The background of the story is very interesting, related to japanese traditional confectionnery which will make you eager to taste those sweets ? plus you ll have the chance to see casts with hakamas and kimonos, feast to the eyes ?
A mystery romance genre. Kind of complicated ones. I was really curious to see how the two main lead with reasonable and understandable love and hate relationship would lead their story and to see the one who started to ignite the long trail of messy tragedies. It is really a cursed love.
I watched 3 episodes with enthusiastic, however kind of dissapointed with eps 4 plot, I even consider to drop it. But then I decided to continue the eps 5. The mood was coming back again and the story went greatly after that.
I really like the fact in eps 8 the duration was longer than previous episodes to accomodate the need. So it's not feel rushed. All were peeled off in the final eps very satisfactory.
For the casts, the actors are the power of the dorama I think, such as Tsubaki, Jojima, Takigawa all were played well. Their acts and body gesture were great. For the actress I do agree that Madam kougetsuan chara was powerfull act in the dorama. I like the personification of Nao as well, but I was hoping she could be bolder than that. While actually in the beginning of the episode, she did bolder but in latter episodes the character was a bit of off the hook.
Overall it is still a very highly reccomended dorama to watch, enjoy ?
