Marry Him If You Dare Episode 3
3 people found this review helpful
The episode was good, really, I loved it. But why do it the easy way ?
Why is he suddenly having a dream of what their live could have been and wake up with feeling for her. This is great, but this is way too easy. Now he loves her, and we will never know how their relationship would have evolved if they kept being enemies the way they used to! This twist is a bit disapointing, but it's only the 3rd episode, many things can happen.
I'm looking forward to watching episode 4 !

I'm being honest here, I'm watching is for Miura Haruma. I'm not a fan of the Love-me-I'm-Dying genre.
But honestly, this drama starts with a quite good first episode.
I like the fact that the main character already has issues BEFORE the disease kicks in. Also, he's not the perfect, shiny character who's going to be the bravest victime of all time I can feel it. So that's also nice.
I like his relationship with Megumi, those two really have something going on.
I also like the fact that his family doesn't seem perfect (his parents actually forced him to take his little brother under his own roof, as if it was the natural thing to do).
However, I don't like the fact that his family is already focused on everything medical (father owns a hospital, brother in med school, his own childhoon dream was to be a doctor). That's too convenient.
And I don't like the falling in slow motion with the violins playing in the background. We know this is a Disease Drama, and we need no reminder of it.
So, overall, a nice start. I'll keep watching. ^^

Taisetsu na Koto wa Subete Kimi ga Oshiete Kureta Episode 1
1 people found this review helpful
Really, it's been a long time since I've been hooked by a School J-drama on 1 Episode !
The first 16 minutes are exceptionnal. This sequence goes fast, its intense and compelling (I was so hooked I hardly even blinked !)
I must also say that the acting in this first episode is brilliant.
I don't know how this drama is going to turn out, but this first episode gave me no choice : I have to find out.

I find myself having trouble liking this drama. The main female lead isn't a likable as I expected her to be and I have yet to see any sincerity in any of the characters. Be it the dialogs, the situations or the acting, to me it all still seems a bit fake.
Even half-naked Miura Haruma couldn't make me overlook the fact that this episode was quite boring.
And, okay, I know that (SPOILER ALERT)
**Hiroto doesn't actually care for Sakura, but still, there were hundreds of way to make this kiss scene better.**
I just hope this is the only episode like that.

It was a good episode...Only the characters introduced here are not the main characters the story is also secondary, or more like a prequel to the actual drama plot.
I just wish it's not going to take too long...we only have 24 episodes here.
Also, I like the celtic-like english sountrack, it's not something you hear too often in a K-drama and I find it quite fitting in the fantasy scenes.

So, in this episode some character get the truth : the Best Fried, the Coworkers, and finally the Mom (followed by the Brother who walked in the room when her panic bursts)
I really love the best friend : he's an angel. He makes a cute couple with hina. And he treats Takuto normally even after knowing the truth. He really respect his privacy, and it's not easy to do that when a friend is sick, I know something about it. He's not distant or cold, but he's not intruding either. That character was really well written. Plus he lighten the atmosphere. After seing his here and in Soredemo Ikite Yuku, I can say that this is an incredible actor.
The mother's reaction both moved me and annoyed me. She is already making this about the Father, and she already wants to control everything. Which was to me expected, she a mom, and she's THAT kind of moms so...but I keep getting irritated.
Now the brother : we know he skipped school to go to a dinosaur museum. Not your first choice of runaway destination don't you think ? Did he finally realize he hates medicine ?
We know more in the next episode.
Also, I hate that Megu is accepting that guys. I don't like him, he doesn't seem trustworthy. If he was really to snatch her from Takuto, what makes you think he won't snatch another girl from someone else, huh ? Silly Girl.
I secreatly wanted her to be pregnant with Takuto's child, but that's not happening so...
Still love the drama !

This episode scared me a bit.
Because I can see that his friend wants to take Megu away, and now he even has his blessing so I don't se what could stop him. Also, I was scared in the end of the episode because I thought that the piano music in the cross road would make him try to kill himself.
Piano ! Let's talk about it. Not to metion the utter cuteness of MH playing the piano, this scene was so flashback material. They really look good together, they really are two great actors and their characters are so interesting and sweet together I love them...(this drama will break my heart).
But why was the piano there in the first place ? For his little brother. It seemed that they are more alike that they'd think : both have problem and none will talk about it. It seems to me that his little brother has social issues, and doesn't have much friends. Someone just doesn't repeat the phrase "Do you feel inferior to me?" so often without having his own self-esteem issues.
The breakup scene was awful, I really thought I'd cry. But why, WHY didn't she insist more than that ! Darn that girl ! And why cry in his friend's arm! And you, why do you hug her ! I hate you !!!
Anyway great episode. Now I'm craving hommade white bread sandwiches...

I have to say that I was really impressed by this episode.
As he learns about his disease, the music playing isn't one of "how sad" but more one of "how scary". It's actually quite a stressful OST.
I like the fact that he hears about his disease alone, not with his family, and it's his choice to say it or not to say it to other people. So right now he's not telling. In the first half, it feels like it's not real to him. He even plans on going to an onsen, which are good for your health, maybe hoping it will solve the problem.
I told you my one of my previous reviews that MH is really good at portraying fear. Well this episode is really a good example of that. You can really see the panic growing stronger within the episode. Fist is the look on his face when he finally can open his bottle of tea , next is when he calls his father, then during the dinner with Megu and the FMACouple,
So I'm really glad he has someone like Megu. Even though I'd say it's a bit convenient to make her a nurse...but well...That hug scene was really touching, I think that's the first time I almost cried in this drama.
The scene of bargaining with the doctor was really well done. I like that there is no music, no crying and no "it's unfair, I'm so young". It's actually quite realistic. He tries to be strong, to smile (even though he snaps). You can see the anger, the fear, and the saddness even without any pitiful crying. Just because MH is really such a good actor. When he discribe how worthless he is while smiling, I really thought I was going to cry.
No, when I cried is at the end of the episode when he eat his chicken and his panic burst out. It's really a moving scene, and the acting is really, really impressive. What''s even more moving is that it's the fear that makes him cry, not the self-pity.
So, for the acting, I give the episode a 10.

1 - Shower scene in the first 10 minutes of the episode...because just because it's a Disease Drama doesn't mean it has to be all gross and scary. S-H-O-W-E-R S-C-E-N-E.
2 - I love their friends. I'll call them the FullMetal Alchemist Couple. They are so cute together. But I don't like the other one, the tall one, it's obvious he's up to something, I just don't know what.
3 - So, life is still full of issues, but it's smart, you get the main idea : the expectation, the pressure and the competition at work are so intense, that a sick person could easily be thrown away like trash. Plus he did a health check-up before entering his company (In france, this doesn't happen, that I know of...I was really sickened by this).
4 - I like that he finds out about his disease online but doesn't believe it at first, thinking that he's being paranoid. But you can already see that the way the disease is frightening him (MH really has a gift for portraying fear, don't you think?)
5 - I REALLY love the romance. I'm glad because you don't usually have that kind of high quality romance in such drama. Even in 1 Litre of Tears. That scene when she's waiting for the bus and he's giving her one hell of puppy eyes' look to make her stay was just ...and the scene just after that, with the brother walking in the room...I really laughed a lot.
6 - I HATE his brother. Not only he's being a burden (give me this, buy that), but he's also very conceited. If I were him, I'd tell him "GTFO of my house !"...but no, the precious little brother must study medecine in peace while his good-for-nothing brother "kind of" help people.
7 - Last but not least : an Interesting 2nd Shower Scene ! Let's be honest, they could have done that scene in his pj before he sleeps, but no, here we've got a 2nd shower scene with even more MH to see.
So, overall, a great episode.

I have nothing to say, except : this is incredible. It's not a drama, but more like a full 2 hours movie separated in two.
It's very well directed, the location is beautiful, the cast well chosen and the acting great. With Eita as the lead, this was to be expected, but even the supporting cast is doing a great job.
Don't overlook this just because it's about a hospital. This is really good.
A part that I liked more than the others ? The shampoo scene. It was a fangirl moment. ^^
