This was my second attempt at watching this drama. The first
time, I didn’t like the opening because it was too dark for my liking at that
time. The second time, I still didn’t
like the opening but trudged on through because of all the year-end awards it
got. I mean there had to be something
about that drama that got mass attention, right? Otherwise, I would have missed
out on Kaseifu no Mita.
N no Tame Ni was a pleasant surprise for how light it actually was contrary to its dark premise and dark undertone. I was happy that my
ship never sank. More into the narrative, it wasn’t as brilliant as I had hoped
but the interconnection between each scenes and the intricateness of each
character’s resolve was tied neatly to one another making this an interesting
watch that reeled me in one episode after another. I will definitely be keeping tabs on Kubota Masataka’s and Eikura Nana’s
future projects.
One more thing! For those looking for an alternative ending, this review might give you a little hope.
