The jdrama that changed my mind about jdramas
In the past, I've struggled (and failed) to get into jdramas for a variety of reasons. I'm terribly impatient and picky about which dramas I watch, so it takes A LOT for me to invest time in one. Which is why I'm surprised by how taken I was with this drama.
TnS is yes, a predictable story with some loopholes but it has just a few episodes. The leads nail their parts of playing two people weathering a 20-year age gap between them, and they do so adroitly and charmingly. There's also just enough tension in the story to keep one's interest. I also appreciated two things in TnS which I find very important in an Asian drama:
> the story deals with a married couple, and the treatment of their intimate scenes was done tastefully and REALISTICALLY. (No spoilers, please watch to understand what I mean). It was a terrific change to not have to dumb down this aspect especially since I left high school decades ago.
>I am glad that there was enough care put into the clothing and style of the actors. Everyone dressed their age and acted accordingly. It was refreshing and appealing.
Anyway, I'm hoping you give this show a try. All dramas ask us to suspend disbelief to a point, this one included, but I enjoyed the ride. Hope you will too.
