Sakura

The main spices of this otherwise bland asadora are its beautiful locations and the "Will he, won't he?" that'll keeps you guessing to the end. A piece of trivia: Mr. Will-He-Won't-He is the son of music conductor Osawa Seiji.

I enjoyed watching the drama for the most part. It was nothing very exciting but featured a nice little town with a diverse group of people. The focus was on a Japanese American woman who went to Japan to teach and make a cultural bridge. The acting was cheesy the side stories were strange but the show had a good heart. I would recomend it if you have spare time and can still find it playing.

A decent show. The plot is based around a young woman named Sakura who is a 3rd generation Japanese American living in Hawaii. Sakura moves to Japan to teach which allows her the chance to learn about her ancestry. She ends up living in a very traditional Japanese style house with a large family of interesting characters. The family business is making candles. Sakura learns about the wonders of the beautiful Hida area of Japan while having various adventures as she relentlessly tries to help everyone she meets with their problems.

The series is guilty of some rea overacting but it is done in a fun goofy way. I enjoyed. It is a bit long though.
