Mother

I don't see them waiting that long. But does NTV do much in terms of SPs?

Yeah, the little girl proved she has talent and lots of potential.

Mother OST

Oh I really want to see this!

Reviving this thread since I just started watching it, up thru episode 4 so far.

Everybody talks about Mana Ashida, and justifiably so, but I think Yuko Tanaka has just been outstanding!! I have always liked her going clear back to Oshin, but in this drama she's able to convey more emotions without saying a word than anybody I've seen in a long time!! :applaud:

I like how they devoted most of episode 8 to showing us Rena/Tsugumi's earlier life and why her Mom turned out the way she did. Ono Machiko is very good showing the change in her. Doesn't excuse what she did, but it would have been easy to just paint that character as a one-dimensional low-life bitch and leave it at that. Good job by the writer! :applaud:

Just in case, if you haven't seen it, check The Milkwoman: http://asianwiki.com/The_Milkwoman.
Tanaka Yuko = bloody brilliant in that beautiful movie.

^ Thanks for the rec, I will look it up. :say_thanx:

Finished "Mother", it was every bit as good as people said it was. Quite a ride. :applaud:
