Fan reviews: Yoshitsune

Good taiga dorama, takizawa was extremely good.

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.

I never like historical dramas, I started watching this one simply becausel of Takki.. wow, amazingly, a young hearthrob like him translate the role extraordinary good!! He acts natuarally, and not exagerrately (as many 'd do when performing a historical role)

Being at the middle of the story, I can say this drama is really something. beginning with the scenaries, the costumes, the language, everything takes the viewer to another world, the world of ancient Japan. talking about the story, this is interesting and touching. To see how the war for power was developed, but at the same time been able to understand the deep feelings of those who were involved, itLs amazing. The relationships among all the characters further than the battlefield, the hopes and dreams of the great warriors, the problems inside the clans... great.
Now, talking about the actors, Takki is making a terrific job as Yoshitsune. This is a hero with a big heart and charisma that attracts everyone to him. The rest (there are so many characters!!!!) is outstandig also.
CanLt wait to see all of it!!!

I am still watching but I am impressed so far with the acting. Still have not seen much in the way of action. The drama has the feeling that it is building to something but so far has not really delivered much intensity. I felt the same about Shinsengumi. Both feature emphasis on personal relationships and motivations for actions rather than action itself. Still it is interesting.

Actually... I've only seen four episodes... with a lot of confusion... due to my really bad Japanese.. and their usage of olden day language... but i've already cried once...haha... but it's a must watch... if you like History dramas... It's very interesting... i've heard Yoshitsune has big buget so this drama should be really really good as the storyline gets more intense.... (sorry this is my first time writing reviews so really not sure what I should right..^^;)

Tackey just appeared in the third episode but i am already giving this dorama a 10. Not very big on taigas but with Tackey on it plus the great cast, it's definitely going to be fantastic. I know that it's gonna run for a year so I have to congratulate the whole cast for putting so much effort and love on it. I am actually looking forward to watching the next episodes.
