i used to watch this series with my mom when it was shown back years ago in my country. it was shown half way through then it stopped. they continued after a few years, sadly my mom passed away before they start showing it again.

But this dorama is the best... out of all dorama or any other tv series i ever watched and i just got it with englis sub (after all this years).

Tale of a woman's life from 8 to 80 years (to be exact, 6 to 84). The Chinese version of this drama was titled "Ah(1) Xin(4)".

I watched only about 30 or so episodes of this in India when I was a kid. I really liked it and I want to find out if there is an affordable way to get all 297 episodes of this classic on vcd or dvd.

My very first Japanese drama. I don't think I saw all of it but saw the early episodes when Oshin was still young. I remember loving her dearly and feeling sorry for her at the same time. Wow, that was back in 1994!

My FIRST ever Japanese drama!! An absolute classic. Love the first and the second part. Didin't quite like the part after the war or the 'elder' part though...
27. Comments by aoi_dolphine [Rating: 10/10]
This was the very first drama which I have seen. It's still so vividly clear to me. Oshin charater is a very strong will person who is determined when she set out her goal. This will be one of the classic in my list.

I love this jdorama so much!

Nothing compared to this one and only morning dramas ever aired. It dubbed in so many languages and nobody could even remember. My country, Indonesia, is one of them. The dramas took away people's attention as they had breakfast or as they prepared to go to work in the morning. The emotional and moral value of this story is so huge that it became, I think, the first Japanese drama that captured the attention of ppl in my country.

My 1st J-dorama! Didn't remember the stories because way back 20 years ago, but I remember it was very long, inspired, emotional and touching drama about love and life hardship. Have special slot in my memory becoz watching it with my beloved grandma who have passed away. Both my parent also used to love this J-drama. Must see!
