Apparently NHK's Sakura has done a lot of pissing people off as another member here had commented upon the rampant stereotyping in the show. I found it to be rather enjoyable regardless, if not terribly unrealistic.
Here's an article on the negative reactions caused by the show in Japan:

Shek, thanks for the spoilers on the end of the series. I can help you with the beginning since I have been watching it regularly. Sakura and Katsuragi met at school, in that dormitory where Katsuragi now lives. At first Sakura lived there also, and they were always fighting. They kind of bonded a little bit over the goldfish (from her grandfather in Tokyo) but that was the extent of it. Katsuragi was kind of mean to her at first. When she made contact with that family and she kind of invited herself to stay with them for a year (yeah, right!) she was kind of glad to move out.
I'm not quite sure what winter trip you're referring to, but earlier in the series Katsuragi asked Sakura to pose as his fiance and go with him on a trip to his hometown (which Sakura has planned to visit anyway due to an annual festival). He wanted an excuse to keep his mother from fixing him up with omaii (sp). It turned out really awkward because Katsuragi didn't tell his mother he was bringing a "fiance" home and she had an omaii waiting for him as he arrived, which turned out to be with an ex-girlfriend that Katsuragi still had feelings for. In spite of the surprise, his mother really loved Sakura and Sakura really liked her but felt really bad about lying to her like that. His mother gave Sakura some family heirlooms which brought Sakura to the point of insisting that Katsuragi tell her the truth. In the end Mom seemed disappointed and later tried to hint to her son that maybe there could be something real between them. That is about the point in the series when circumstances always seemed to be matching them up and it really seemed like they could be good together. Before this point in the series I didn't like Katsuragi very much because he always seemed cold and aloof. After this series you started to see more about what makes him tick when he talked about his old girlfriend and why they broke up, she got in some kind of accident and he couldn't protect her. I forget the details... anyway, hope this helps!
I agree with the previous poster, getting these episodes once a week is like torture! The series just drag on and on.... Do you know if what they broadcast is actually just one episode though? I heard that the original episodes are 15 minutes long, and they broadcast these morning dramas for approx half an hour. Sometimes it seems like maybe they took two episodes and spliced them together because you get a little recap halfway through...
Kathy
