of having a puppet president who appears to be a leader yet powerless in front of the people. The series also shows how people’s minds and emotions can be swayed by words.
The chemistry between the two actors was shown on the few cheesy moments of the drama such as the indirect kiss scenes, hugging and consoling scenes. There’s a bonus at the last episode for you romantic people out there. I don’t want to elaborate since I want to spoil your moods in watching the series.

A Drama which is still relevent and has aged like fine wine.

Goods News despite being 2 decades older tackles the same issues concerning workplace harassment, but even more so good news by it's settings is more complicated. The woman, and man both have to come to terms with their respective social and economical differences and the addition of the single mother setting lends itself to a more human side to the story. Relationships are complex and life is complicated. People don't live in vacuum, there are intricate relations which they have to balance as well as their personal believes and morals. Every single action effects multiple people, even if not directly. This is depicted realistically. This is a very realistic portrayal of how in the modern society women have to degrade themselves, choose between being a mother and a woman, and the scrutiny she faces choosing a man who might be less accomplished and younger than her but respects and comforts her. This is truly ahead of its time and sadly to this day a reality of many women.

The ultimate shojo drama.

This is the ultimate shojo drama, despite its age, its immanence popularity to this day confirms that. Its a drama about friendship, about coming together and also learning to accept yourself. A very human drama. At its core Nobuta wo produce is a fairly straightforward story and in such narratives, it is essential that the characterization of the main characters are well rounded, in cases where neither are applied, the burden falls entirely on the actors ability to convey strong emotions to the audience. We should FeEl since there isn't much to think. This is where the actors shine for me honestly. In most shojo adaptations, since its usually written from a maiden perspective, the male leads are often written as perfect, almost porcelain statues. In mangas it works out because the writer effectively portrays the human side of such male protags but in shojo adaptations, they usually appear rather bland. some classic examples of good actors appearing bland due to the character would be Furukawa Yuki, Yamazaki Kento and Shuhei Nomurato name a few turn into pure card-boards with zero personality. They are good actors but the writing restricts them. Kamenashi Kazuya's character in this drama as such. He could have easily played Shunji like a cardboard, but Kamenashi's ability to balance the coolness and the human aspect of such a character. I have noticed this in many of his other works, he is extremely good a emoting. Even simple emotions he can portray effectively to the audience. Maki does a wonderful job with the empty combination of prejudiced stereotypes. beautiful jdorama. A puure classic.

Worth a watch

This drama was originally not a popcorn drama or a brain hole drama. It was a propaganda drama filmed by nhk in line with the introduction of the "campus lawyer" system in April. It talks about actual educational scenes, and Japanese people find it very interesting. Significance, 30-60 generations are happy to see. The ratings are safe!

Stylish and sappy

This is a superb film. It is amazing what other parts of the world can achieve on so little a budget, but more on that below.

Last Letter is stylish and sappy at the same time, yet overall is a clear winner that tugs at the heart and does not let go throughout despite the sharp tempo breaks that change focus of the film every thirty minutes. The acting is incredible. The story is original. The girls are beautiful and unlike American ones not into nose rings and tattoos on thunder thighs. They also act incredibly mature, thanks to the script and also because they play younger characters than their age, for teenagers.

A romantic drama, the film centers on what is ostensibly a case of a misrepresentation and mistaken identity wrapped in a fast forward button of many years.It will make you laugh before making you cry and then subsequently making you smile.
