Toshiie to Matsu

One of the best Taiga dramas that I have seen. As always an amazing cast but the way the story was woven together was simply perfect.

This and Musashi are my two favorite taiga dramas. An amazing cast and outstanding story. Although the main focus was on Maeda Toshiie (Inu) the story covered Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Iieyasu very well and the intereaction and life of all the major players during the unification of Japan and warring era. Also the interaction between Mataza and his wife the famous Matsu was outstanding.

Amazing cast interesting story lots of action what more can you ask for?

This period drama has a top-notch cast and a plot that continually engaging, but Matsushima Nanako holds the whole thing together as the wife of a minor general during the era of the Warring States. We come into contact with all of the major figures of the time, and one or two stretches are genuinely touching. You'll never forget Matsu's, "I'll take care of it" - an assurance that holds her clan together time after time.

This is more of a family drama, and so may not have as man of the breathtaking fights as the most successful period dramas. This works on a lower key, but still quite competent.
