A lot of waiting, little reward

7 / 10

I really enjoyed the drama... up until perhaps the end. Although the outcome is predictable, I didn't find it satisfying. The two main characters get together literally in the last scene or so, and so the 10 episodes of waiting seemed... such a waste.

That being said, the plot was great, but it was the cast that made the drama work for me. I LUFF Kyon Kyon, and although I've seen Tokiwa, Takenouchi, and Kusanagi in various dramas before, the rest of the cast was new for me. I liked the idea of the Red Thread of Fate, and also how one can denounce it and continue to live one's life. The mix of personalities was good.

I don't know if I would recommend this drama. Although the bulk of it was enjoyable, I still felt it was a bit of a waste because I wanted more outcome in the end. But that's a personal peeve, so...
