Despite all the caution I might have wanted to exercise (I must confess I was quite worried that this might end up being another victim of the "westernization" of the Jdrama scene [*]), still I got drawn in right away by the perfect photography, by the very good acting, by the lovely music,
and last but not least by the sheer beauty of the afore-mentioned "bijin" gracing the ending credits - Kamishiraishi Mone and Toda Naho (BTW, the latter must have a portrait, hidden somewhere in her attic, which ages in her place; no, seriously, she's basically as attractive now as she was in "Shomuni", two whole decades earlier! I'm impressed - and hopelessly charmed, of course). Perfect 10!
[*] of course I should've known better than to fear anything like that from NHK, which instead managed to deliver a modern but at the same time loyal rendition of this traditional tale.

Beautiful story
I am a fan of folklores and kaidan basically means ghost stories ( bewitching tales) so its only natural i loved it. It is simply beautiful. I love where there is an actual story instead of shit load of drama and philosophy to compensate for the lack of story. Plus just in 4 episodes they were able to create deep characters which speaks a lot about brilliant acting by the whole cast. Every character is dealt with a lot of thought and is given full justice. It gives the feel as if you are watching a stage play which it was also written as originally and i don't think it is its first tv adaptation as it is a popular story in Japan.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
