A very realistic drama. Great work of writers, directors, artists and actors. It just bothered me that some characters are too hot-tempered. Especially Tsumabuki Satoshi's. I thought that he was so much over-hot-tempered, and may be overplaying. In my opinion, this drama would be as awesome as Soredemo Ikite Yuku if some of the cast didn't overplay. Well, but that's just small flaws. I still admit that everybody acted good enough. Acting of Eita and Mitsushima Hikari is great and the best of all the cast in both Wakamonotachi and Soredemo ikie yuku. This drama is more like a good realistic movie. Though it has 11 hours. There is nothing about artificial, glamour or tidy feelings like in the most of asian dramas and movies. Just naked reality is here. It was a honor for me to see that super popular, beautiful actors didn't hesitate to be ugly (with they look and behavior) playing in this drama. I started to respect them even more. It's so realistic that gives cold creeps to my skin, and that I could easily imagine myself there in their story. The story is so simple that I'd say there is almost no any story, but just everyday life, interactions, problems, joys, wisdoms, mistakes, friendship, love, support and fight. And they DID make it look really exciting, catchy and interesting. They show strong family bond and friendship that make them feel safe and not alone in this world. I even felt envy (in good way) and a bit sad that I don't have that kind of family. Because this family is something better than a usual family - they are relief, support, friends for each other. I think this is because they are brothers and sister living without parents since childhood - not much of hierarchy, almost similar age, same generation. They teach each other to be better persons. So it's exciting to follow how their relationships go and develop. Well, it's not possible just to -swallow- this drama in one-two days. It would be difficult or even boring. This drama is not so easy to watch, because it is more the kind of deep work than entertaining show. It's enriched with strong emotions and thoughts. It took one month for me, I needed some breaks while watching.
