NHK always puts together a first rate cast for their Taiga drama's and Yoshitsune was no exception. The story is famous and it was shot beautifully. It was not my favorite taiga but it was very good. I recently watched it again and it grew on me a little more.

Very enjoyable cast especially the supporting cast I felt Tetsuya Watari really brought to life Tairano Kiyomori for example. (I took a trip over to Miyajima just to see the Kiyomori shine.) Yoshitsune is a very famous person and this was an interesting different perspective on his life and death. Elements of the later really contradict a lot of what I have read in history books but it was interesting. With that said I felt a little let down with the overall pace of the show. It felt like it dragged in parts and introduced a lot of people that added nothing to the story line and then it abandoned them without follow-up they just sort of go away. If I had not seen other Taiga drama's that are better I would have given this a higher rating but I know NHK can do better.
