The best drama series from Japan in years! Highly recommended!
I am in love with this series, I watched it 3 times till now. I would love to know the recipes of dishes given.
Love from India.
this series baffles my mind, most unrelatable stuff ever. because teenagers aren't happy shoveling snow while recounting the fun they had shoveling snow. not a teenager in the world finds these girls relatable at all. there is no real character developement. not one hard challenge was had to be overcome by these girls. they all had some sort of lobotomy attitude overall, which was uncanny. and the main character feels even the most disturbed. she's always smiling being everyones cook/slave and all she does is laugh about it. i was waiting for her to flip and poison everyone, but no. everyone is smiling all the time, makes it feel like im reading completely different subtitles. people are straightforward with snarky comments and every girl takes it with a smile. the series make the girls feel like showmonkeys, npc's that reset because of lame ai. the decor beautiful to look at but this was bad.
this is a show for adult dudes. because i see no other people fantasize about well behaved, obedient, happy to shovel snow in the morning, teenage girls that are apparently all waiting for love. this is not how women behave, or should. they at least need more emotions. more rage, or at least believable dialogue.
does this dude get paid for talking up this show or does he really not see?
5 out of 5 for me. Absolutely beautiful and humanizing, mesmerizing visually.
This series is a delight. It inspired me to make a kanzashi hair pin for my daughter-in-law Masako. for one of my channel projects.
I gave it a 5 out of 5 too. I loved this show!! I hope there will be a season 2.
