Mayonaka no Ame

Will I remember Midnight Rain a few months from now? Probably not, but it was good while it lasted.

This is one of those dramas where the actors/actresses involved carry the show above anything else. Oda Yuji, Abe Hiroshi, and Ishiguro Ken are all actors I've admired in other dramas, and it was great to see all three of them play such different roles. This was my first drama with Matsuyuki Yasuko and I thought she was wonderful. She was so believable in her emotions and position that I felt only Nagatsuka Kyozo could match her episode after episode.

The story line is interesting, but I found the plot points a little too coincidental. Everything fit so flawlessly that this flawlessness became a loop hole.

Overall, good show, but I probably won't watch it again. It's great for those who like medical dramas, politics, and a little mystery.

Just a little over the top with electrical storms every day, even late fall in Tokyo.

This drama is one of the best I've seen, Yuji, Yasuko, Hiroshi and Kyozo make this a great watch keeping me hooked to the unravelling mystery. The filming for this series was very well done (something I usually don't feel too much of that in other series) and the music was definitely appropriate. Overall, with its nicely mysterious plotline, this is one of my favourite dramas ever!
