Sometimes it may be an unexpected person or a minor trifle, the Laben a person can change!
One should not equal übersturen and hope the same will lose!
So, life is a daily struggle, much Gluck is!

After having seen the first season, I was a little disappointed with some of the episodes in this drama.
The first episode was fine, if a bit heavy. It was interesting to see Ishihara Satomi in a serious, angst-ridden role. I thought she pulled it off nicely, although her innocent face belied the harshness of her character. The second and third episodes were not as good. I found them rushed and filled with too much plot. The actresses werenft the problem; it was moreso the actual storyline and female characters for both episodes. In this second season I noticed that there was more of an element of surprise, where the stories would twist to reveal new and interesting information. In the second and third episodes, this surprise was lost in all the events the writer was trying to pack in. Both episodes quickly lost their appeal, not helped by the annoying, selfish female characters.
The one saving grace for this season was the last episode. It reminded me vaguely of a more dark, serious version of the drama Seikei Bijin. This was my first time seeing Karina and I was thoroughly impressed. The moral behind the story was solid and appropriate, and the talent was perfect. The plot played itself out beautifully and I truly felt for the female character. This episode alone excuses the disaster that was episode two and three.
Although I wasnft impressed with this season as much as I was with the first, it did have two episodes worth watching again.
