[DISCUSSION] Kono yo no Hate
[DISCUSSION] Kono yo no Hate
I'm creating this topic for people who are watching this series and want to discuss the various subject matters. The series is very depressing, as well as being unconventional when compared to other dramas - both back then and today. Which is why I uploaded the series in the first place.
I've watched this series three times - the third time as I'm ripping them for uploading to D-Addicts. So the entire series is very fresh in my head, and I can explain things when questions come up.
Remember that people are watching this series at different rates. So when discussing a situation that could potentially be a spoiler, please use the spoiler tags.

Thanks Groink, and thanks for the upload of the series. I tend to watch series all at once, so I haven't started watching yet as you are still releasing it. However, as you have indicated, it is on the depressing side. Is it so depressing that perhaps watching it all at once is not a good idea? If so, I will start watching bit by bit.
The first time I watched it was when it aired live in 1995. Waiting each week for the next episode was torture. If you do decide to watch it all in one sitting, I'd make sure you watch the last episode just before you go to bed. Then that way, when you wake up the next day you won't feel in the dumps like you did the prior night. One of my friends also watched the series eons ago... He said that after completing the series, he felt very empty - as if all the problems he had prior to watching the series was NOTHING by comparison to what Maria went through. And he was seriously in the dumps for a few weeks. I kid ya not!doramafreak wrote:Thanks Groink, and thanks for the upload of the series.

As for me, I got over it by the next day. Oshin had me in the dumps for days, but probably because it was based on real life, while Maria is only a fictional character.
There's no way you can watch it bit-by-bit if you already have all the episodes. You're going to watch one episode, attempt to do something else, and then end up watching the next episode. And the cycle will continue until end. I'm torturing everyone on D-Addicts on purpose with these one ep per week uploads - to get them the same torture I experienced when I originally recorded the episodes.

Oh wow,
Only up to ep 4 right now, but I have to say, this drama is really great - dark as hell - but I am 'enjoying' it if that is the right word. Thanks again for uploading it Groink. I am trying to pace myself in watching the episodes, but it just becomes compelling - you're absolutely right. I suspect I will be back here at the computer in no time!
EDIT: I've just proved you right. I kept trying to pace myself through the episodes, and of course that didn't happen because of how compelling it is. Just watched episode 10, and I can see just how torturous it must have been for you to wait for it every week! (Please don't interpret this as rushing you for the other episodes, because that isn't my intent - I'll wait patiently and enjoy the torture because it will make seeing the next episode all that more special).

Nope, you're not the only one....I watched all episodes from one to ten last Monday 9/10/07 and I was totally feeling so empty after watching them....my mind just went blank and numb like; that's why I made the comment on the torrent page that this dorama totally blow my mind.... OFF TOPIC: But then I was also thinking if that feeling just had to do with the recent tragic that I experienced just recently and was finally wrapped up last 9/06/07....went to the grave yard last Sunday after mass service and I felt that same empty, blank, numb like feeling again....so I'm not gonna watch the rest of the drama for now....gonna wait for a few months to watch it again and complete it to see how it really is, and to formulate some comments on this dorama to be fair to it for what its really due.....doramafreak wrote:Am I the only one who started watching this before all the episodes were up?
