Nearly Perfect!
9 / 10Wynter · 2008
Because of the random plot twists (i.e. Ryoko sensei and the UFOs, random deaths, lack of closure, etc.) I can't dub this drama as being perfect. But then, what drama is?
I found this drama the type that sucks you right in through characters that seem like real people. I was completely blown away by Yoshioka Hidetaka and Nakajima Tomoko, who were both children in this series. They were amazing. Their acting was flawless and they really were just being kids on screen. Their interactions were so real I'm almost starting to wonder how much of the lines were actually scripted.
I must applaud Tanaka Kunie and Taeshita Keiko as well, along with the writer(s). Not one character, except Hotaru, was completely likable. Each character had undesirable flaws that really put me off, but regardless, I loved the drama. Even the flaws were welcome. Only a good writer can achieve such a dynamic for the viewer.
I highly recommend this drama. WATCH IT!
