Nacu no koi wa nidžiiro ni kagajaku

I might have enjoyed it more if MatsuJun wasn't in it, even though he's the reason I started watching it in the first place. I was in the mood for some Storm. ^^ I felt like he was playing the same thing he played five years before in Boys Over Flowers, and that wasn't "great" for me. With some actors, I don't mind repetition at all, but with him in particular, the poor guy, and here, I found it distracting. The opening by Arashi wasn't that great either, I skipped it with glee. It was so strange, watching a show with elements that totally annoyed me, to the point where I wondered if I'd even finish it, and then – suddenly – there was a scene that was so sweet, so awesome, so well done, that I thought, “why not give it another chance?". It's not bad, it's for leisure watching (no goosebumps, no jonesing for the next episode, with MatsuJun and Yuko (from Be with You, where I liked her as a mother better )). One thing I did take away from the series, though, is the reassurance: "Japanese people are indeed sensitive." (17.07.2011)
