Worth some time
9 / 10Eve · 2005
Deeply moving, with first rate performances by Tokiwa and Takenouchi, defines this based on a true story drama as a not to be missed classic. It is subtle not flashy so if you are looking for something snappy go elsewhere.
Worth Watching!

Yutaka did an amazing job transforming himself for this role!!! It was such a treat & even funny to hear Takenouchi Yutaka & Tokiwa Takako speaking thick-accent Mandarin, especaily Yutaka, his hardwork paid off & pronouciation really progressed in each episode. (if only he was bilingual like Takashi Kaneshiro... ) The first episode was a bit hard to follow with a lot of historic introduction but when story took off, it was really touching....
