That Winter, the Wind Blows Episode 1
4 people found this review helpful
As much as I respect JIS as an actor, SHK as her past bias fangirl, and as much as I respect the big name of the writer, at first I refuse to watch this simply because I thought it'd be cheesy (unless I'm mistaken, the initial title was indeed very cheesy).. But this first episode really caught my interest from the very first opening scene. The cinematography was very beautiful, and there was so much happening in just a single episode.
*I raise the score from 9.5 to 10 because after some consideration, it IS that good.

I think I started to fall for this drama. Suzuki character is kinda weird (I'm indifferent to him), but all in all an interesting take to "school dramas". Well, perhaps not really a school drama but either way, I adore the "koala senpai" so much already! (I think his name is Uchi?). He's cute!! I hope he will get decent screentime in the future.

That Winter, the Wind Blows Episode 3

The 2nd & 3rd episode were not as great as the 1st. The 1st one was standout with its full packed nature and gorgeous directing, but the next two were felt like ordinary dramas. Well, not that ordinary, but not that excellent anymore. Still a good watch though..

The winter sonata thingy was very funny! Not to forget another touching story behind the investigation.. Worth watching!

First thing first, so funny!! I smiled alot and LOLed literally at the secret declaration scenes. I also loved the random scenes they added here and there (The chef's and the tourist's scenes). The story behind the investigation perhaps was not as good & touching as the previous episodes but I think the editing is getting better, and it makes the overall episode became a more entertaining show.

way funnier than the 1st episode! It's still dealing with independent investigation & some touching phsysological drama.

It was like *watching* a shounen/seinen manga (in dorama version) and I mean it in a good way (but actually -I found this later- it was indeed based on a seinen manga!). At first look, this could be seen as comedy (thanks to Robo the weirdo by Matsuyama), but the main issue here was not it. It was more about a hint of mystery (detective like, but not really detective) and somewhat drama (psychology). I like how they deal with Mikabozu, esp the ending. it was nice yet realistic.
