This "Kaidanshita no Gogh" is yet another dorama that I've watched out of my love for Tanabe Momoko, although the synopsis didn't sound like my cup of tea (I'm no big fan of art, particularly *modern* art, and the fact that I've briefly worked in that field and therefore got to know a lil' bit of the "behind the scenes" of it all surely doesn't help either - but that's another story entirely).
I also didn't really like the first episode(s), that made me think "Oh, boy, here's the Nth series with the *curt male lead*...at least he's no CEO so glass half full I guess".
But I'm happy I didn't drop it there, as the story slowly but surely picked up and became a lot deeper and much nicer than I had expected.
The cast did well (some better than others), the "packaging" was totally OK.
It should be more of a 7.5 but since I don't do decimals (an old habit I kept from jdorama.com where they weren't used!) I'll raise that grade to 8! ^___-
