Ep21, just one comment to sum up: O-NE rocks!!! :metaldevil: Ohtake Shinobu rocks!! Love her acting performance so much in this ep! Thank goodness, the story is not focusing on Hideyoshi-Chacha, but more of how Gou cannot accept the fact of the new couple. So I enjoyed this week's ep alot more.

Spoiler — click to reveal

Loving One's expressions when Hideyoshi told him abt Chacha being his concubine, also when he told her that Chacha is pregnant with his child. I always like One/Nene more than Chacha in other adaptations, but it is probably bcoz in most adaptations Chacha is depicted as an evil woman, but apparently it is not an exception for this adaptation too. I still love One the best! :good: I guess it is because One had been there by Hideyoshi's side since the poor life, since the beginning of Hideyoshi's career, and she had been struggling so much for Hideyoshi, supporting him and all, she's really THE WIFE, and yet she can't have his child, I feel kawaisou for her.
Also... I like that in every adaptation, One is absolutely fine about the other concubines, but she fear Chacha, feels jealous with Chacha, and some adaptations have One hates Chacha to the core^^
I love the scene when Chacha said, "No matter which house this child is born at, this baby is my child,". Then One firmly stated to Chacha, "Please remember! Even if the baby is your child, but the baby is also a Toyotomi child! My duty is to protect the Toyotomi house. Your duty is to give birth and raise the Toyotomi child." Great line by One! :applaud:
I also love the heart-to-heart conversation between Gou and One, they're both avoiding Chacha although for different reasons and at different positions.

Next week's preview!! So romantic already! Hidetada and Gou are gazing at the falling snow on different places??? :inlove: I'm so curious, whose portraits are those?? Nagamasa and Ichi?

Comments:
Starting Ep22, seem like war talks will start again. (after so many eps focusing on Hideyoshi-Chacha's romance :sweat: )

Hatsu might not appear at all in Ep23-25, as she is not mentioned at all in those 3 eps detailed synopsis.

Hidetada is not mentioned at all in Ep25, and he seem to have very little screentime in Ep24-27.

I like how Gou and Hidekatsu's love blooms in Ep25, I think the script is very good. I like that Rikyu's death triggered their romance. I can feel Gou's love for Hidekatsu and I feel very sad reading synopsis for Ep26. But of course it still depends on whether or not Ueno Juri and AKIRA would be able to bloom that chemistry or not.

On the other hand, I'm kind of disappointed with Gou and Hidetada's romance development. Ep23-27, even with those little screentimes (except Ep23), I'm very satisfied with all Hidetada's scene, esp. how Sada misunderstood him as her father. But the development after their marriage seem less intensed than Gou-Hidekatsu's romance. Gou-Hidetada in the novel is more intensed and more romantic.
But then again, even if what's in the book are very detailed synopsis, I'm still hoping that it left out some other scenes, and of course it's all back to how Ueno Juri and Mukai Osamu performed the scenes... so I'm still hopeful XD
