Spring 2010
Sunao Ni Narenakute stars one of my favorite (and in my opinion) versatile actresses Ueno Juri. I think that it is rare to find a drama that is great from the first episode all the way to the end. Unfortunately this drama was not that type of drama, but nonetheless it was good overall. It felt awkward when all the main characters met together in person for the first time after being friends on Twitter. I guess that was the intention, but as their friendships gradually grew stronger, I realized that I was also getting more interested in the story as well. This drama was sure enough filled with complicated human dilemmas but in some ways I felt empty handed partially because some issues were abruptly resolved and some subplots never reached closure. There were some heart stopping moments that I didn't expect which made this drama a pretty exciting one though.
Recommendation: Although I didn't think the acting or the story was particularly great, it wasn't bad. I felt like the series was building up to a climactic ending that never really emerged, but strangely I wasn't disappointed in watching this drama. In other words, it was like buying a nice puzzle, that never came with all the pieces.
